On Teabagger Eve, I must post this again- Seek Out the High Ground, for it is What Redeems Us
I'm reposting from an earlier thread, but I really want people to know and remember this:



In this battle- this war that we basically have to admit as such- we must seek out and lay claim to the high ground. Whether it be, ideologically, through Ghandi, MLK Jr., Bobby Kennedy, Cesar Chavez, or even Jesus himself, we must claim the high ground and defend it, for it is our own.

It is on the high ground that those before us won their battles, and it is only on the high ground that we can expect to win ours. On any ground other than that high ground, we should expect to lose, and lose, and lose. Even after a loss for us on this ground, it must be readily surrendered by the villainous and returned to those who inherit the Earth and believe- the meek- because the villainous cannot maintain it. It can only be kept and fought for by those who actually believe. It can never be corrupted or turned for unjust purpose. It is its own and belongs to those who know right. Come to know that ground, dig your foxhole, love it, and know that it can never, EVER be taken by anyone unworthy, no matter their cleverness.


Godspeed DU and the American People.

4. It will. It was COLD tonight, and I'm not an angry old dude (or old lady)
from what I've seen of the Teahadists, they don't look like they have the stamina. Paid goons will be running for the heated buses, waiting to take them back to whatever part of Hades they came from.
