Cannot The American People Be As Brave As Their Young Soldiers?

[The Whiskey Priest]

Or, must we continue to be the craven cowards that willingly submit to destroying the very government that the young fight and die for on those distant shores? Are we lacking of any courage so that we submit to a dictator to save us as we cower under our beds? When did we become so fearful and afraid that we are willing to set aside all dreams of a better world?

Why do we continue to listen to those who reinforce the fear? It is time that we came out of our holes and once again stand in the light of liberty, before that light is forever extinguished.

3. our representatives are enabling the tyranny by their inaction

they have the tools.

they lack the courage because they are loath to inherit Bush's massive failures.

they would rather we die for their contrived notions of freedom and democracy they are so intent on imposing on the world with our military.

5. You said it: OUR Representatives..We are duty-bound

to light a fire under the feet of our Representatives if we are displeased with the government's actions.
These Representatives are our employees and it is the EMPLOYER who is ultimately responsible for the poor job performance.

If you have a bitch, PARTICIPATE! march, stand on a street corner with a protest sign, write a letter to your local newspapeers editors, write and call your elected congresspersons.

2006 is the year we hold these legislative cowards accountable for their lack of backbone.

Talk is cheap my friend, action will drive this poser-president out of office.

6. Throwing away our freedom and democracy with both hands at home.

Our country shames our forefathers. War dead, civil rights protesters, suffragettes should arise and give us all a slap on the head for thrwoing away the world they won for us.
