I feel all REFRESHED after a DU Break - Ready to Kick some Repig ASS. Who's with me?!

Look, it's been a dissapointing week/month/year/six years.. we all know it. And MOST of us have been FIGHTING the good fight the WHOLE TIME. I know I have. And I've seen MANY here doing it as well, on SO Many Levels.

The important thing to remember is that it ALL MAKES A DIFFERENCE, whether you Know it or NOT.

I've been amazed at how many people I've affected in my life, most times without even realizing it. From College, as a student teacher who drank too much and ignored the newbies, to all the Flash Political attack ads I've been doing since the Imperial Takeover.

Sure, I've not got Bush Kicked out, but I got HUGS from complete strangers in front of the White House... (Of course I told them to NOT Touch me. NEVER touch the Symbolman, NEVER.) :)

We all INSPIRE each other, just don't forget that, DON'T FORGET THAT, EVER. And what we are doing will accumulate, and rise up like a WAVE in 2008, and beyond, just watch it happen. I'm not talking through my ass here, I've seen a lot of history, and MADE some myself, and after a half a century of being a Rowdy Asshole, you learn a few things - like the cycles of life and Politics.

Bush and Co are headed for a RED Monkey ass beating, if nothing else the accumulated Bad Karma they've generated alone, would power a Nuclear Plant.

It's coming, and WE ALL have something to do with it, from walking, doing the door to door thing, to donating at the DU here, to making films, to just making PLANS - it IS COMING.

We will be REDEEMED. Now all we have to do is remember to STAND TOGETHER. Sounds corny, but NOW is the TIME.

Are you WITH ME on this?

I'm BACK in the game, refreshed from my DU Break.

Let's ROLL.

:thumbsup:

HEY, I Remember YOU, from 2001 - that was a banner time, wasn't it? So much ACTIVISM sprang from this place.. maybe we all need some direction again, eh?

Appreciate the welcome!

Have you hugged your Pagan today?

How do you want your Repig Sandwich?

Shaved? (They're like Monkeys.. I swear! You gotta shave 'em first) :)

I would like that with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and a little horseradish mayo (it covers the blandness nicely), thank you.

Just skin them, it saves on razors.

SO glad you are back, now my morning coffee is a bit more enjoyable.

I'd leave the Razors IN for Flavor, that's how BLAND those creatures are.. ever seen one TRY to dance? It's hilarious, go to a GOP convention and watch them CLAP for gods sakes :)

You're nasty.. I LIKE YOU :)

I am relatively sure I would burst into flames before I could make it 10 feet inside and if I didn't spontaneously combust I am sure I would quickly go blind at the sight of dancing RWers. Then they would all huddle around me calling on Jesus to cure my blindness and I'd end up locked in some church basement while they try and "save" me.

AS for razors in my sandwich... I am a masochist, just not THAT much of one. You can have the razors, I'll just stick with anything hot and spicey!

You're completely nuts.. I like you too :)

:D

Thank you for starting it on an up note for us symbolman fans!

Remember, what goes UP, must come DOWN, law of the universe :)

The bigger they get, the HARDER they fall, works every time!

They will fall. I just hope it is soon. Looking at this pic gives me hope. cheney can't look THIS bad if things are going well for him and his junta



Oh, and we are glad you are back right now. There is a big tournament going on here at DU. Get yer Whacking Racket out. Busy season:

Just be aware that some of us are not quite there yet, but don't take it personally. As you noted, it's been a disappointing week/month/year/six years.

That is SO "Last Week" :)

Seriously. The one thing we can depend upon is that the Human Mind is designed to FORGET BAD THINGS. This leads to a Happier Life. Unfortunately, the opposition USES this against us, but in the meantime, I just keep looking Forward, not backward, as I know I've already learned from that what I NEED to know to Go Forward..

We'll kick their asses, just watch - they always reach that point where they end up speaking in CODE, so much so that the Average American starts to scratch their heads and think, "What the Fuck are THEY TALKING ABOUT?"

See it many times.. they get "Lost in their own Message".. watch for it :)

and as refreshing as it is to see such optimism, my point is that not every DUer is there yet. Rah-rah-ing won't necessarily help, either. Everyone arrives at their own pace provided it's still possible to get to an optimistic mindset, particularly after the events of this week.

and I was once told I had an "Infectious" personality, but then I shot a man, just to watch him die.. no wait, that was Johny Cash.. :)

I've NEVER given up, NEVER, and I won't stop now.. they'll have to PRY my Smile from my cold, dead, hands..

