July 18-19: join the amnesty protests
On July 18th and 19th a host of amnesty protests are planned across a wide section of the country. If you want to join the demonstrations, see this for a list of where they will be hold.
Unlike leftists, conservatives haven’t usually tended to participate in protests. The Tea Party was unusual in that respect, especially when the movement first began, and it scared the left. A populist conservative movement was a big threat, that that’s why there was a concerted effort to demonize the Tea Party as racists—and ultimately to squash the group through the mechanism of the IRS.
I have little doubt that demonstrations against amnesty will also be characterized by the left as racist, but I’m not so sure that ploy will work. Most Americans are very unhappy with the huge flood of illegal immigrants crossing the border and getting all sorts of services, and the public doesn’t seem to buy the line that we must allow them to stay. The real question is whether the Obama administration and the Democrats care what most Americans think. Whether or not their pro-amnesty position will hurt them in the short run, they seem to be convinced it will help them greatly in the long run, so they are willing to risk temporary disapproval from the majority of voters.
Thanks for posting the link. I already saw it on another site, and will try to attend (I have to work both days).
Now I just have to think up a brief, witty slogan for my sign.
The left has all these imaginary mental disorders such as racism, sexism, classism, nativism and they accuse their opponents of having these imaginary mental disorders. It’s just projection. I was listening to the radio this morning and found out that if you want to stop the influx of illegal aliens you hate children and are a nativist and xenophobe. Who is this Zeno that I’m supposed to fear?
The closest to me is in Moline and I’m going. I’m going to make a sign that read XENOPHOBIA BEFORE ITS TOO LATE! (Just kidding… sort of.)
Thanks for the alert.
In my town the demo will be right on the edge of the black area. Muy interesting as a coming-together. Blacks have never taken the slightest in our local Tea Party effort.
Protests! Not nearly enough — walk-abouts with signs and “we’re pissed and dissed” speeches.
National strike! Torment the tormentors; distress the zeitgeist; chaos for chaos, tumult for tumult. Anything less suggests we’re not seriously in for a fight – only that we wish someone notice of our angst.
The best protests are staged near the Left’s leadership, inside or outside their houses, constantly barraging them with fear, paranoia, noise, and what the US Army did to the terrorists 24/7 in Fallujah in the siege.
Keep them on their toes.
Originally, that’s what the Left’s paid for protest organization was for. It was impossible to bus in millions, so they inflated their numbers, but the original goal was more effective in that they would bus the people directly to the living spaces of their targets. In that sense, 10 people outside your house matters more than a 100,000 nobody reported being in the park.
Btw, if you are out protesting, and you see a drone flying in the air, take over in a concrete building.
You never know.
I’m going to one here in San Antonio tomorrow, although more to document than participate. It’ll be a laugh if it is huge, and the local newspaper and TV channels ignore it. My daughter us adverse to very crowded places, and situations which could get ugly.
The local tea party put out the word, so I do believe there will be a huge overlap. And yes, Ymarsaker, we’ll keep an eye out for drones…
Sgt Mom, I refined a technique I used on a few feral packs of dogs, to keep them away from my territory without making them into hotdogs with my sharp sword. It was a sonic scream. Eventually I got it to the point where it began reverberating off the walls of houses 3 down, like those loud bass speakers on the cars that pass by that emit sound directly through the ground.
I predict it will scare the sh out of people, and give you some space.
Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s easy to use without a basic control of breath and a Level 1 control of adrenaline. Since it requires air to be stored in the lower lungs, like a singer, and then forcibly expelled, using the extra oxygen from the exhale to power the throat vocals.
But sound is a great way to keep crowds away from you. It can help keep that “crowding” anxiety at bay. And flash rioting mobs. Got to love those.
In these days, where if you punch people that are using verbal violence against you, you get sued, having a sonic attack can be very effective, when its range is greater than pepper spray even.
Also I remember hearing a Tea Party or “Impeach O” group being around where I am, and the news reported that some guy drove up to them and pulled out a gun to threaten them. Then the group started asking for people with concealed carry to join in, that was now allowed. That was a few years ago.
Those Democrats, they are a piece of work. Unfortunately, I only control the area where I am physically in and can see. Other people going to have to deal with their own territory.
Ymarsakar,
Ki-ai, even from a grand master does not work on me. I just keep on a coming. Been there, heard that, and smirked. No one I have met in the past 30 years can touch me and a lot have tried… here, Japan, and in Europe. Age, if one has the training and is unified ( ki-shin- tai), brings the understanding that timing, suppleness, and ingrained technique are victorious over strenght and speed.

I am planning on attending the one in Arlington, TX with my American flag. Game on!!

The Ki ai technique as the Japanese term it, is flawed in the way it is transmitted and taught, like many things in Japan or America vs martial arts.
So unless I can verify the user, I assume it’s fake or flawed engineering.
Most kiai are utilized from the vocal cords forward, like some types of singing or high note pitching.

Minor translation from me would be Energy/Spirit, Belief/Spirit, and Body together as one.
I don’t disagree with that concept, but everything in martial arts I test using various experiments. So people can take what I’ve described here and experiment on their own dogs or feral packs, and their methodology would be similar.
But there’s no way for me to reproduce the experiment where someone says “my own experience with so and so, says this”. I can’t very well transport you or the so and sos you’ve seen in 30 years over, and experiment on them, after all.
So unless people present verifiable variables and hypothesis I can test, I don’t verify them and thus I don’t use or rely on them.
Even in the internal arts that I prefer over external power, speed, size, I still use the Western scientific methodology. The real science, not the Global Warming cult’s version.
