In business if you do the same things expecting different results, you'll get very frustrated. The same result can be expected in the fight for freedom.With our freedoms eroding year by year, it is time to get out of our comfort zones and let our voice be heard by those who may not have heard it before.
I tend to keep to all that is familiar, don't you? I go to the same restaurants, hang out with the same friends, complain about politics with the same like-minded people. We grumble about the same things and the same politicians. It is ironic that since this has never changed anything that we would keep doing it. I recently read a book titled "Freedom Shift" by Oliver DeMille, in it he calls on us to form a new "freedom tribe" to make America freer. In order for this to happen he says that "many citizens must get past the natural human tendency to isolate ourselves in cocoons of people who agree with us. Freedom only comes when people of differing views work together on the common goal of liberty."
If you have conservative views, find someone who is more liberal leaning and try to find common ground. Everyone wants liberty, we just see different ways of getting there.
A thought on freedom from the chain saw carpenter.
