The Moneyed Interests, Tea Party Racists, Psychotic Cops, Anti-Knowledge Zealots

Are we just going to cede the country to these people? Or are we going to resist? Are we going to delude ourselves, thinking these bastards can be reasoned with? Or are we going to face the rapidly-manifesting reality?

My house is completely paid off. I am NOT going to allow some slimy-assed banker to illegally forclose on it. I am NOT going to allow some Bagger nitwit to dictate to my daughter the skin color of the man she can marry. I am NOT going to allow some pecil-dicked cop to compensate for his erectile dysfunction by killing my son. Hey, we're white, but that won't protect us from Gestapo tactics if things keep sliding. And I sure as fuck am NOT going to allow some Bible-thumping Luddite to force their fear and their fairy tales down my throat!

"They wanna fight, and sometimes you've got to," sang Tina Turner.

We have to defend ourselves, our families, and they progress we've made, as well as the hope of future progress.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going to purchase some guns for Christmas 2014, which is looking increasingly like 1774.

I'm agnostic, but the uppermost question in my mind right now is, "How in God's Name did it come to this?"

And start liking guns. Pitchforks and torches don't cut it anymore. Radical liberals in the 60's who could teach a lot of liberals what it means to be liberal, had guns. They studied Che and they watched what Castro did. Sometimes pacifism isn't good enough.
