I'm not afraid of right-wing cowards with their sad masculinity issues.

[Lyric]

But I *am* pissed. Maybe less fear and more anger are what we need right now. Fear makes people want to stay home, under cover. But anger? Anger gets people to the polls in DROVES.

No more stupid bigots in our Congress! No more corporate whores. No more pretend "conservatives" who only care about conserving their own wealth and power.

Don't be scared. Be OUTRAGED.

1. Excellent post IMO!!! I'm also pissed off at the mockery they have made

of this country. We have become an embarrassment and comic fodder for the rest of the world.

3. Yes! Almost worse than Bush!

I haven't read what other countries are saying about us... you?

6. I've read some European postings and editorials that were far from complementary. The general

notion I've gotten is we're seen as a declining empire and in a tizzy as to the next step. The teabaggers really don't represent a way forward, except farther off the cliff. They are not really seen as a stabilizing force. If you Google around a bit you'll find similar...

10. Nails it..

A declining empire aware of its own death but rather than trying to move on positively, as a lesser, more healthy normal and global equal, clinging and fretting over its anachronistic self-image as a miltary superpower. Death throes. Wake me when its over...

2. I can't be afraid of something that pathetic.

Fuck them.

[Lyric]

4. Hell yes!

And they ARE pathetic. They're playground bullies and COWARDS, and they go belly-up the moment they're faced with any kind of real challenge. Like I'm going to be "scared" of some sad, small little people who aren't even smart enough or brave enough to form their own opinions. The Beckistan zombies don't scare me. Bring it the fuck on.

:toast:

5. I'm not afraid either

and have shared some choice words with more than a couple of them. they're assholes. assholes are notable for their lack of substance. literally.

if one of them tried to physically harm me, I would fight back. I know this because that's exactly what I did when I was mugged. I aimed for the balls.

7. Anger is good, but spite...spite bills with the Gods.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

8. No More BS.

9. I'm not going to be scared

after I buy some guns and stock up on some ammo. I'll need to take gun classes because I've never held a gun but, if the wing nuts go over the edge and want to exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights I want to be armed with more than a rolling pin.

[Rhythm]

15. I used to be a gun owner, and am thinking about being one again... and i'm a damned good shot

Let them be forewarned that their "2nd amendment solution" threats go both ways.

There's a certain oath that they wouldn't let my queer-ass take in '85, one about defending the Constitution against enemies 'both foreign and domestic,' that i think applies to anyone who would suggest that if their candidates/agenda doesn't win at the ballot-box, then they may resort to violence.

[Rhythm]

11. I've got news for these pathetic schoolyard bullies...

[hfojvt]

12. Seems to me that anger does other things too

Anger also might motivate a few people to wrestle another person to the ground and to hold that person there with your foot and then give a good shove to that person who pissed you off - just for good measure.

Further, anger seems likely to create even more anger. If I start yelling and pushing people, it's likely to make them angry too.

13. you said it!
