I won't pretend that there has been any one, single event or occurrence of late that has prompted this discussion. Suffice it to say that I'm absolutely, positively fed up as a Christian, a veteran, and as an American.
I'm well into my 50's now, and in my lifetime I have never seen a more open, blatant attack on not only our freedoms as Americans but also our beliefs (e.g. Christianity in all of its forms), our sensibilities, and even our intelligence.
There are multitudinous examples of enemies out there who loathe our country, our faith, our founding principles, our traditional economic model.....Islam, Socialists/Communists, OWS'ers, Progressives, radicals of all stripes. However, the threat posed by these individuals/groups are either part of, or pale in comparison to, the internal threat that has now forced us into open warfare: I'm speaking of the axis of Washington, DC, New York City, and Los Angeles (Hollywood, Burbank, et al).
Oh, we could all lump numerous other "blue" hotbeds into the mix....Chicago (replete with its notorious "Machine" that gave us the current Usurper in Chief), Detroit (the poster child for failed liberal policies, especially favoring minorities), San Francisco (need I even say it?), etc. Still, I contend the Axis represents the real threat and must be fought, not just countered.
Obviously I am not speaking of a "shooting war", but a cultural war; a media war....a war for the hearts and minds of this country. They have had free reign for decades and have continued to clamp down upon us with demonstrably Leftist (aka "proven stupid") policies, departments, laws, pronouncements, Executive Orders, regulations, filth over the airwaves, secular humanism, mockery of anything and everything Christian and/or related to our nation's founding and founding fathers, etc.
We sit and take it. Quietly.
Not any more. Enough is enough, and I'm sick of the tyranny of the few.
It has sickened me that anti-American groups such as CAIR, the ACLU, and so many other fringe organizations seem to carry so much clout in this country. These comparatively small groups grab us all collectively by our noses via DC legislators (and even State, local governments) and the media and waltz us around to their sick tunes. We shake our heads and emit low whistles as we read of their latest outrages against us and all that we stand for.....and nothing happens.
They've been getting a free ride, folks, and it's high time we stop it.
We have the numbers. This is still an overwhelmingly Christian nation. Look at any "red/blue" map, especially at the county level, and you can clearly see that there are two Americas: one represented by the Axis, another...and much, much larger....represented by those of us who love this country, serve her unabashedly, and go about our lives trying to be good neighbors and productive citizens.
The number one way we win this war is to vote: vote in the polls, vote with your remote control, vote with your dollars....but now it's time to vote with your VERY LOUD voice en mass.
We need our own organization. Shoot, I may even start it myself if no one else does. There are the odd groups here and there that do great work (most notably, the recent rise of the Tea Party), but it's simply not enough.
The Tea Party is often mistaken to be...and treated as...a political party. We know better, but the perception is there, nonetheless. What I am referring to would be a counter to the ACLU, CAIR, and other Leftist special interest groups that can be heard collectively above the din; one that can approach a broadcast network, a newspaper, a legislator or legislature...and let 'em have it with both barrels (figuratively speaking), letting them know of our disapproval or even anger.
If a tiny handful of Muslims in a Christian country can intimidate the media and legislators, what can millions and millions of outraged American citizens do?
We're talking power; real power that we have yet to tap in middle America.
Let's discuss this. I don't yet know what such an organization should be called (I thought of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Americans, but SPCA has been taken, so...). I don't yet know what relationship it can or should have with the Tea Party, although I'm inclined to believe they would be separate if overlapping in purpose.
Let's take on this Axis on our coastlines and put them in their place once and for all. What say you all?
I'm not proposing throwing one's hands in the air and acquiescing; but we need to be aware that too many couldn't care less about freedoms lost. Talk to any teenager you come across. Most have no idea why the Founders did what they did. Most Americans don't realize that only about a third of the colonists ended up fighting for the other two thirds (one third opposed the 'rebels' and the other third wanted to stay out of it). I'm all for fighting back; that's why I can't vote for 'who ever the nominee is'. It's like pulling the band-aid off slow because of not wanting to deal with the pain. I would like to get it over with so we can get back to being the best country on the planet and then some (I agree with Newt about the space program).
You forgot the **most** powerful and dangerous weapon being used against us: **SCHOOLS**!!!
Our government K-12 schools are evil. Conservatives should remove their children **immediately** and work to see that they are completely shut down!
Government K-12 schools are godlessl They are controlled by Marxists. Simply by attending children must think and reason godlessly just to cooperate in the classroom. And...Children risk learning to be comfortable with socialism. Hey! If the voting mob can give them tuition-free school, why not use that mob to get **lots** of free stuff?
Nearly all of our colleges and universities are evil as well. Conservatives must work to find other ways to educate and train our young adults. ( Charles Murray's idea of qualifying exams is a good one.)
If our children were properly educated and capable of defending their faith and our nation's founding principles, in just 10 to 15 years we would begin to see major changes in the culture.

Right on, right on.
Also, I pray for the day when there will be free, 24-hour, Internet-based, conservative TV with the same polish as the Marxist mainstream media and Fox News.

That’s the plan. The Marxists want it that way. But...I bet they can tell you about Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks.
“That means attending local village council, school board and county board meetings....”
BINGO!!This is how the Left got to where they are over the last 60 years
Conservatives generally would rather do things other than politics..and consequently we have left local civics to the community Marxists.
Yet unless we get involved in this fashion...the only alternative is a Second Amendment one...and that will be only more difficult and disagreeable.
A: Define something as a civil right (i.e. same-sex marriage or free birth control).
B: Label anyone who disagrees a racist/bigot/sexist/homophobe/bedwetter/whatever.
C: Use the MSM propaganda ministry to incessantly reinforce the message.
This has worked the majority of the times that it has been tried. Churches are not privileged to resist or abstain. One notable exception was the ERA back in the seventies. If it had become law, the ERA would almost certainly have been used to force the Catholic Church and some protestant churches to employ women in clergy. We are again staring into the breach.
a good example...last night’s Grammy Awards
While leading a tribute to Whitney Houston, rapper LL Cool J asked the audience to bow their heads and join him in prayer. As he led them in prayer the cameras panned the audience of the assembled Hollywood elite. They were NOT happy! Most of them had looks on their faces as if they were being force-fed spoonfuls of used kitty litter.
But of course LL Cool J is black, so don’t expect to be hearing them complain this morning.
The Welfare Democrats have bred a dependent generation so passive and shiftless, they are far too lazy even to go out and participate in a good riot.
In the end I suspect that will be our salvation.
Ditto that.
