I Refuse to Be Scared or Intimidated

[leftyladyfrommo]

I'm just too old for that shit.

This is my country, too. And I refuse to let loose of it.

And, trust me, I am not alone. There are tons and tons of us out here.

I will not be intimidated.

I will not be frightened.

I will not lose hope.

scream

"I'm Mad As Hell and I Will Not Let This Continue"

5. Welcome to DU, leftyladyfrommo!

Have only caught three or four of your posts and like you lots already! :hi:

Yep, there are LOTS of us who are not impressed, not fearful, and NOT giving up.

DU will be better for your joining us all here. We keep posting, lurkers keep reading, and we keep managing to lead many to sources of truth. Glad to have you aboard.

To fearless dissent! :toast:

7. My mouth may get me killed.

I am just so tired of not saying what I believe out loud - because of what others might think or of how they might respond.

Not voicing our opinions openly has become a cultural thing. And not a good one, either.

8. Welcome to DU!

I'm with you.
I got tired last year of not voicing my opinions. Finally when I had enough I started saying what I thought. That's when I discovered that there are many many others 'out there' that thought exactly the same as I.
We ARE out there and we are mad!

You got that right! The old adage about what happens when good men (and women) do nothing is a truth the neocons rely on.

As you voice your view more, you will likely notice it encourages others to do the same. The neocon control over media for 20+ years has set the stage for Americans who don't think like Cheney to assume they are a tiny minority. So they shut up and the illusion grows.

Once we started making noise, more people came out to join. Look at the poll numbers now, and keep in mind the questions are carefully worded to elicit the results the pollsters want. We are NOT the minority. We are America. And we are mad as hell!

No more lies. No more abuse. No more tyrants wearing the flag and holding the cross for cover!
