I’ve scrolled down to write this comment, so I may have missed some useful thoughts above.

1. Someone made a good case for the Tea Parties. I second this idea. The nice thing about the Tea Parties is that it is a leaderless community that is uncompromising. It is an Alinsky-type movement, and thus will be impossible to ignore. What is needed right now is enormous pushback against the congressional and czar plans to destroy our nation. We all have our various methods of defending America, including writing, organizing, voting, and running for office. The Tea Parties can continue to mimic the Uprising of the Proletariat that the left so loved to sing about. Alinsky methods can work for normal Americans as well as for the leftists.

2. Wretchard, your website is invaluable for all the reasons listed above. As a non-American, you have amazing insight into our national affairs. I can’t think of any other writer who has such insight. If you get tired or discouraged, please take a rest and then come back to us. Dr. Sanity took several rests, and then she came back even more brilliant then she already was. We need your writings, but it doesn’t have to be every day. Just know that you are appreciated.
