He argues for resistance as an agenda. It's just EXCELLENT. (Be warned, his name is Rude Pundit for a reason, though today's is not nearly as obscene as he normally gets. Not by a mile.)

Here are the first two:

There's precious few things we can say about the American people in general that'd be true, especially when it comes to politics. Yer pundits like to talk about Americans loving strength, commitment, and shit like that in their leaders. But that's not really entirely true: Americans like things to be concrete. They like practice, not theory. It's why Bush will never, ever recover public support on the Iraq war: it was sold to the U.S. based on a couple of concrete things - WMDs and and Iraq/Al-Qaeda nexus of eeeevil. It is now being waged based on something abstract: spreadin' democracy to freedom lovin' people.

See, you tell your average American that a man with brownish skin who talks a weird moonman language that he wants to blow your shit up, well, what are you gonna do? Say "No" to blowin' him up first? 'Course not. It's a simple, economical equation: kill or be killed. But when you gotta come back to that average American, that idealized version of a citizen that doesn't really exist, and say, "Hey, man, our shit wasn't about to be fucked up, but, lookie, we're 'spreadin' democracy' with our troops," well, you may as well start jackin' off now 'cause you'll be told repeatedly to "Go fuck yourself."

4. Big Fan Here

At first the profanity shocked me but I quickly got over it.

[Bouncy Ball]

5. I know, it's funny, I hardly notice it anymore.

It'd be weird if it weren't there with him, ya know?

[henslee]

6. Me big fan too. Rude Pundit hits ball out of park every time.

[Bouncy Ball]

7. And there's a Rude Pundit joke somewhere in that line you

just typed.

:evilgrin:

[silverweb]

17. Likewise.

I've become a big fan, too. His moniker is well chosen, because he is rude and obscene, but it's raw truth that he tells and that we need.

2. Another excellent passage:

... The right loves to say any time the Democrats resist or block a Republican bill or nominee or idea, "Well, Democrats, why don't you tell us what you'd like to do? What's your plan?" That's like a rapist getting kicked in the nuts by his potential victim and then asking her, "Well, okay, since you don't want to be fucked, what would you like to do?" The only proper response is not for the victim to suggest alternate activities ("Well, rapist, we could play a lively game of whist"), but to say, "I'd like you to be dead. No, no, even better, I'd like you to be buried alive. In a small coffin. Filled with scorpions. And covered in shit." ...

3. That's my personal favorite as well.

8. I would almost go back to school to take a class from R P

He is a college professor, you know.

[Bouncy Ball]

10. No WAY.

I read a lot of professor's blogs, apparently, but I had no idea he was one!

Here are a couple of others I read:

16. Yeah, he once had an entry to the effect of...

"Who is Rude Pundit?"
I think you might find something about it on his home page.
If it weren't such a beautiful day here on the Bay and my dog was not bugging the bejeezus out of me to go for a walk I would find it for you.
Old Pundit is something else and the idea of him forming and molding some young minds just tickles the hell out of me.

9. Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Let's get rude! nt

[Bouncy Ball]

11. I have him bookmarked and check it daily.

And there are really only a few blogs I read on a regular basis, but he's a never-miss.

[murray hill farm]

12. Heyyyyyyyyyy!!!

Rudepundit just got added to my favorites..thanks!

[Bouncy Ball]

13. No problemo!

And if you have no more spare time in your life do NOT look at the list of his links on the right of his home page.

It's addictive. ;-)

14. That's actually pretty pround analysis n/t

[Kurovski]

15. Rude Dude recommended. (nt)

[Bouncy Ball]

18. ROFL!!!

I found this really old entry (about two years ago) in the first of his archives. Hey, it's just as true today!

"We who hate Bush glory in our hate - we wear it like it's our own skin. We love to hate him and want to see him fail, fall, and end up in a closet in the back of the White House, wearing flag boxers and a wife-beater shirt, a pile of high-end Bolivian blow at his feet, an unread copy of the Constitution rolled up to snort through, and eyes reddened with madness and coke rush. We want him to quiver and shake as he realizes, at last, he's in over his head, threatening to kill Antonin Scalia for throwing the election his way, just wanting to get back to sweet mama's saggy arms in Kennebunkport, and leave all this responsibility behind."

:rofl:

19. The Rude One is definitely a piece of work.

Turn the other cheek? Fuck that shit! Grab them around the neck and choke 'em out. Then while they lay unconscious at your feet, kick them in the balls a half dozen times as hard as you can (just to make sure that they endure further pain after they wake up).

[dalaigh lllama]

20. He makes an excellent point in the last paragraph

Dems need to keep calling their bluff whenever Repukes call them obstructionist. They need to be leaders of the RESISTANCE:

Resistance leaders are revered as heroes in other nations, especially when they take on a monolithic, seemingly undefeatable opponent. Their rewards are power with which they can then either imitate the foul leaders just ousted or forge a new bond with the average citizen.