I know, I've been in the trenches too, spent upwards of 200,000 dollars fighting these guys, our site Takebackthemedia.com was once sued by Michael Savage's lawyers for a half a million Bucks, now THAT's something that might wipe the smile from a face..

But we Never gave up :)

And many Here won't give up either, just clobbered by a right hook, doesn't mean the fight is over, sometimes it just makes you MADDER :)

and carry on. Perhaps the disheartened among us, myself included, can regain the faith at some point. It could happen.

It's nice to see some optimism! Cheers to you!

You have been missed. Sabbaticals are healthy.O8)

I really DO miss this place.. I've made SO MANY FRIENDS over all these years.. even got to meet some of you at Events, Taking over the CNN building in LA for one thing, that was a KICK :)

Good to see you ALL!

:evilgrin:



:hi: (Long time, no sea.)

Good one.. all I know is that in the Movie 1941 when the Dummy SEES the Japanese Sub BEFORE the two Organic guys do, I fell on the floor laughing :)

A lot of people miss that scene.. love the references, we need IRREVERENCE more than ever these days.. wish they'd bring back all the old National Lampoons from the 70's about now :)

welcome back. :)

i am in the fight. there is no other way.

Great to see you! :hug:

oh well good to have you back....

Always looked forward to your posts.

Welcome back!
:pals:

Inspiration has been a commodity in short supply around here lately, God knows.

Every single, tiny grassroot, now inching its way under the corrupt foundations of our criminal political system, will eventually serve to undermine and finally topple it from below. SG



:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Welcome back! :hi:

Yeah, I am ready. It's past time to flip this country. The profit is ours.

for yonder horizon....

DU has had way too much DEM Bashing for them I guess,

Velcome Home.....

:smoke:

I don't want to miss that.

listen to Rush Limpbone 24/7 and droolboarding you. I don't trust those Brownshorts Bastids withe leaders like Stormpooper Vitter running around wild eyed in his camo huggies to Mad Ann Coulter...that bunch is dangerous to every living thing.

One can NEVER be too careful.

did you go on vacation? or just a break from the site?

:shrug:

...or any other room for that matter. Apparently he was threatening to spam the DU until they tombstoned him. Hasn't worked so far.

See here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=102890

Welcome Back!!!! :bounce:

:hi:

PS: Thanks for this post....I needed it.... :hug:

to Hawaii to receive medical care. I agree that we can inspire each other and should remember that.

Good timing, symbolman. It was starting to get downright gloomy around here.

Welcome back!

:hi:

:hi:

I finally got broadband so I can enjoy your work now, so keep posting.

Never Give Up.

Glad you are refreshed, hope your health is as good.

That the next woman I'm with is going to Light Up, and pay off in Silver Dollars - my wife is thrilled about it :)

Feeling Great, though that might be the meds, like that song, "Look at Grandma Dance, Grandpa's got some brand new pills!"

But it ain't any pills, after seeing that pic of Bush and Cheney looking wan and crispy, I realized that the END is Near for them, and I realized also that Bush had to BEG for this to pass.

Of course we should consider that the Next DEMOCRATIC President will/may have these powers as well, and might even use them for GOOD.

Like getting the goods on all those bastards, eh?

THanks for all the concern over my health, been busy as hell on many counts, but now have time to kick those monsters in the ass - let's form a circle and put the kids in the middle, like those Musk Oxen - who also take no shit, I've seen them in the wilds of Alaska by helicopter in the 70's.

Which reminds me of my book, DON'T lose your "Jesus Bolt" my friends, that piece of metal that holds all the blades on the chopper :)

WE will Beat them Like Circus Donkeys - I was a "Bush Hater" in the National Review before it was "Cool" :)

Although the threat of it makes a nice tool for drawing impeachment supporters.

But I am glad you're feeling better.

:)

Let us kick some Repuke ass!

It's simple, you break the pool cue in HALF, hand one half to the man who has your back, and you fight your way OUT of the bar, Back to Back - that's Literally having someone's back..

and it works :)

Together we are strong! :)

One of my all-time favorite DU posters. :loveya:

By the way, when my Book, THE JESUS BOLT is published, YOU will be one of the first I send a Free Copy to.. it's all Alaskan, during the Pipeline in the 70's, and a Real Alaskan would probably enjoy it most of all :)

I can say that Global Warming saved my LIFE - and it's all in the book, it will make sense when you read it..

