She saved you from a troubling dream (but helped you to remember it, too?)
A true friend, that dog.
“I had a dream.” — OneVike
Thanks for the ping. I sure am glad you had that dream, and not me!
I agree about Repukes, but not sure whether a new party is needed, or a serious purge of the existing R party.
Wow, I have very simular dreams.
Long ago one stuck with me where I was beng stalked by a drone that was out to kill me for my thoughts.
This was long before there were such things as flying drones of course, and my thoughts? ...they were just of freedom, love of country and Jesus.
All I could do was hide and nobody cared about the drone.
Today my dreams are very often dreams of much frustration where nobody listens and nobody cares except me and my weapons are useless.
Agreed, and such a movement should begin/continue today. The midterms are around the corner, and there’s a lot to correct and preserve.
Unlike the DNC, we don’t have an organizing structure that reflects that which propelled Trump to the Presidency. Somehow the structure must evolve by the end of 2017.

The list goes on and on.

Are you a troll? No one has ever advocated that sort of thing on this site. You look to me like a leftard who thinks conservatives must believe things like this, trolling for a bite.
A representative republic cannot function without a healthy press. We don’t need to do away with the First Amendment; we just need to get the scumbags out of the media.
I once dreamed I was in a swimming pool with Phillis Diller - nude!
Consider an alternative that might be easier than starting a 3rd party - take over the Republican Party-using the position of Precinct Committeeman.
IIRC, In 2008, half of the Precinct Comitteeman positions were empty. Conservatives need to fill those positions and also run against the Rino Chairs and win in the other districts. Heck, in red states maybe even consider going under cover and become a Precinct Chair for the Dems - a spy and person to help stop nefarious plans etc.
After all the rich and powerful have been supporting both sides to do their bidding, let the true Patriots benefit from the same strategy.
Here’s an excerpt from Eagle Forum:
It’s easy to be elected a Precinct Committeeman.
The way you get elected a Precinct Committeeman is usually very simple. In a typical state, you can call your county clerk and get the necessary forms, get ten of your friends to sign a Petition requesting that you be on the ballot in the Primary as a candidate for Precinct Committeeman, and file the Petition by the required date.
Then you walk around your precinct, knock on one door after another, and say, “I would appreciate it if you would vote for me for Precinct Committeeman. You will find me on the Republican ballot in the Primary election on Tuesday, _______________.” If you win you are the elected Precinct Committeeman for your precinct.
Of course, if your precinct already has a good Precinct Committeeman who is doing his job, he may not take kindly to you as an upstart and he may defeat you. You should find out the situation before making your decision.
However, a typical county may have dozens of precincts without any Precinct Committeeman because no one has bothered to run. It is sometimes easy to be appointed to one of these positions by calling your Party Chairman. Many precincts have do-nothing Committeemen who can easily be defeated because they don’t do their job.
To change things, we must change the laws.
To change the laws, we must change the people who make them.
To get elected, your candidate must be on the ballot.
To get on the November ballot you must win the Primary.
To win the Primary, you must get the support of people who make endorsements in the Primary, who reliably vote in the Primary, and who get out the vote of others in the Primary. Those people are the Precinct Committeemen.
Therefore, Precinct Committeeman is the most powerful office in the world because Precinct Committeemen determine who gets the chance to be elected to office at every level of government. Remember, if your candidate is not on the ballot, he will not be elected.
Party rules and titles vary widely from state to state, but usually the two parties in a given state use the same system. Where “Republican” is used, “Democratic” can be substituted. The term “Committeeman” is an office, not a person, so it can be a he or a she.
Duties of the Precinct Committeeman:
The Precinct Committeeman is the person who is legally charged with getting out the vote on election day.
If he does his job well, he will ring the doorbell of every household in the precinct and ask polite questions to find out the Party and other political views of every voter. (That’s called canvassing.)
Then, before each election, the Precinct Committeeman will personally deliver campaign literature (such as a marked sample ballot) to every voter who is expected to vote for your Party or candidate. Then the Precinct Committeeman makes sure that all his voters get to the polls on election day. This is the way elections are won.
Powers of the Precinct Committeeman:
Friendly access to neighbors. Most people are eager to know more about their government and the people who run it. When you introduce yourself as their “Republican Precinct Committeeman,” they assume you have something to say. You can provide them with information on candidates and issues. Of course, you don’t waste your time on those who would rather get their information from the Precinct Committeeman of the other Party.
Respect from elected officials. Since a Precinct Committeeman represents, on average, 500 voters, and has the power to vote for other Party officials and to make endorsements of candidates, any call or letter from a Precinct Committeeman gets the attention of elected officials.
Launching pad for other offices. You would be amazed at how many of our Presidents, Senators, Congressmen, and state and local officials started as Precinct Committeemen, and still serve as Precinct Committeemen even though they hold a higher elected office. That’s because they know the power of a Precinct Committeeman.
Direct influence over Party Platform, policies, and selection of candidates. At state, district, county, and township caucuses and conventions, the Precinct Committeeman is an active player. He can have a tremendous influence on the adoption of the Party Platform and policies, support of or opposition to issues, and selection of candidates.

Just a thought.
That’s kinda how I feel too. See my post #71.
>> and still serve as Precinct Committeemen
Unbelievable. Thanks, greeneyes.
More than 30 years ago, I was invited by a good neighbor to help canvas for the local GOP. My neighbor was a true gentleman, but eventually I discovered the local council, apart from my neighbor, was directed by self-serving dirtbags focused on their wants. I walked away.
I’d like to see a vehicle that could penetrate and reform the cloisters of established corruption that have infected most every congressional district throughout the Country.
Dear Vikeone,
Y’all ain’t the only one!
In terms you know, “it’s time to shave your head, find stout ash staves for bows and shafts, handle your stone and tend to Greindemahl, ensure thy shield not we’ther’d, and gird thy loins.”
1 Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge people with equity?
2 No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
3 Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.
4 Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
5 that will not heed the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchanter may be.
6 Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions!
7 Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.
8 May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along, like a stillborn child that never sees the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns— whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away.[c]
10 The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Then people will say, “Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.”
I’m not sure if this guy would fit the list list, but I have a preference for the tactics of Genghis Khan. I mean, if you have to kick somebodies @ss, you may as well do a thorough job of it.
You know that old quote? “All it takes for evil to exist is for good men to do nothing.”
Well, it’s true. Disgusting as the local dirt bags may be, there are bound to be some honest people in the community/precinct - the task is to convince them to unseat the dirt bags and then be honorable enough to resist the temptation that will come their way.
What hope has a nation when a precinct of 500 can’t even elect honest conservatives? This nation is toast, unless local communities clean house. JMHO.
No excrement, Mr. Holmes.
