How do we fight when the Republicans control
what is lawful and what is not?

It's pretty obvious that those who disagree are the bad guys and should be taken care of one way or another.

But they seem to be able to do anything at any time without any consequences at all. Like kill over 100,000 people. It was justified because those people disagreed with us.

Or lie about anything. Or change any of the laws they don't happen to like.

4. Think Solidarity...not
"divide et impera", which translates to "divide and rule".

Effective use of this technique allows those with little real power to control those who collectively have a lot of power.

3. Attrition
Removing the heads off certain bodies that provide the support for the current theme. Most refuse to share power with their underlings,
so those below do not have what it takes to be leaders.

Cut the head off of a snake and the body dies.

6. Very short term, BOYCOTT. No christmas spending
Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 05:43 PM by nadinbrzezinski
or if you do it, local stores, and hand made goods

Keep the boycott going by spending as little as you can

Medium to short term, protests, peaceful protests, et al

Now some freepers have sugested expeling us from the Union, so I say, BRING IT ON

Oh and don't give up... you do, they won.

7. They would have to expel about 100 million people -
even with now legal AK-47s, that would take some doing.

8. I'm With You There!
That's how I have been doing it for many years. :) Economic boycott is one of the best LEGAL weapons.
