1. First they tried to ignore and marginalize us (didn't work) ...

...now they're trying ridicule (won't work, they're not very good at it), soon they'll fight us with everything they've got enlisting corporate and Congressional help---and eventually, they'll lose.

3. After their shining beacon of democracy?
Ground Zero for the new Middle East they're birthing? They'll be sorry if they do.

4. As soon as one of 'em reads your post!
