It's one thing to come here and gripe "ain't it awful" and not DO anything. So today on the local radio wingnut talkshow I called-in and challenged a jack-a/a-hole WINGNUT GUN jerk.
Really, I'm shy and don't like to stick my neck out, but then I told myself, you have to have the BALLS of your convictions, and I STOOD UP to freaking THREE PLUS A GUEST wingnuts all by myself, and I probably made a fool of myself, but F***'em!!

telling them where to stuff their hatred. Good on you.

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is namd...
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But hell remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day.

I am very shy too, but I just had to set the record straight, and I'm glad I did. If we don't challenge these people, no one will hear our side. Thank you for speaking up! Be very proud.
