Do something in 2014; rekindle the spirit of 1776
The descendants of Jefferson's Democratic Republicans are the conservatives and the TEA Party. The descendants of Hamilton's Federalists are the big-government "progressive" establishment Republicans. Today's Democrats are descendants of Karl Marx.
The practical consequence of these roots is that the Democrats seduce the low-information voters with their plans to "do something" ... "for the people." Conservatives promise to exercise only the few enumerated powers. Whatever the Democrats propose, our answer is "no, it's not in the Constitution." After a while we start being boring boring boring...
There have been many calls recently for a letter writing campaign -- write against Common Core; write against voter apathy; write against arrogant politicians who ignore their rank-and-file supporters, etc.
How about a letter writing campaign against Emperor 0bama and his Hessians in Congress under Reid and Pelosi? Is it too much to include “Republican” collaborationists?
0bama's agenda and his rule by fiat gives us the chance to sound exciting simply by rekindling the spirit of 1776 and using against the Democrats the words our Founders used against King George. The obvious parallels make our task much easier.
2014 is an election year. Do your duty. Do your best. Just DO SOMETHING.
