A grassroots movement for American Liberty

I'm sympathetic to the ideals of the tea party, but I'm not a member of any of the 'groups'. I wonder about the wisdom or effectiveness of these groups. Many seem to be opportunistic people jumping on a bandwagon to make money. That ruins the movement, IMO. Then, they claim to speak for everyone, because they have the name in their website or PAC organization.

I don't want to start any group, or join any group. I see the need for communication, & social media can help with that. I see the need for organization, & having a list of goals, or a mission statement of sorts.

But it seems like every grassroots movement is hijacked by spin offs, or special interests, or single issue groups pushing their pet project. A movement for American liberty needs a broad coalition, with an inclusive ideology, rather than narrow special interests.

Is it possible in the modern American political climate to do this? I know the media can only think in Pacs or parties, but can there be a unifying, overriding movement that does not get bogged down in special interests?

I have said before, that quibbling about details is like fussing over the dessert menu on the titanic, & much of our public debate is just that. The ship of liberty is sinking, & the statists have distracted us with 'social issues', or heated arguments over definitions. Once we have the prize of liberty, the other things will fall into place. But if we neglect the central issue of liberty, we will have neither liberty nor justice, nor civil rights.

There is a grassroots movement for liberty. The tea party reflected that, IMO. It has been smeared by the propaganda arm of the progressive left, but that was still their roots. It does not matter to me if that name continues to hold influence, or if so named organizations continue to speak for that movement, as long as their central message is not lost. I also think the civil rights movement in the 60s was part of that 'american freedom' movement. But it was redefined & hijacked by the progressives (ironic, because their roots are eugenicism & racism) & morphed into the progressive cartel.

Is being 'independent' like trying to not be in a gang in prison? Is the modern political & sociological climate hostile to individualism? Statists are masters of pacs & groups for getting their agendas realized. Individuals have no voice in America. That is ironic, because America is founded upon individualism.

Is there a way to demand change, with other dedicated Americans, without having to organize in some club like setting? Can we unite behind an ideology? Can we unite behind a call for action & revolutionary changes in the system? The professional politician, moneyed elite, party politics, monopoly on American politics is bringing us to ruin. The insiders will not change things, as this is their golden goose. But it is corrupt, & stinks to high heaven. Can we collectively not only express our disgust, but go hands on & demand change? Can we not lay hands on these scoundrels & depose them? Obama should be impeached, & the congress disbanded. They have NO credibility, & NO response to the people's wishes. They are corrupt, & live in a corrupt system. Reform is the only option, & it will need an outside power to do it. How can 'we the people' be this force?

This is a logistical problem.. i see the problem.. & the solution. Now, how do we get there?

I'm ready to strap on my 44, sling a rifle over my shoulder, & roust the rascals out. But somehow i don't think that would work. The DC cops would look at me like I'm from mars, which from their perspective, i am. The concept of American liberty is as foreign to the DC statists as the martian language.

So it seems like individualists & independent thinkers are outside the window of influence.. watching everyone else inside having a good time & getting their agenda done. The collectivists are very good at building coalitions of influence, & promoting their ideals. Individualists are not. Oh, we'll charge across the field, with the reins in out teeth, blasting away at the evildoers, but we end up on the ground, with our dead horse laying on top of us, unable to move.. dependent on some stupid Texan to save us.

Individualism is for the movies. If liberty loving Americans do not unite behind a very simple, focused ideal, we will lose it all to the collective left.

1M of us, six guns at our side, would provide a more impressive image to the statists. They could not dismiss or ridicule a large contingent of freedom fighters, demanding a return to constitutional law.. especially if we had a few tanks, & some trained military forces standing with us.

Where is your oath, US servicemen? You swore to protect & defend the CONSTITUTION, from ALL foes, foreign & domestic. Where are the state militias? We need to get a major force, that cannot be ignored (or faced, tactically), to demand reform, & return us to the constitution.

I think the common man is ready to wake up. The obamacare fiasco is a wake up call for a lot of Americans, in spite of the constant propaganda from the Dems. The lines are more clear, now. With the tsa, the IRS, Benghazi, illegal wars, & a host of other unconstitutional overreaches, the time is ripe for a SMALL but vocal minority to make a difference. They are always the ones to do it, not the masses. The mob brings destruction & anarchy. Dedicated thinkers bring freedom.

All we need is a handful of these visionaries. The dependents are lazy & deluded, like progressive pets. But they can catch the vision of America, & many already have. We can offer dignity, self respect, & opportunity.. something the big govt statists know nothing of. We can become a nation dedicated to liberty, justice, & truth. A handful of dreamers, who are dedicated to the proposition of a govt of, by, & for the people can do great things.

Color has nothing to do with it. Neither does age. True America has no creed, race, or religion. Liberty is the standard. For once in history, it is not a hollow term to delude the people to die for some despot.

I remember when American freedom was valued.. it was taught in school as something to treasure. Media moguls celebrated it. Hard hat construction workers were proud to be building America. This vision of pride of our country is nearly gone. But there is a spark of life, & as long as the constitution itself is not completely dead, it can be revived. But this is not something the govt will mandate, or even wants. American liberty is a threat to govt statism. But an indignant, radical group of constitutional Americans can change things.. i am convinced of that. Public support will be great for a selfless cause like this, & it not easily hijacked by bureaucrats or scammers looking for a quick buck. There is nothing to join. There are no dues. If you are here, you are already a potential American freedom fighter.

I think we will see a backlash from young people, toward the progressive ideology.. they see a life of slavery & statist domination, not opportunity. Many of them will remember their parents or grandparents stories of freedom, prosperity, & opportunity. They will want it back, & will reject the propaganda of the progressive left & their socialist utopia. It may be small.. we do not need a huge mass of humanity, but a determined core.


We need a radicalization of Americans.. or at least it will SEEM radical, to the statists & their propagandists. But honesty, clear goals, & common sense can prevail over state sponsored propaganda.
