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.
Ever notice my tag line? ;)
I’ve also made no secret of the fact that I bought a small farm in central Kentucky in October of 2008, closed in summer of 2009 and moved my stuff out there in June of 2010.
And these recent articles can give you a feel from how I see the future based on the past:

I’ve seen this coming for my entire adult life, and ESPECIALLY in the last five years. It started when the US went completely off gold in the Nixon years. But to be clear, I see this as international in scope. If this isn’t the precursor to Ezekiel 39, it would be difficult to imagine what would be.
