Wheaton Hosts Revolution School, by George Kocan

Conservatives in western DuPage Co. had the exceptional
opportunity to learn how to execute their own revolution. Last Saturday
afternoon, March 15, they came out to the Wheaton Community Center for
the "R3volution Leadership School," where they heard activists John
Tilman and Bruno Behrend speak.

Tilman, who calls himself a "conservitarian," provided an
analysis of the politics and the media in Illinois. He pointed out that
the politicians often change their views after election because the Left
has the resources to exert enormous pressure for their favorite issues.
Conservatives have not been able to exert such pressure at the same
level.

Behrend came up with a different kind of analysis. He has
concluded that the Republicans have become so corrupt in selling out to
the Democrats, that serious discussion of a third party is in order. He
also advocates a constitutional convention for Illinois as a remedy for
the problem.

Behrend has devoloped his own methods for putting pressure on
the elected officials. He has his own blog, www.ExtremeWisdom.com and
his own radio program by the same name on WKRS (1220 AM), 10am to 12am,
Mon. - Fri.

Most of the attendees appeared quite young to this reporter
(although that is not so hard to do anymore). That means the future is
not as bleak as the pessimists like to predict.
