Why should we dirty ourselves? Protest and uppity confrontation is too messy. Liberals are elite, advanced, modern, sophisticated, empathetic, compassionate, beyond reproach. Let Obama handle all that.


NOT!

Let the spirit of the Irish guide our angst.

1. When I despair ......................
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
Mahatma Gandhi
Indian political and spiritual leader (1869 - 1948)

3. I'm getting a little tired of Ghandi in lotus position too. Prefer his whacked in the head pose.

Jesus in his beating moneychanger ass pose.

MLK in his channeling Malcolm X pose.

2. The whole above the fray and include everyone thing makes me puke.
I think it is a just a sneaky way of maintaining the status quo while pretending to oppose it.

7. The people need to directly confront the wall streeters. They are....
the ones funding the destruction of our country. The need to feel uncomfortable as hell just leaving their homes.

8. When they
take over Fox... THEN I'll have hope of change. It would be nice to have an opposition party to push back on corporatism too. And the Wall Street banksters, and... ad infinitum (we're in a bit of trouble).
