We must take radical action NOW! -- Okay. You start. -- No you first. -- No you!...

So...
WHO?

Not me.
Not you.
Who?

All I see is all of us complaining, writing each other, having angry meetings and arranging silly little protests that affect nothing. Nothing substantial is being done by anyone.

Face it. All any of us will do is sit here and bitch to each other about how "Something radical has to be done NOW." and then do nothing radical.

And this is how it must be.

Until our government actually fulfills it's destiny of becoming a full fledged police state and has had enough time to totally eliminate our freedoms will "something radical" begin to take hold. All this trampling of the Constitution hasn't, yet, materially affected many people's lives.

Comfortable people don't put their lives on the line for a looming danger. It's only when their lives stop becoming comfortable that they will consider losing it for a belief.

And remember that we have not passed the point of no return yet. There is still a possibility that we get past this dark period into a new administration that is intent on restoring Constitution to full power. Just a possibility, but not impossible.

So we might as well keep bitching and talking about revolution, doesn't hurt I guess, but don't expect any real action until "we the people" have little left to lose.

1. I haven't seen many (any?) ...
Calls for "radical action". I don't even think it would be allowed under DU rules.

2. Actually I work pretty hard to stop this war and make Congress
be held accountable. Weekly peace vigils, articles in local publications, log calls to Representatives who refuse to represent, maintain a memorial to the soldiers in our front yard, travel to DC to be counted on the steps of the Capitol. That is about as radical as I can get right now considering that I have a job and a family. You might be surprised what some of us do out here. Peace, Kim

3. Ironically, I spend most of my energy at DU defending the Democratic record.

Anyone who wants to take a break from beating up on our own party is invited to join me. It's not very hard. Just stop repeating crap you hear on the mainstream media, which is dedicated to demoralizing and destroying the left. Go to the reliable liberal blogs, find out what's going on, and report it here.

4. Dunno 'bout you, but I've been busy for years
You think Hillary is an overnight sensation? Some of us started years ago to build her consensus bona fides.

Please, list what you're doing to help ... it can only inspire others. But don't blame me for your inertia - I know how hard it is to get out of a comfort zone.

The first step is to focus on a goal and devise a strategy to achieve it. If you gain followers, you're a leader. And if you're not a leader, don't be afraid to follow. In either case, action is the solution.

5. I have been working on election Integrity since 2000
It may not look radical, but Election Fraud is the root cause of the current situation. Restore our elections and we restore America.
