‘Outrage’

Posted on December 11, 2011 by KG

‘..Jefferson was right: regular waterings of the Tree of Liberty with the blood of patriots and tyrants is the only way to keep that precious plant alive. But we have been deprived, not merely of the means, but far more important, of the will. We troop like sheep to our polling places — those of us who still believe that voting could change anything — and dutifully pull the levers for our preferred shearers, hoping against hope that their blades will leave more on our backs than would the other party’s. A more definite, courageous response to our subjugation has slipped beyond our imagining…’ (bold mine)
Francis Porretto
UPDATE: And for beautifully timed confirmation of that, go take a look at TrueblueNZ’s latest post.

      I think they see this as their best ‘window’ yet and they know there’ll be a backlash. The trick is to get people and regulations in place before that happens.
      And does anybody seriously believe the Republicans will wind it back if they gain the WH?
      I don’t.
      No politician yet willingly gave up power grabbed by his predecessors.
