Tired of all the side stepping.

Post by davasmith »

When are we as a people gonna come together and do something instead of sitting at the keyboard bitching? I see a trend of political and social correctness here and elsewhere that makes my stomach turn. If you say anything against a black person its racist, bullshit. If you say anything against the govt your an uneducated nobody, bullshit. If you want to talk action your a terrorist, bullshit. Small gatherings get s*it done. Talk never has. He talks loudest wins the argument, bullshit. As I've said myself, more elbows than a**holes. Faith without works is dead and so is patriotism. Just thought i'd vent a bit. We aren't blind we see what's going down and we continue to sit,bitch and hope someone else will fix the problems. More elbows, less a**holes!

In truth, I know your frustrations. I tried to organize a group of folks to join the GOP locally, see about putting in place people whom feel the same way I do, make some "waves" stop having the establishment make the choices.

I got 4 people to show up. 4...

People talk a big friggin' game, but when it's time to put their butts, and money, on the line? I get crickets...

I have toted that barge, lifted that bale for the gun rights, and libertarian causes as of late, and I'm friggin' tired.

Well right now I am homeschooling two out of my four kids (working on that next generation bit). I am sticking my extra nickels and dimes into any organization that I can see that has a chance of making a difference against the nightmare that exists today. I vote in EVERY election that comes up. I call and write my congressman and our senators (fat lot of good it does). I go to the rallies I can, but we are family people with jobs and flag football games to go to.

What would you suggest? I am open to hearing how we can individually do more, but I fail to see what elbows need to be thrown where?

Homeschooling here...
The solution starts at home. If you aren't your offspring's primary educator, and imparting solid, time tested values that will enable them to be self supporting, self directed, self governed, self - fill in in the blank here, then you're just contributing to the problem, IMO.

We all hear you, and many of us are trying our best to gather support from anyone who will listen. I will be voting the lesser of the two evils in the upcoming, and plan to support the better of what ever my county offers too. It's too bad we can't seem to get a handful of people to think for themselves anymore, and help vote out the long ago should have been gone pricks that keep stealing, and just re-taxing us. Not to mention those who would take all of our god given rights. I have a co-worker so enamored with BHO, he can't see the crap storm from the wool that's he has allowed to be pulled over his own eyes. Yes he is a black man, but the black woman I work with, she has a clue, and at least I know she will be voting with us.

To Dorm: I'd suggest a face to face sit down with other same minded individuals. Coffee, donuts and direction helped bring down escobar, "and" I never said you were an a**hole, you did.
To Allingerneral: We all know what a short term pres we have. We need action, real action. We already have too many arm chair quarterbacks.
To Rev: Let me know when the next meeting is, cuz I'd like to meet with like minded folks and I'll be there. I am putting ass to task. I shouldn't be the only one willing to.
To Kruetz, drop the damn suspicion. I'm a real patriot, willing to meet face to face with anyone who wants our country back. I miss my country!
To Mama: I'd throw elbows wherever possible. Its time to stop being put on the back steps. When your voice cant be heard, it can't be counted. Understand? yelling has not helped, voting doesn't seem to do a lot, what would President Jefferson say to this?
To Palladin: Seriously? home schooling is not the only answer. So you teach the youngins' right, and what praytell will they be able to do with that knowledge? No more than you or I today. Nobody wants to hear the truth, they only want to hear what makes them feel safe, secure and somewhat noticed. I'm a little shocked by the niativity.
To Raulet: The problem is not voting. We all know how to vote. It does no good or has it and I'm completely in the dark? What new policies have been enacted that tells us voting is our salvation? Have we all forgotten our God given right to be free from tyrrany? We live in a country where you can be jailed without due process. You can be stopped and frisked just because. Didn't Germany have a similar way of handling people just before the holocaust? Papers....... perhaps for now its just insurance and registration they seek oh and the occasional drivers license. Just saying, damn people. We aren't being led to the slaughter house, we are running by ourselves and the "elite" are laughing their asses off. They don't even have to work for it now. I don't suggest any actions that violate your conscience, but where is your conscience?

Davasmith, I ask again what lawful actions are you recommending?

If you are suggesting unlawful action, this is not 1776, we have a way to change the system, and thus have no moral underpinning for rebellion. As bad as it is right now, and in many ways it is terrible, to think we would get anything better by rebellion is folly. So if you are calling for unlawful action....I will not follow.

Never said unlawful action. Just action of a real nature. How about going to congressional meetings and demanding to be heard? How about holding a public trial of our leaders who have raped this country? How about buying air time on tv to voice the truth. How about putting ads in the movie theatres before the movie? Ass to task, that's all I'm saying.

It's Not the People Who Vote that Count; It's the People Who Count the Votes - Stalin
First this, then you will have only 1 guy on the list to vote... then you will not be able to talk and comment (oops, this is happening already).
Then it came surveillance by secret police (oops, that happens too...) I think you can only choose between 2 faces of the same coin now... no other things. It may be already too late.
Been there, done that.

I never said (or thought) you were calling me an @sshole. I knew all along you were talking about all those OTHER @ssholes who read this forum. Or maybe I should have said the ones who don't. :roll:

As for me calling me an @sshole, I reckon I can if I want to. Heaven knows SWMBO has made the accusation often enough that a confession is about due. :hysterical:

LASA, davasmith, that was just my odd slant on jocularity. Think nothin' of it at all.

What I find amazing, the "Majority" are never polled, are never asked opinions, and when they ARE?

It flies in the face of politicians, the media, and the activists...

Bluntly, I don't care what you smoke, what you eat, who you screw, what you drive, what you drink, what you shoot, WHETHER you shoot, how you spend your money you earned, or what your political leanings may be...

But in turn...

I EXPECT THE SAME DAMNED THING! Leave me alone, I'll leave you alone. Too bad the busy bodies haven't learned that...

I would think that common sense would dictate that we as a society would look to the past, find trends and adjust accordingly! I now digress, there seems to be a complete lack of common sense in the world nowadays. Dorm I know what you mean and I second the lasa quote as well. Rev. Thanks for staying unobtrusive in my life and I shall return the same, lol. We have got to start thinking outside the box, the a**holes do and now we're playing catch up. It should never have gotten this far in this country. I don't think its too late, however we have to become radical in thought and action. When the locals start kicking doors in then its too late. Then it will become an all out fight. How long do we have? Anyone..............?

When you have a charismatic leader drumming up mindless drones, and restricting rights? Be afraid, be very, very afraid.

Between wars my country was a really nice place. We had a lot of oil, we have built the world's first large refinery, in 1850, and we had first city with electric public lightning in Europe in 1884. Bucharest was called "the little Paris".
When communist took power after WW2 there were many who saw the trouble. But very few who stood and fight. Couple hundred patriots. They retreat in the mountains and were hunted for years. And died proud that they did the right thing.
Most of the people just sit and accepted whatever was put on them. Land was confiscated, horses, cattle, almost everything. Many died of hunger. Almost all intellectual were thrown in jail and reeducation camps. Millions suffered for 50 years. Grandpa used to tell me war stories and that if more people had the balls to say NO and fight back then all this would be avoided, in Germany, in Russia and at home too.
So, don't expect any "action". Except couple isolated cases, it won't be. People refuses to see and believe that something bad can happen.
