All of this talk about what is wrong with the nation and the world with zero action is bordering on stupid.

You mean we have to actually participate in the political process to make a difference, instead of just bellyaching about it?

Yeah, all those tea party activists are just sitting on their butts complaining. Come you lazy bums, do something!

If I may further expound, many will say (including some here on FR), “Why, I can’t go to the county commission/school board/city council meeting! Dancing with the Stars (or whaterver) is on TV tonight!”

As long as the Left controls the mainstream media, nothing is going to cause this nation to reverse course. The low information voters are easy targets.

Been there, done that, got the bloody tee shirt. For over fifteen years I worked with a small cadre of conservatives, and even some liberals to try to get people elected to office who were not beholden to the Democratic party machine in the city of York, PA.

The machine makes the rules, knows the rules, enforces them, and doesn’t play by them. The money to support the machine comes from old money business owners who make money doing business with the city, mostly wasting taxpayer money on schemes that enrich them and their friends, while doing nothing to solve any of the problems of the city, such as rampant violent crime, outrageous taxes, and failing schools. It’s the same money laundering scheme that government employee unions use.

I hate to say this, but I’m not sure the electoral process hasn’t been rigged by both parties to prevent any meaningful change from happening.

My in-laws are liberals and to me they always seem unhappy even though liberal/leftist control everyting in modern culture, the media, hollywood educaton etc. I always ask them “What more do you want”? “You” own everything and the world isn’t a Utopia yet? What gives? Why so unhappy?

Not necessarily. You can be as active as you want and if you don’t have the votes you don’t have the votes. Unless of course you are talking about massive amounts of civili disobedience and perhaps even violence..... those are the ways of the left

Sounds like a plan, but I need to talk to my CPA to make sure my books are audit-ready.

We are at the point where the boxes have become ineffective- the ballot box has given us dictator-wannabees, the soap box is ignored in favor of who got kicked off the island, the jury box is negated by the anti-America judicial appointees. The ammo box remains. It is 1775 and counting. We need to start ambushing the enemy leadership, those who will soon give the orders to move us to the camps.

Will we go from zero action to full rebellion overnight?
