Amidst all the news articles of the day  I find this brilliant piece by Oyate.  I sit here now with feelings of despair. A heaviness in my chest, fighting back tears of frustration.

 I have given the last two and a half years of heart and soul, energy and spirit fighting for this Country, for Freedom, Liberty and the RON PAUL R3VOLUTION.  Only now to find there are insidious intentions to subvert all the beautiful things we have been fighting for?  How does one stand up to  that evil?

Of course, my present thoughts are just what is a certain faction wants me to feel. 

Give me liberty........

Sorry to bum you out Jean, cheer up. This just calls for a change in strategy.

 Conservative activits think?  Ain't that an oxymoron!  If there's one thing that bunch can't do to save their lives is think.

A change in strategy, I like that.  Do know this: I hold Hannity, Beck and their cronies in complete contempt. I do have a long memory.  Ditto for our elected representatives....

Yeah, as you know, Brock put a more fine point on it in his editorial that followed mine (chronologically).

So we've done this before and we (the general movement) are great at thinking and responding creatively. It's just that we gotta get over this hump.

I continue this whole thread on the Brock post.

    I cannot ignore the central topic of these exchanges because freedom of expression is important to me. Without taking any side yet, I think you guys are brilliant and deep – this I must honestly say to all of you -- starting from  Oyate’s versatile writing that I cannot help but commend, Psychictaxi’s command of logic, and those observed input coming from the empirical reactions of Ducatijeanne, Lucky Red, Don Wills and Chip Saunders. I guess the public is as interested as I am in what we are reading, and I think a silent audience is also watching. But I feel left out from this lively discussion because I am neither a neocon nor a lib.  I am just a floating butterfly – a friend once told me – that when disquieted by any threat to freedom, or hurt by something not fair or when injustice is done to others, stings like a bee.

     Be considerate in hammering on personalities because to the other side you cannot be less worse than they are and what you are doing to them will also be done unto you. And please watch the language used.  I might take a long vacation to Alaska if it’s going to get worse.  #
