July 28, 2011 — My Fellow Patriots

July 28, 2011

My fellow patriots,

I have mentioned a few times before in this forum and it is  worth repeating. TIME is the most precious resource we have. It is not renewable  and it is inflexible in its spending. Hesitation, inefficiency, red herrings,  etc. are the bane of time well spent.

I try hard not to tell people what to do, but often try to  make suggestions or pointed remarks for consideration. Here is one of the  pointed remarks for consideration: If you don’t stop wasting time, then soon  enough you will be told what to do and you will have few, if any, choices.

IMHO, a few efforts that will help us all are GOTV, and  local and state elective office and oversight. Getting out the vote is no longer  important. IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL. Only about 20% of registered voters do so.  That is 20% of all eligible voters. Somebody help with the math. What is a 1/5  of a 1/5? Is 1/25??? Stop wondering if your neighbor or co-worker or church  members vote. ASK THEM and encourage them to get engaged in the process. If you  think it is uncomfortable or inconvenient to do so, then flash forward a few  years and imagine that an OBAMA and FEDGOV left unchecked. How uncomfortable and  inconvenient will things be then?

To the folks who are advocating the overthrow of our  country and firing all the police and worried about who wasted some money on a  trip and what agency is involved in a conspiracy to secretly fund mushroom  armies — I have one simple question. How does that bullshit help us get to our  goal? Really? Go do something productive like helping people register to vote.  Help them get to the polls. Help at a rally. Help organize a fundraiser for a  good candidate. Help make calls to voting lists about upcoming elections.

To those who have a need to feel important; conspiracy  theories are fun and glorifying salacious incidents certainly will make you  sound big and bad and all knowledgeable. If you get off on hearing yourself talk  about hidden agendas and secret stories of corruption, greed and scandal, then  go do your mental masturbation somewhere else. That crap is a waste of time.

This particular paragraph is devoted to the ones who are in  the group in order to subvert it. Really? Go crawl back under the rock you came  out from under. You can’t face us head on, so you slither around like a snake.  Good job! You are exactly the kind of honest, integrity driven person I want to  call a friend. Go take a flying leap with the group I mention above.

Respectfully,

Robert A. Grier
