Nope, not gonna do it

Yes, I must be on a mission today to blog for a record. I just seem to have a lot locked in my head with noone to say it to. So my faithful friends and readers, you get it all!

I've joined a social networking site for people who support and/or are going to the march on Washington next week. I've clicked on many articles and read the follow-up comments. I can't tell you which one this came from, okay I can, but to protect this idiot from future comments about his intelligence, I will not.

You do realize that in 8 days some of you will be in handcuffs, shot, billyclubbed, or even be without fingers, right?

You do realize that the good civilians of Washington DC will need to be forcefully defended from the likes of you people, right? Especially since DC has a large African American population.

For every ten of you cowards, there will be one Timothy McVeigh, James Von Brunn, or Scott Roeder in your midst. You do realize that some of you more “level headed” types will be caught in the crossfire when these whackjobs do something stupid, right?

Why do you think Limbaugh, Hannity, and even Beck have not pushed Sept. 12 and have only thrown a few words your way only because the date is coming near? They know what is going to happen and want to distance themselves from it. I will laugh so loud when Hannity and Beck start condemning you guys for initiating violence in DC. They need you to maintain their millionaire lifestyles but do you really believe that they are going to throw their lot with a bunch of rioting white trash?

Battered, bloodied, and bruised, condemned by your very own “leaders”, and nothing will come of your efforts. Health care will pass and Democrats stay in power indefinitely.

I can’t wait for Sept. 12.


Really? This is the response that peaceful protesters are going to get? I've never protested before. I haven't even attended a tea party. And for the record, even if I had, I would not be a teabagger. Jeanine Garofolo can bite my....never mind. She's probably a real teabagger. But, I digress.

When Cindy Sheehan continually protested outside of President Bush's personal home, not the White House, his personal home, noone threatened her. I did not believe in what she was doing, but I believe in her right to do it. She lost a beautiful son in the war on terror. She chose to handle her grief as an advocate for peace. Good for her. I wish we could have peace in the world, and purple unicorns holding puppy dogs while eating ice cream. But honey, it ain't gonna happen as long as other people and even our own schoolbooks teach hatred toward our country. We have the right to defend that which our founding fathers defended. Many were lost in our fight for freedom. We will not go gently into that good night. We will fight for the rights of everyone, so that they may have a chance at the same freedoms and liberties that she enjoys by protesting against the leader of her country without the threat of being beat, dismembered or even losing her life.

Why do I not have the right to peacefully protest against a government which I oppose? Why am I a teabagger if I choose to protest? Why should I fear for my safety, freedom or life for choosing to protest? I should not have to even think about fearing for my safety. Our founding fathers promoted a tea party to protest the high tariffs the King of England was imposing on us. Should we not have the same right to protest against the high taxes this administration is imposing on us and our children. My son will not work for 5 1/2 more years, yet he knows his employment taxes will already be higher just because of the actions of today.

I will not go gently into that good night. I will fight peacefully for the rights of every American, liberal or conservative, Christian, Buddhist, atheist or otherwise. Why? Because I believe that it is my responsibility to stand up and tell the government when they are taking too much control of our lives. We each have the right to be a liberal or a conservative, to worship or not worship the God of our choosing and to raise our children as we see fit, providing we do not abuse them.

See you in Washington next week. If I don't stand up for your rights, who will?
