I finally got word from someone that attended one of those. They're conservative circle-jerks. They're Palin rallies without Palin. Even if you could rally enough conservatives, the crap that is said there would only further alienate liberals and whether conservatives like it nor not they absolutely need the liberals if you want to enact change. Right now liberals outnumber conservatives.

February 15, 2003, international protests involving what ended up being millions of people around the world, as many as a million in NYC alone, against the Iraq war received little MSM coverage and didn't change a thing. It was by far the largest protest in history and it was entirely useless.

I've been in more of those than I can count. They've only worked for local issues.

If people storm Washington... whether peacefully or in arms.... government will have no choice but to listen.
If we complain, stay asleep, etc and do nothing then we are as guilty as those fucks in Washington because we know what they are doing is wrong and not representative of the people and we allowed it.
Better to stand and fight for your beliefs and hope someone may hear you and fight beside you for what is right, than to die a complacent coward or an accomplice to scared of losing what little is left him and pass on even worse to your kids and grandkids.

You're not fighting for anything if you're not fighting smart. What are you doing that stands even the faintest chance?
