>>Quit bitching and do something about it<<

A lesson in “doing something about it”: Sarah Palin has a LOT more political power than me. How much has she accomplished, really?

There were a couple of conservatives that ran and won seats in the house for the state of Washington. They had a lot more power than me. They rolled up their sleeves and did the “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” thing.

Both were out in two years.

It is why I started saying, in the mid-1990’s, that I felt like a Jew in early 1930’s Germany. They learned that the prudent one was not the one who fought the battle politically. The prudent ones bought tickets out of the country.

My countrymen are too influenced by the modern MSM. I really cannot fight that. At least, not legally.

So I got as far away as I could, in the spirit of my tag line.

I think Johnnie might be missing a key factor here.

His intellectually stimulating response is exactly what I’m getting at, and the attempt at irony falls flat.

My entire point is that I’m tired of just bitching, and by calling other conservatives to be active, I am doing more than just whining that they aren’t.

Calling me a moron and saying I don’t understand how the system works is also an ineffective jibe. Given that this is a call for people to be politically active and an argument that we actually have to defeat the left in the coming elections, how is that a display of ignorance of the system? Are the ones I want out not the ones who pass the legislation? Who enact laws and spend us into oblivion?

I don’t think distancing ourselves is the answer, and I don’t think the defeat of other candidates is reason to stop trying. I think getting involved and enduring juvenile insults like the ones Johnnie and his counterparts on the left often sling is necessary to fixing the problem.

Failing that, we go the route many FReepers are rooting for: revolution.
