Civil Disobedience

Writes Pat at And So it Goes in Shreveport:

What kind of Senate does business like this? Voting in the dead of night, conducting business behind closed doors, totally and completely corrupting and hijacking the legislative process, buying votes and trading favors...it smacks of corruption, lies, and dirt. One feels used, ignored and belittled as an observer in this whole process.

Cheap. Tawdry.

Amen. As I wrote yesterday, McConnell rightly points out that were this not an attempt to deceive the American people, they would not be holding the vote at 1 A.M. on Monday morning. Thieves do their business under the cover of darkness. Is that what our government has become? The Dems ARE a bunch of thieves stealing our very liberty.

The question becomes what are we going to do about it? I can sit here and bang on this keyboard until Hell freezes over but what would does accomplish? The Tea Party movement has had an effect. Cap & Trade is being delayed. The Senate is sneaking in to the chamber to vote in the middle of the night. Congressmen in "safe districts" are announcing their retirement.

As I said in the comments at Legal Insurrection, defeated does not mean deflated. This battle has not gone well but the war is not lost. The Left is fighting for power. We are fighting for freedom and liberty. Momentum and history are on our side.

This is a comment that was left on an earlier post:

NATIONAL STRIKE JAN 20, 2010 to coincide w/ STATE OF UNION SPEECH NATIONWIDE STRIKE over Obamacare...

Call into work sick. Buy nothing. Find a union hall, congress creature office, State or Federal building and form picket lines. Come ready to party...

NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! Put that right back in their face!

NATIONAL STRIKE JAN 20, 2010 to coincide w/ STATE OF UNION SPEECH NATIONWIDE STRIKE over Obamacare...TAKE BACK AMERICA

I don't know if this will catch on or not but I've put some thought in to it and I've decided that I will be spending January 20th sitting in front of Rep. Kathy Castor's office. I am aware that going on strike is not exactly number one with a bullet on the average Conservative's to do list but maybe it should be.

Any thoughts?

Wow, I just started posting this on blogs I visit this morning. I will admit I saw the idea somewhere, but have decided to make it my own. And the more of us who do just that will hopefully spark a fire that will spread far and wide. The shot heard round the world so to say.

Taking to the streets is an unusual tactic for our side of things. But new ideas are called for with the new problems our country faces. Time to take the lefts tactics and shove them straight down their throats. Copy and paste the message below everywhere you go. Email friends and family, tell co-workers and shootin' buddies. Let your local politicians know they are on notice also. If the left wants grassroots movements, then by God let us give it to them!...

Tomorrow I will be compiling a list of all the email addresses for the Chamber of Commerce offices, Republican clubs, Libertarian clubs, and Conservative student groups in my area. There are quite a few of them. Add to them the 912 groups and Tea Party groups and we are talking about a massive number of people. I will do my best to get the word out. But one way or the other, even if I am sitting out there alone, I'll be in front of Rep. Kathy Castor's office on January 20th!

Don't forget your Binky. Good grief, you people are so full of crap. Oh noes! Not the Tea Baggers! Pathetic.

I thought Montana was populated by manly men. I guess the quivering redbellies have moved into every state. You know that fear you feel in your guts when your around men of conviction? Like those dreaded teabagger types? You feel that way because your ethics and morals are Jello(tm). If your such an upstanding piece of manhood (Yeah right) Try mouthing off in person down at the feed store. Oh yeah, that is how you got your gizzards stuffed full of sweetfeed last time. That is why your cowardice is best left to sniping on the net. Your nose is safer that way.

Sorry Carol, I have only had one cup of coffee so far this morning and have little room to hear tripe from tiny minds...
