STOP bickering and get to work!


Ron Paul supporters selfishly bicker among themselves putting off any real effort to carry the momentum forward.

I have this picture in my mind of our once great nation slowly burning to the ground. Closest to the fire are the fascists and Socialist roasting marshmallows feeling victorious at ending the great experiment called liberty.

Behind them are the Republicans and Democrats who sense something is wrong and take turns blaming the other side. They think the solution would be as simple as the results of the upcoming elections.

Next is a large willfully ignorant mass that acts more like a herd of animals then free men and women. They too know something is wrong, but it hurts too much to think about it, so they stick their collective heads in the sand and hope it works itself out.

At the very fringes of this picture are people who see the fire. Some arm themselves with sand, some with a garden hose, and others try to form a bucket brigade. Then to my amazment, instead of trying to put out the fire, they all stand still while they criticize the other would be fire fighters and their methods of combating the flames.

If you truly believe in freedom and personal accountability, then you know each is responsible for his or her own choices. Let us each take our own solutions and get to work. If we report our failures and successes with honesty the best method will eventually gain the most support. If it helps, think of the movement in market terms, and trust efficiency to win the day.

I understand human nature and ego, but our numbers are far too few to waste effort arguing methodology with each other. All of our energy is required to win the battle before us. Consider the stakes and understand that winning is more important then being right.

For freedom's sake do something, and have the fortitude to wish your fellow patriots well in their endeavors. Continue to think outside conventional thinking, some ideas will work, a lot more will not. We can learn from all of them as long as we keep the goal of protecting our republic ahead of who will get credit for the win or the blame for the loss.

I thank each of you in advance for your support.

If everyone does help defeat Real ID then it isn't going to be defeated.

Great ideas in this article! I had some similar thoughts in a recent article. And there have been some other articles recently that touch on this topic. It is good to see more people thinking this way.
