OUR FILIBUSTER

I sent this to Sens.Kerry/Kennedy requesting they FILIBUSTER WITH OUR OWN WORDS. Send them YOUR own words to read at the filibuster. The following has actually changed so much from the original that anyone is free to use it as their own if so inclined.

(To the Senators). THE FILIBUSTER: Does everything go into the congressional record in a filibuster? If so, since this is OUR MOVEMENT, Senator, may I respectfully suggest you enter OUR WORDS into the record.

Here is my contribution, a response to Washington Post op ed columnist Eugene Robinson.

VOTE FOR US OR DIE: THE MEMO FROM GEORGE BUSH

Give us what we want, he says, or you will be viewed as traitors. You are with us or against us, patriot or traitor, nothing else. Say his minions: You will support him 100% or you are committing treason. To the choir: Liberals are traitors, democrats are liberals and thus are traitors.

If you don't give us what we want, it will happen again and you will die. Classic abuse. Classic terrorism. Threats of violence against a person or persons IS terror, IS violence. All the rest is blather.

By repeatedly threatening the democrats, they are threatening us, telling us: DO AND THINK WHAT WE WANT OR YOU WILL SUFFER OR DIE. This is not protection; it's extortion. This is the voice and language of people who do not give a damn if we live or die, as long as they get what they want. This is how the gun to the head would talk if guns had voice chips.

A national leader has a duty to work with an opposition party to do what is right to protect Americans. But you did not want cooperation. You wanted total, slavish, ball-busting obeisance, to be enthroned above the law with Alito the dark angel waiting in the wings to install him. You failed at getting that instant dictatorial power, so you immediately resorted to threats.

Leaders lead; terrorists terrorize. As the trend-setting elites, we say to you: You are for us or against us, and it is crystal clear that you are AGAINST us. You DESPISE our FREEDOM as it agitates against the slavery your crave from others. Like all good terrorists, you train your sights AGAINST US. I take that personally AND nationally.
