Never let up. Keep pushing.

[Bouncy Ball]

Push if you think you winning. Push if you think you are losing. Act like you are winning. If you have examined the issues and truly feel you are right and on the side of truth, then push, dammit. Isn't truth worth pushing for? Isn't justice worth pushing for? Hell yes it is.

No taking breaks, no going soft. No letting up because things look good.

Keep pushing. I can't stand it in movies when the really evil killer is wounded by the good guy, seriously wounded, but the good guy just figures that's good enough and turns his back.

NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON THEM. Once you get them where you want them, finish them off.

(This is metaphorical--I'm sure all DUers will get this, but some--ahem--who aren't DUers won't because their tiny minds are unable to process figurative concepts).

What I've turned to lately is laughter. It's been a natural progression for me. The bush voters/neocons/religious right are so incredibly ludicrous and now I know for sure they are NOT the majority, that all I can do is laugh. Not laughter as in "oh isn't that funny?" but the laughter of derision, the laughter of "what a deluded fuck you are!" the laughter of "oh my God, you poor thing, I can't believe you actually believe that."

This morning someone said to me that the death penalty should always be around, because it deters crime and makes things safer.

I laughed. I laughed and laughed and laughed. The person got madder and madder and finally I gasped "if that were true, Texas would be the safest place on earth!" I couldn't help it--I started to laugh again at the very thought of it. Not fake laughter, that really cracked my shit up.

It shut him down and stopped his argument cold. Instantly. Because I was right, he was wrong, and I laughed my ass off at him.

Not only that, but the three people who were listening all agreed with me. And my laughter just showed them how ludicrous his argument was.

I'm seeing the whites of some eyes, I'm smelling extreme fear and desperation, which means I'm just going to fight and push all the harder, until we can get back some semblance of fairness, of justice, of truth and of mercy and human compassion in this land of ours.

3. That's right.

Keep it up.

I am going to start printing off those impeach bush grocery lists in shopping carts at the store when I'm done shopping. I need to take this to another level, start doing more.

I already added a new bumper sticker: "I'd give up my tax cut for the life of a fallen soldier."

Got two thumbs up while driving today.

10. I hope somehow a march on Washington for DSM issue to be explained

[Pacifist Patriot]

11. LOL! That's the way to do it!

I had a Republican-leaning neighbor (actually registered Independent but no Democrat) for lunch on Wednesday and when she made some comment about Howard Dean tripping over his tongue I did exactly what you did. I laughed! I laughed loud and I laughed long. And then I explained why I was laughing. Darnit if she didn't have to admit I was right.

Excellent tactic. Keep it up Babe!

Oh, and by the way. This is the ONLY way I can get through Thanksgiving dinner with the extended family.

12. When the Army and NG invaded Cambridge earlier this week,

I was standing on this corner with a few of my friends:


A very well dressed lady came across the street & angrily said "My son is over there fighting for your freedom." She got pissed when I told her "Lady, your son is over there fighting for oil. WE are fighting for your freedom right here."

The lights were on, and nobody was home.

13. What an excellent response. Who knows-the lights may come on someday nt

[byronius]

14. Yes, indeed. Let us leave them behind.
