I’m with you 100% and it’s all well and good in the “Perfect” world. I’m not by any means saying what you said is wrong, but I’ve voted, I’ve emailed and I’ve blogged to my hearts content. I’ve “fellowshipped” with friends, co-workers, neighbors and family. Out of all of this, I’ve noticed though is that no matter how “angry” the silent majority is, the same clowns or worse get sent to congress or the White House. I mean seriously, look at who we have as candidates for this election… No one I personally want to see in office. So what choice do I have, I will vote of that I am sure. But the way I see it, is I’m not voting FOR Johnny Mac, I just consider myself voting AGAINST Obama or Hillary. I must choose the lesser of 2 evils and I just don’t think that’s enough anymore. We need someone WORTH voting FOR. I do what I can, but something SERIOUSLY needs to happen and sometime soon. I’m afraid it will be too little too late. Time will tell.

Michelle, I will order two more of Steyn’s books to support his cause.

In this case the fear is not imaginary, and the Governments are very naive to think they will be able to harness the hobgoblin when it has served their purpose to fleece yet more freedoms from us.

This is exactly correct. The .gov thinks that they can use this fear-mongering to their advantage and make us give up more freedom in the name of security. They just don’t realize that the game they’re playing, is not a game to those who wish our downfall. Then when all is said and done and the extremists have taken control, the .gov will be all like “WTF just happened” we’re supposed to be in control.

I guess it’s in the conservatives nature to be more passive about things. The socialists and the libertards are more aggressive and the longer we stay passive, the more aggressive they will become.

If I REALLY knew what I could do to help change the direction (aside from voting and contributing funds to conservative causes) I would be there in a heartbeat. But the way I see it, there is really no huge movements or groups to stop groups like CAIR, ACLU, etc.. MOST people I know are afraid to speak out on these issues for fear if being dubbed a “Racist” or “Bigot”. It doesn’t help that if conservatives actually grew thick skin and threw caution to the wind that the argument would be that “We have gotten as bad as the one’s we are speaking out against” I personally don’t care if they think that. If the cause is “just” then even if we rise up and take a stand, it’s for the greater good, and not for evil purposes. I do believe that we are truly the majority, but it’s a moot point if we don’t stand together. I see us conservatives being backed into a corner and I hope and pray we come out fighting and do not just throw in the towel.

Sorry for the rant, I’m just at my breaking point with the way our government is torpedoing this great country that 5 generations of my family have fought and bled and died to defend, not to mention the countless other that have done the same. I’ll quote an acquaintance that I recently spoke with (and I hope she don’t mind me using this if she happens to see it) that sums up how we all should feel.

When our founders signed the Declaration. it was considered
treason because we were still a British Colony. They had death warrants placed on their head by mad King George.

Some were killed, many had property taken. Few were left okay; most fled as fugitives to CT.

If they could do all that for me, shouldn’t I take up the banner and fight to keep what they held so dear and precious to give to me? I owe them my freedom. We all do. The fight never
ends for me. America is too precious to lose to liberals,socialists/communist/fascists and lying thugs.

So few people actually care any more. I hope for the sake of our children and our children’s children and this great nation that us citizens band together and finally say enough is enough.
