"Coalition of the Wild-Eyed"
You know, the RNC has been giving me all kinds of inspiration this week.

wild-eyed".

3. the only problem with that is

those guys actually were a "coalition."

When team Bush uses that word, it generally denotes either one entity, or a hallucination.

4. about name calling
purpose of name calling is to dismiss someone as being an equal and/or call their credibility into question.

shortly after bush* was annointed, those of us that were upset over the selection were referred to as the fringe element, and as the radical fringe. This marginalized our opinions and credibility. we were something/someone who didn't deserve to be heard.

when people began protesting impending the Iraq Invasion - we were called traitors and labeled as unpatriotic

bush* has had a long history of labeling people who oppose him -- and these labels dismiss us as someone to be taken seriously

so once again - those who oppose bush* by supporting Kerry have been labeled and marginalized.

It's time to embrace the "names", wear it proud and shout it out load. Only by claiming the names as our own will it's power to silence us be diminished.

with that in mind -- I designed a t-shirt.

ROARING LOUD! Wild-Eyed and Proud!
