I've been reading other people's blogs/sites for the last few months (see side bar for some suggestions). But the devastating outcome of Tuesday's election brought me back to the writing end of the blogosphere.
I know a lot of conservatives, you probably do to, so I want to share with you what I am telling them, now and from now on. I hope you can use it too, to talk to the people you work with, worship with, or just meet:
"We, liberals, progressives, Democrats, have played Vichy to your Third Reich for too long. We will not be the go along, get along collaborationists you're used to any more.
Your ideals are immoral, and your worldview can only lead to the ultimate destruction of the planet.
Our government is a government of the majority which rules with the consent of the minority. I withhold my consent. I will not consent to racists, mysogynists, homophobes, and religious extremisists.
I will fight you with every breath I have left in my body. My children will fight you. My grandchildren will fight you. No matter how many generations of us you hold in bondage, know this: WE WILL WIN!"
We have to speak this truth to people, we have to frame the debate in our terms, we have to take back the United States.
What I'm reading now: Don't Think of an Elephant by George Lakoff
What I'm listening to now: South African Freedom Songs (Mayibuye America: Let America come back)
