After Bill's PATCOM success, it seems that the boys in the South are spreading this idea like wildfire. Now Craig is hosting one, and there are whispers of several more across the south.
It's even led to a new site opening, with more possibly to follow.
As Bill and Craig have said, divide and conquer is the FedGov tactic of choice. I saw it in Fairbanks, in an ongoing case that gets more complex and twisted daily.
Grassroots and organic, again to quote Bill, is how we're going to build community. Three, four, twenty patriots at a time, getting together and staring one another in the eye. That's how things are going to get done. That's how communities and teams are built.
That is where bonds are forged that will hold up at 3 AM when you need help.
That's what counts, folks.
The boys in Texas are setting the standard. Let's see if we can live up to it all across the country.
I will try to get something together here in northern CONUS when things are more...stable in my personal situation, having just relocated.
Outstanding work, Bill, Craig, Dio, Pickdog, and everyone else who got together.
You're doing something, and for that, my hat is off to all of you.
Resist.
Speaking of TX, anybody talked to these folk:

Thanks for the kudos AP, but it is a labor of love!

Thanks AP. It's got to start on the local level, and meeting eye to eye is far more powerful than any keyboard pounding. We've got to stand together, or divided we'll fall.
ReplyDeleteThanks for helping get my blog out.

Be VERY careful people. Ask Vandenburg how it went in Oklahoma 20 years or so ago. I suggest concentric rings of contacts. Your smallest, tightest ring should be just that. Preferably blood linked.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't re-roofed a house together, spent a weekend freezing your duff off deer hunting together or some similarly harsh and unforgiving endurance test against the elements, you need to ask yourself "what is this guy really made of". That's a pretty weak litmus test to go by, but short of The Real Deal I can't think of a better one.
Good points, LFMayor.
ReplyDeleteGood points.
