Tepid Support: Patriot Won't Seek Office

re. Do You Still believe in the Electoral Process?
Greetings Mr. Makow,
I'm sad to inform you of the 20,000 readers on your site, only about 100 found my site worth clicking on. Of those, only a couple dozen thought it worth clicking on other pages to see what was on the site. Of those couple dozen, less than half thought it worth donating money for the cause. Needless to say, I will not be filing tomorrow to get on the ballot in Oklahoma.
I must admit, I am appalled at the apathy and lack of faith in the citizenry, not only regarding this site, but of the many other sites, including facebook and various "patriot" sites. Hundreds of thousands of people seem more interested in "joining" blog groups to complain, and might even help out with various "tea party" groups, yet they don't seem too interested in getting their hands dirty with "taking down the shadow government" like they all want someone to do for them.
Hmmmm. What is to come? Ahhh. I know what is to come.....the mark of the beast is soon coming. That, I can guarantee.
I wager to say that the enemy sees our apathy and unwillingness to challenge them. I have heard and read that they already sped things up via Obama. I believe that they will put it in 3rd gear soon and really speed things up, now that they see folks are more interested in watching and complaining than actually fighting and addressing the real issues.
I fear for America and the world. America is/was the last stand for Liberty. Many "patriots" are crying about the overbearing Obama laws being passed, yet still want to put their trust in the RINO Globalists to "save the day" in 2012.
Soon, the "powers that be" will start applying pressure upon the "tea party" people via harder economic problems that will drain them of their resources and willingness to do more. As the opposition dwindles with the "successes" in certain elections and more economic worries, and eventually war, they will come down even harder on the populace which will cower as a whole. There will be opposition in places, but for the most part, America has become the new Austria. Pullman, Illinois has become Pullman, USA.
I hope you will consider mentioning my book, www.jeffpritchardbooks.com, and help it "go viral" as they say. If the Lord tarrys and America survives to 2012, maybe I will be able run in 2012 and finance my campaign without asking for donations. God willing.
Thank you again for allowing me a podium on your site. You have done much more than most in blogoland. Few really dare to even talk about the truth anymore. Fewer dare to actually do anything about it.
God bless you and may His mercy be upon America.
Sincerely,
Jeff Pritchard
Dear Jeff,
The essence of the problem is money. The bankers have it. The people don't. People would sign a petition which would get you public financing, but of course the bankers couldn't allow that. So as taxpayers, we pay for needless wars but we can't afford democracy. Thanks for trying.

I think that the tepid response could in part be due to a growing maturity of concerned people who realize that the whole basis of "Patriotism" in the ancient American sense was based on a type of Protestant anti-reconciliation and self-justification where its love of "freedom" implied granting token freedoms to a selected handful in the world who could contribute to its *weltanschauung* but which deprived the vast majority of peoples elsewhere on the planet of communion and development in terms of solving their own problems and having access to other cultures and interactions. If this is the case, than I feel it is a step forward in the maturation process of "Americans" that will lead to greater stability and hope for the majority.
