Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with these war-like preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. (Rove/McConnel/Boehner declaring war on the tea party) Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation?
Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings (republicans) resort.
I ask, gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it?
This is excerpted from Patrick Henry's "Give me Liberty" speech in 1773. it explains the red pill line, and was aimed squarely at folks espousing your position.
So my question remains, you will fundraise for who? Anyone but the republican? If you are so adamant against the GOP i suggest you begin now to get your candidate on board.
But i honestly suspect it is MUCH easier to play the victim, isnt it?
