“The obvious question that begs to be asked is - why do we take it??

We’re supposedly the gun loving tough guys, yet we act like wimps.

Where are our protests? We’re letting Trump fight this war all alone. Why are they organized and we’re not?”


These are million dollar questions. I’ve said for years that conservatism is the lazy man’s political philosophy. Where we got the idea that listing to AM talk radio and buying “more ammo” was all you needed to do to have “participated”.

Where you sit on your ass and look at the left protesting something and dismiss your own lack of activism as “Well I have a job”, as if everyone on the left is unemployed.

Where you can win an election, but then you kick back and treat the aftermath like a “fun” show to watch and not a thing that requires constant diligence and participation, only to then scream and yell about the “wimps” and RINOs responding to the leftist protestors that are in their face and not just doing what you want when you dont bother to pick up a phone, show up, or anything else.

Where too many on our side is expecting Trump to just magically make things happen, while the left controls the street and makes hell all over, and too many here just shakes their fists at the computer screen.

And despite the lack of ability to even just show up and show support for the guy that is working his ass off, people here actually think they are going to be in an actual shooting war! Like if marching with a cardboard sign is too hard, how is anyone here going to manage to go out into a warzone?

The right needs to start taking this stuff far more seriously and give up some of that leisure time to make sure our voices are heard.
