My Statement
Democrats, this is what your recent nominee for the Texas Supreme Court has
to say in response to a lot of caterwaling that has been going on in the
email lists and in the national media.
I implore you all to wake up and realize that the theocratists now control
every branch of the national government and that their plans are much worse
than anything we envisioned 4 years ago. They are serious and ruthless about
it. We cannot beat them by trying to appease them, placate them, or reason
with them. To them all such attempts by us simply prove to them that we
still under-estimate them and that we are still therefore weak and easily
rolled under. We must be a resistance party, nothing less. A fierce
give-no-quarter resistance party. Anything less betrays the millions of
Americans who are feeling a new cold chill run up their spines today.
Tell me one way, one single way, that the Bush regime has done anything to
sincerely compromise or seek common ground with us over the last 4 years and
I will tell you that you are blind and deaf because there is no such
example. It is just going to be worse now. In fact Bush and Cheney are both
now proclaiming a mandate. C'mon folks, you cannot be bipartisan with a
rattlesnake. C'mon folks, you cannot expect compromise unless you are
demanding it from a position of strength. And we are not in a position of
strength because they own every branch of the federal government and they
intend to use their control to seek their way or the highway. We have got to
embrace a resistance strategy. Meaning, that we fiercely oppose everything
they want to do and use every possible maneuver and tactic to slow them down
and cost them as much time and grief as possible. That is what the R's did
to Bill Clinton, and look where they are now and where we are now.
We don't have the luxury of any "we're better than them" namby-pamby
foolishness - they are out to gut the Constitution, folks! Wake up and smell
the roses! Are we going to resist and fight them over their plan to destroy
the dreams of 1776 and 1787 and 1865, or are we going to go quietly into the
night with the smug satisfaction that "we are better people than them" while
the Constitution dies after a too-short 217-year life span? It has got to be
partisan guerilla war now, folks. We didn't choose this, but it is thrust
upon us now, and no amount of wishful thinking about being able to placate
them with gracious concession speeches is going to change things.
