Now that’s a creative piece of art! Love it! It would make a great T shirt and flag.
Thanks, I'll have to look into that.

We the people in the streets are having a blockbuster effect. They are scared to death. They never expected the last six weeks. DeMint of SC was instrumental as was Beck. I went to a town hall in Tampa to get the snowball rolling. It is a new day and the dynamic is changing as we watch.
Great - keep us updated!
Thanks. I’ve got zazzle.com open in another tab so I can do some looking around.
In a few short weeks - conservatives did the following
Sarah Palin - death panels
Glenn Beck - VanJones
Hannah Giles & James O’Keefe - ACORN
Joe Wilson - You Lie!
Millions of Patriots - March on DC and through out country
While the commies - used the race card.
I think they are very susceptible, I’m not sure how. But that’s the whole idea behind this young guy and the Acorn-prostitute enabling thing. One thing we don’t do is get theatrical. Why not at the next Obama rallye, we get a group together to go as the Karl Marx Brothers? Actually, if the Karl Marx Brothers followed Obama everywhere, that would be very funny. I have a couple of comedian friends who would do that.
BTW Hildy, was that a good quality tee you got from zazzle?
it was great. The best part is that you can pick whatever kind of shirt you want..short sleeve, long sleeve, fitted, loose. So you put your design up and I can order it in whatever style I want. It’s fabulous!
I've given a good deal of thought to differences between conservative, traditional value folks and those who would like nothing better than to "change" the greatest country the world has ever known. That in itself takes some chutzpah, but the loony left has no lack drive. Which brings me to my point. WE and THEY use two different operating systems, to coin a term. Theirs is adolescent based whereas ours is adult based. The rebellious yoot against the steady hand of a good set of parents. It may be a simple analogy but it seems to fit. Lacking a steady hand on the helm their system would probably crash in a matter of years. History shows it always has.
Well, preaching to the choir. There is SO much that could be said about our wayward tormentors, I daresay there are volumes that could be written about them. ;^)
The ACORN videos are explicitly Alinsky tactics in action.
Cool!
Poor Jack is wasting his time, one million protesters could not get through to this guy!
I suppose so. Question: I suspect this is not the first war between conservatives and collectivists. What has history shown to work against tyrant wannabes, or more precisely, their minions, the ones we have to deal with every day? I'm not a very good historian, but I'm thinking these people will only get angrier, crazier and more determined as their chicanery is exposed. Can it end peacefully?
Heh. I absolutely agree. His agenda is set in stone.
Yes, but what I meant to say was that: we should get theatrical, in a clever way, of course. I don’t know what that looks like right now. I mean, theater is adult too (not to be confused with adult theater). I have a small network of artists and comedians who think the way we do. It’s time to put them to work. But we do need funding. If Acorn can get money, we should too....
Yeah, I understood that, it's just that both sides are driven by a whole different set of, I dunno, values I suppose. It would appear their deepest need/desire whatever, is to "buck" the system, to "do their own thang", much like adolescents. Given that this yields an almost entirely emotionally charged set of "values", they are emotionally attached to them. Their deep-seated need, if you will, is to "change" the system consequently they are driven to "sell" their values, or more accurately, lack of values. If it feels good, do it.
Conservatives on the other hand seem to arrive at their closely held values through a more rational, reasoned approach. Our values make sense to us because we possibly know enough about human nature to understand, instinctively maybe, what works for the stability and continuity of the culture long term. If we expect most people to go through the same thought processes, we apparently don't see the need in "selling" our vision.
Whew, all that to say I absolutely agree with your premise that entertainment mixed in with the "lesson plan" is probably the only thing that might reach the uncommitted "soft" conservatives in particular. I said as much several days ago on a Glenn Beck thread. HE in fact said as much on O'Reilly's show one evening, "When the lights come on, it's showtime"! Heh, the short answer is, I agree. ;^)
