WHO LEADS THE 9/12 PROTESTERS?
The Edisto Joe Outlook ^ | 09/27/2009 | Edisto Joe

Posted on 09/27/2009 10:59:45 AM PDT by Edisto Joe

Main stream media, or state run media, which ever you prefer, all seem to be wondering who is the leader of this protest movement? Is it Rush, Hannity, Beck...possibly Newt Gingrich, or heaven forbid, Sarah Palin? They seem to be alluding to the fact that without a leader, one must question their legitimacy.

Well, my question has always been, why do they need a leader when the message is loud and clear? I found a response for the pundits on the left, and guess what? It comes from the mouth of one of your own politicians. So the next time you consider the "Tea Baggers" and the "9/12'ers" leaderless...consider this, from one of yours:

"What counts now is not just what we are against, but what we are for. Who leads us is less important than what leads us...what convictions, what courage, what faith...win or lose. A man doesn't save a century, or a civilization, but a militant party wedded to a principle can."

Adlai Stevenson, Democrat.

I thought Glenn Beck got the 9/12 Project rolling.

Sounds to me like word has been given to start rounding up all the opposition “leaders” to prevent the angry masses of America from protesting the new Marxist Regime.

“Well, my question has always been, why do they need a leader when the message is loud and clear?”

Well put. At the moment, a ‘leader’ is of little consequence (other than some individual the media can trash) compared to bringing issue(s) to the fore. It’s the message that resonates, and it has been successful beyond wishful thinking. One convincing reason to believe in the success to date is how the media, dems and their ilk, are befuddled in response, resorting to the fallback of their name calling and whining. Keep it up.

The PEOPLE lead it. That’s what they can’t understand. They seem to think we have some secret meeting somewhere where all of this is planned out. Well, that’s because they are not used to things like this and people speaking out. OUr backs are to the wall...we are standing tall and WE THE PEOPLE are the Leaders!!!!!!! There...they can stick that in their pipes and smoke it!!!”

The hivemind cannot get the concept of individual autonomy.

The hivemind cannot get the concept of principled thought by many individuals who arrive at the same conclusion. The hivemind assumes that there must be a leader, a director, to achieve such cooperation.

They are drones. They follow directions. Without a queen, the drone mills around until it dies. See Mitch Snyder as an example. They simply cannot grasp individual initiative in the context of liberty.
