Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most responsible for the decline of America of them all?

RESIZE: AAA

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most responsible for the decline of America of them all?

Think about it.

I’m tired or all the whining by conservatives on this site and generally.

“It’s Boehner’s fault!’

“It’s McConnell’s fault!”

“The Republicans better do this! The Republicans better do that! Or else!”

Or else what, exactly? With over half of the Republican Party precinct committeeman slots, nationwide, EMPTY, those are idle threats to the incumbents.

Or, as the politically clueless Laura Ingraham said yesterday morning on her radio program, “It’s Bill Frist’s fault.” (She admitted on her radio program about a year ago that she had no idea how the Virginia Republican Party selected its U.S. Senate primary candidates – she did not know what a “delegate” was. And we’re supposed to take advice from her?)

Last time I checked, those of “we the people” who bothered to vote elected these clowns.

Stop blaming others. The political predicament we find ourselves in is of our own doing. Or, more accurately, our own “not doing.” It’s OUR fault. It’s the fault of the American people. I’m guilty as charged – as of 2007, when I got involved in Republican local party politics as a precinct committeeman. But I voted for my Party leaders at the local, county and state levels. Did you?

Do you know how EASY it is to get into that position? Do you care to find out?

WE elected the clowns who now steal our money through confiscatory taxes that we’ve allowed them to pass for unconstitutional expenditures we’ve allowed them to pass.

So . . . what are YOU going to DO about it?

Let me guess. You are are going to “make your voice heard!” You’re going to:

Write another blog!

“Sign” another online petition!

Read more blogs at Redstate!

Listen to more talk radio! So you can, as Rush says, be that “go to” person on a particular issue! Go, Speed Racer, go!

Send more money to Republican U.S. House and Senate incumbents!

Whoopdee do!

How’s that been working out for you?

Oh, I know! Let’s have another rally in DC!!!! That’ll show ‘em!

Or, are you going to actually get your buttocks into a chair at your local Republican Party committee meeting? To take over a political party? So you can actually elect good, decent Americans as your representatives? Who will actually FIGHT for you? Instead of 20-year incumbents who will “cry for you” and not be able to name a single government program they’d kill.

Do you even know what “your local Republican Party committee meeting” refers to? I was actually chastised on an e-mail list reserved for “political activists” for explaining to some young person what the term “Party committee meeting” actually meant. I was being too “condescending,” or something. Well, as Steve Martin might say “Excuuuuse meeeee.”

Folks, we are about to lose our country as we know it. This is VERY serious business. My mission is not to make friends — it’s to make political comrades. To destroy, politically, the Democrat/socialist/progressive/Marxist enemies of this country. And that includes the two most recent supreme court justice nominees — whom our limp Richard Republican senators were too timid too confront.

Bottom line: Unless YOU “do something,” politically, inside the Republican Party, we will lose our country.

So, what are YOU going to DO?

Be honest. Do you know the geographical boundaries of your POLITICAL precinct? Do you know who your Republican precinct committeemen are? Or whether your precinct has any? Do you even know any of your Republican neighbors in your precinct? Have you ever been to a Republican Party committee meeting? Do you even know where it meets?

If you have not actually caused, with a clipboard, another citizen to sign a political petition of some sort in the last two years, you are not a real political activist.

Questions?

Go to my little blog below.

Or e-mail me at coldwarrior1978 at gmail dot com. I’ll set you straight.

For Liberty,

    Because my buddy was moving out of town, and said I should take his spot as precinct chairman. I said, well, won’t there be competition? He said, not likely. The spot was empty when I took it. I was the precinct election judge for about 10 elections, many of which I would have preferred not to, but if I didn’t, they would have let the “alternate election judge”, a Democrat, run it. The county executive meetings are something short of fascinating, but not all that bad. When there is real business on the floor, it’s quite interesting.

    After 4 years of that, I stepped aside when a local Tea Party hero wanted it. He started out in a blaze, actually sending a few pieces of mail to the district, including a (quite helpful and well formed) voter guide for a local election where candidates do not declare party affiliation. Ahhhh, the flame burned bright but not for long. Within 6 months, the GOP county people were calling me asking if I would sign up for another 2 year stint as the precinct election judge, since the tea party guy was not going to do any of that election stuff (and meanwhile the precinct-wide mailings had dried up).

    It’s not glamourous, and it involves getting your hands dirty with some real work. But it is important. Just like CW says, that’s the route to retaking the Party.
