16. Why? Because I care enough to tell you to fight?
it surely would be easier to take the money and run.

19. Why didn't you put that in your OP?
Your OP read like walking into the middle of a movie with a complex story.

Surely you are able to write more than what you originally did?

I know- and it is like that.

This deal about fighting back though- it's important.

3. You could at least explain how.
I might even agree. But as is, this is just indulgent, superior wankery. :P

5. Oh, okay.
You have spoken, so I guess I'll just take my marbles and go home.

All is lost.

All is doomed.

Woe is me.

One shouldn't have to interpret a call to arms from gibberish into English, esp. if one wants that call to arms to be answered.

21. Fail.
It wasn't, as most responders to your OP have said.

Sometimes, you have to put a little more effort into saying what you want to say.

31. That's twice now
If we are "you all's", then who are you?

If it's not "your fail", one can only assume you carry water for the other side. Give an honest non-cryptic answer, and we'll bid you adieu.

34. Here's a call to arms:
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'


The OP, not so much.

Your short, non-explanatory post just looks like something a right-winger would write.

You got something more, then say it.

10. You wouldn't want to try again more coherently, would you?
A few more words, a bit more grammar would go a long way towards me understanding what the flying fuck on a stick you're talking about.

Meanwhile, am I to gather you are actually a Conservative? Is that what the other poster meant by sock puppet?

It STILL makes 4 times more sense than this poorly worded, annoyingly cryptic OP.

43. IMO the OP is the discussion board equivalent of projectile vomit.
And with projectile vomit, you don't try to explain it, you just get out of the way and clean it up later.

29. are you talking about the astroturfed town halls, and how the freeper brownshirts
are actually outnumbering the "regular folk"/Dems?

By that measure, yeah, we're getting our asses kicked.

30. This OP was very...simplified.
I think fighting for reform and sitting back and whining about it are two different things. Dems need support at the town halls, they need pressure put on blue dogs. Whining on a message board that we are getting our asses kicked is not very productive.

of "oops this might not be working" labels you as a troll. Of course I think we might be getting our asses kicked on healthcare. From many sides.

35. I don't agree with that
That isn't the reason the OP now looks suspicious. It's the implication from him that he's not one of us. He didn't say "we're" getting our asses kicked, he excluded himself from that equation.

And I also think we're getting our asses kicked on healthcare. The more I listen to the misinformation campaign, the more I wish the Dems in Congress would just scrap the watered down, compromised crap, and send them a big fuck you, we gave you a chance and push something worthy of being called reform through.

maybe he is an Independent, maybe it was a mis speak. I agree with you on every thing else you said.

at the top and he doesn't deny it. Curious.
