24. I meant I'm sick of being civil with unreasonable people like this moran
Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 08:14 PM by deutsey
As someone who has many conservative friends, I'm more than willing to converse with, debate with, and share a few drinks and laughs with people who don't agree with me politically.

However, I will no longer condone or try to play nice with fascist fuckheads.

Let the Democratic appeasers in Congress do that. Or someone like Sheehan can do it, if she really wants to engage someone like that.

I'm tired of us gearing up to play a rough and tumble game of hockey only to be met with fascist Republicans in machinegun nests on the ice, if you get my metaphorical drift.

Sometimes turning the other cheek is right and sometimes it accomplishes nothing more than getting your other cheek bruised and bloody.

In my more cynical moments (which have increased since I've been fighting Bush in 2000), I add this to Gandhi's famous saying:

First they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you.
Then you win.
Then they kill you.

And PS: Rove can kiss my ass.
