Call me a "Lone Wolf" Democrat
I'm not issue driven... I'm HOLISTICALLY driven.

It ain't ONE thing, it's EVERY thing.

It's the War, Abu Graib, Gitmo, and rendition.

It's global warming, alternative energy, and fuel cells.

It's the Drug War, the Patriot Act, and the sequel, Patriot Act II.

It's campaign finance reform, run-off voting, and election fraud.

It's abuse of power, abuse of authority, and abuse of children.

It's about being both bold AND smart.

It's about knowing the truth, telling the truth, and defending the truth. Even if it hurts.

It's about defending yourself when someone punches you in the eye, spits in your face, and calls your mother a whore. Hey, man, if you're looking for a fight, at that point, you've damn well got one.

I don't want your guns. I've got some of my own.

Truman said "The Buck Stops here." Bush says "The Buck Stops Somewhere Else..." For me, that dog don't hunt.

It's about watching a historical American city practically wiped off the map and watching the administration with one thumb up its ass and another in its mouth waiting for some numb-nuts to yell "switch!"

Gays want to get married? Great. They can suffer with the rest of us. ;)

I don't want your god. I've got my own. Keep yours on a leash and don't let him pee on my tires and we'll call it good.

I'll agree that a corporation's a person when I can whoop its ass. Until then, tell it to sit down and shut up. When I want to hear it yowl I'll yank its chain.

I'll damn well elect a man or woman, white, black, straight, gay, or other, to public office. But he or she damn well better do what it takes to represent me and mine. Or he or she can head right on back home again.

To be a cowboy, you can't be afraid of a horse. It's never good when you're dumber than a horse too.

I don't drink with assholes who think rolling up your sleeves means you're a workin' man.

Don't kick my dog, lie to my face, call my mama a whore, or talk shit about a real American hero. Doing any of those things will land you on your ass.

I'll vote my conscience. You vote yours. If you've got one.

1. That's the term used for people like Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph.
Killers who are riled up by agitators who then disclaim that they had anything to do with the murders committed by the "Lone Wolf".

Seriously.

2. That's a usage dictated by people who don't know anything about wolves.
And they can shut up too.

A "lone wolf" is one who hasn't found a pack yet...too strong to be a follower, but not ready to be a leader yet.
