I don't think it's apathy. I think it's more of us work for a living. We are just as enthusiastic for our cause, but when the liberals want to protest, thousands come out of the woodwork because they aren't doing anything else that day but watching TV and hanging out.
You know, go protest something, maybe get a free hot dog.
I'd like to grab my pitchfork and head to Washington, but I have a job that controls about 12-14 hours of my day.
Only when civil law breaks down and there are no jobs, or lifestyle to maintain, will we rally and let everyone know just how many believeing conservatives there really are

Well said.

Only when civil law breaks down and there are no jobs, or lifestyle to maintain, will we rally and let everyone know just how many believeing conservatives there really are.

That explains the desperate attempts to keep the economy afloat. Our rulers know what happens when the stability of the conservative middle class is lost.

Excellent post.

I'm the PoC for my State on the Alarm and Muster list, I upgrade my NRA membership to Life, I'm still giving to the GOA/SAF/JPFO, I've written letters/emails/petitions that never seem to do any good, and I've voted.

What more am I expected to do? Wife, two kids, career... Only so many hours in a day.

Things break down though... That's a different story. They implement a full on firearms confiscation, if they attempt to make an entire segment of our population instant felons despite the Constitutions limits on their power, if the S truly HTF... Then the family gets squirreled away and we hit the Reset button.