I did use it once in one of my flash works - Stranger and I virtually Invented the Flash Political Attack ad online in 2000 :)

We've created over 50 Flash works at Takebackthemedia.com, among other things..

One good Piece of BushArt, though!

Where's American Stranger? We don't see him here enough.

I think I saw his pic on a milk carton this morning when I was eating my Wheaties :)

He's always got tons of projects going, and I've been lax in working the site for the last year or so - been writing a book instead, a scathing indictment of global warming, and the destruction of habitat in 1970's Alaska, where I flew around in Helicopters all over the North Slope.. it will blow the lid off the racism shown against the natives, the death of many creatures, and corrupt Oil Companies operating in the tundra - all couched in an adventure tale with a moral..

I miss him already - he and I used to "duel" with Flash works on the DU and joined forced to create Takebackthemedia.com as you recall :)

THanks for asking!

both of your Flash exploits from days in the Bartcop Forum, too.

:patriot:

You're another one of my faves, always On the Beam, got your Mojo working when it comes to these monsters, spreading the WORD, thanks for all you do as well..

And to all my friends who've posted, can you Feel the LOVE in this ROOM?

Then ROLL IN IT, like a Fresh Kill! :)

Good to read you, symbolman!

The signs are there: The BFEE are shaking in their hobnailed boots.

that means a lot - I highly respect your posts, and this is one thing we need ALL agree on, that Bush is going down - if nothing else, his legacy will be as the most REVILED pResident in HISTORY - no amount of money will ever take the "stink" off of these guys..

Generations of families who have lost members to this THEFT, this use of the Treasury as an ATM machine, to the tune of a TRILLION tax dollars, will pass the word to everyone, much as I tell my toddler when Bush is on TV, "THAT is a BAD Man. Stay AWAY from HIM.."

I see OLD RUSSIAN GUARD when I look at these guys, waving from the top of a TALL Building while they view the Missiles Careen down the Street, waving to the SLAVES..

Thanks for all you post, highly regarded by many here :)

:toast:

:hi:

Kick some ass!

We sure know what it is now, if we didn't before....& THIS is NOT it. :mad:

Your outrageous enthusiasm comes at a good time symbolman. The troops are tired and discouraged. But the hardest battles are yet to come.

Let justice roll down...

...and I'm coming to the conclusion that now is the time for us to simply stand our ground and focus. Because the rethugs are coming apart of their own accord. Maybe it's that karma you mentioned. Whatever it is, there's a shift coming, and we will have to be calm and focused and determined to make the best use of it. Now is not the time to dissipate our energies. It's time to dig in and picture the future as we want it to be.

Waitasec -- what're all these Democrats doing in our way??? :shrug:

You know, let's put together another song parody of Gordon Lightfoot's "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"... to go along with your earlier rendition of "Secret Agent Plame". With what we know now though at present day, we need to balance the lyrics so that Henry Waxman gets just as much emphasis as Fitzgerald does, even though his name doesn't rhyme with the original lyrics like Fitz's does. I'll try to get back to my earlier put aside efforts of writing a first pass of those alternate lyrics again and forward to you. With all of the history we have now, we should have quite a few verses we could have for this ballad.

got my pitchfork sharpened, just tell me where to point it at...

:hi:

although that victory now seems to have been mostly symbolic.

has not translated well into the direction of the congress. But in comparison to late 2001-2004 we've come a long way.

and the Irish flag.

I almost said 'welcome to DU' but you've been here a bit.

I was trying to be positive too, and funny - symbolic, symbolman. Funny is a silly and not very original way, but I tried.

looking for you on DU & at takebackthemedia.com -- wondering where you were, what happened to you, missing you...... Glad you're back! We still need to take back the media..... Thanks for all you did. Your flash work was amazing and unforgettable.

:hug:

So there!

PS - glad you're back!!!

And yes.

Let's ROLL.

Discouragement is what helps them. If we take a spill, get up, dust off and get in there.

So happy to see you. Been thinkin' aboutcha!

I know we make a difference. Hell, just look at what we did last year. Democrats won all over this great land. "From sea to mighty sea! From coast to mighty Coast! From Bangor all the way to mighty Maine!!!" Firesign Theatre

together and put the pressure on the dems. They are home now. We need to call them over the month of August with loud protestations. We also need to be ubiquitous, cheering and jeering.
