We need to somehow do this ourselves.Not joke about hiring people to do jobs we wont do.My health is bad,my wifes health is worse.But we could stay for a day and be relieved by someone else.We could send food and water to a supply line.We could help transport supplys.We could spare a few dollars to help in some way.
We see Ukraine doing it.
Have we lost our way so much that noone will even try?
Yes they will try something,we see that also in Ukraine.Do we have the courage as they do,to send more for every one that falls?
Many FReepers talk a big talk,about how they will stand with thier guns.Will they stand with fellow FReepers/Teaparty/Conservatives?
We stood for a day,what would happen if we stood for a month?@ months?3 months?Would the truckers join us in shutting everything down?Who else might join to counter those that would vilify us?
Or are we content to spout brave words behind the safety of our monitors?
I agree with your observations.
However, propaganda comes from the media without the help of the political class.
1 month or 3, would create a field day for them. Can you imagine ?
Rich white, “Tea party” folks, protesting for their right to stay rich and keep America white, by denying the unfortunate access to government help.
With soo many disinterested and self-absorbed voters there is nothing we could do to change the narrative.
A Brave new world indeed.
Think about it. You bring up Rush Limbaugh in a conversation with a stranger at a bar that happens to be a liberal. It’s likely they have never listened to Rush, but they have been convinced that he is a crazy Right-wing racist. Ted Cruz ? Rand Paul ? Sarah Palin ?
The conservative message is shot down in an instant by the lefts ability to kill the messenger. It doesn’t matter to their leaders if they are spreading lies, what matters is that enough shallow voters accept what they are fed and are passionate enough to mobilize and vote.
Conservatives read books, we know and understand history while the low-info voters are more interested in what other people think about them. They are like a child that needs acceptance. Virtually every aspect of our society is being ruled by this fear, the fear of being labeled as “Judgmental”. They are OK with judging those that they can label judgmental and they don’t even recognize the hypocrisy. Because they have many friends among them doing the same.
I’ve said this on many threads.
“The left has embraced uncertainty.”
The P.C. culture that has dominated our society for well over 25 years has made it virtually impossible for a conservative message to be heard. Conservatives own truth, we believe there is truth, while the positions of the American leftist are fluid. We believe human nature is a constant, they believe human nature is a variable.
We stand on a solid foundation while they reject foundations and those that proclaim a foundation even exists.
Once again, they have embraced uncertainty and anybody that is certain, is their enemy.
