You are, of course, laboring under the perception that there will be an election next year, and that it will not be manipulated by the GOP to insure their continued majority.

Once this is all said and done the government is going to undergo a major revision, probably along with the Constitution. The probability increases everyday that blood is going to be spilled in order to restore our freedoms. Once done, mechanisms must be enacted to make sure it never happens again.

And apparently when they tried to call her she was in Mexico.

is that they are failing to organize an actual resistance behind the facade of our useless, mostly trolling, protests. We need to start organizing cells, safe houses, secure communications, and all the other tools we are going to need to face the coming shitstorm.

"He's as much a part and parcel of everything that is wrong with this state and our country as any other of the cowards and traitors in the GOP. Thanking him for speaking out this one time is about as useful as thanking him for washing his hands after he takes a piss."

I laughed, but isn't there a sluttier vegetable out there somewhere? Rhubarb, maybe?

I am absolutely sympathetic to the concept of non-violence. I pray you are right, but this time, I think it won't end peacefully and I'm prepared to do what I have to do in defense of what I believe. Tragically, for someone who grew up in the Vietnam era, I *am* thinking outside the box.

This isn't the sixties. In order for non-violent protest to work you have to have the civil engagement of the object of the protests. Consider Germany in 1932-33 as the crucible for non-violence meeting with authoritarianism. How do you think that would have worked for the non-violent protesters?
