THANK YOU DU!!!

For every silly battle I get in with a rightie (we flipped another last night...or, rather, she was a silent liberal, but a bit more OUT in red state Louisiana because of this weekend's battle)

Every day, bit by bit, progressives are calling "foul" or in my case "bullshit" although sometimes I use "horseshit", to the PILLARS of their foundation.

They're wrong on the war

They're wrong on social security

THEY'RE WRONG ON &$%&*(!!&*# TAXES

And every time one of us rises up and calls them on it, risking ridicule and sometimes worse, we show them for what they are. Every time one of us stands up to their bullying (and we've endured their bullying for YEARS) we embolden someone else to do it too.

Well, my latest "flip" is someone stronger. Someone empowered to stand up to them because of what folks did here.

THANK YOU DU, from the bottom of my heart
