Going To Menards; Looking For Barricade Parts
By Mitch Berg
Like most conservatives, there are few things in the world I like less than standing around, marching or chanting. Oh, I do like being out in the fresh air with a group of good people that have goals similar to mine in mind – but leaving aside the fact that it seems so group-think-y, hippy-ish and downright liberal, it’s pretty much inevitable that there’ll be something better to do, somewhere in the world, than that.
But I, myself, am getting a little exercised about the Star/Tribune’s ongoing propaganda exercise (AKA “the Minnesota Poll”). And I’m more than a little tempted to grab an afternoon next week and see if we can’t get some people more or less like us out in front of 425 Portland to try to let them know that not everyone out there is a querulous low-information lemming.
Just saying.
Tempted.
Very, very tempted.

You want us to march on the Ministry of Minnesota Misinformation?

That would be the MN GOP.

Big: Yes.

“Dog Gone”,
OK, you short-winded, pithy (if still groaningly wrong) person; what have you done with Dog Gone?

It might work if you could get a competitor legacy media to cover the event; otherwise, they’d never acknowledge it even occured. Plus, depending on how they frame the shots, it might look a pathetically small crowd.
On the other hand, why go to 425 Portland? Why not have it someplace nice, and claim we were worried about rain?

Mitch: I think you might want to look at statues. I believe conservatives are not allowed within 1000 feet of 425 Portland.

This could backfire. It might make folks at the Red Star think they aren’t dwindling into well deserved irrelevancy after all. The comrades inside will interpret it as oppression, and libs feed on that notion. It’s their Miracle-Gro.

I don’t agree with the sentiment, but I do love brevity and clarity of the language, Dog Gone. Bravo.
