White Feather

Vanity | Revolutionary

So when the Congressman's secretary opens the letter to find a feather, the office will be shut down and a possible HAZMAT situation declared.

The sender will be tracked down and interviewed by local FBI.

Let us know how that works out.

to me , a white feather has an entirely different connotation

[spokeshave]

A white feather will invoke a reaction from TPTB that could be very unpleasant. It is one of their trigger phrases and is on several key word lists.

Well then...send them all a "Pirates Black Spot"

The Black Spot is a literary device invented by Robert Louis Stevenson for his novel Treasure Island. In the book, pirates are presented with a "black spot" to officially pronounce a verdict of guilt or judgment.

Better yet....an invite to take tea with Polonius.

Any mail to Congress is scanned for biological agents and x-rayed as well.

Mailing letters of protest to congress critters is an excercise in futility, especially those reacting to current issues. The time lag in the security process all too often means that the issue at hand has already been acted upon by congress before those mails reach them.

Phone calls and emails are the most expeditous ways to reach out. Even if the email gets saturated or voice mail box overflows, they get a sense from the volume.

Don’t know if this applies to their local offices as well, but if the reason is for security, it probably does.

Ask the SOBs staff.

I would prefer a more direct approach but I'm willing to play nice for a while longer....

As seen in Burns the III%’ers are a government front.

With the mention of Carlos Hathcock, I can’t but think about Major Jim Land, Jr. [USMC ret], Hathcock’s boss in Vietnam. Jim trained Carlos in one of his early Sniper courses and commanded Carlos in ‘Nam.

The attitude needs to NEVER FORGET /NEVER FORGIVE/AVENGE WITH COMPOUND INTEREST the evil done to the nation & the people by both the Democrats & the Republicans whether done out of malignant malice by Democrats or cowardice & intellectual laziness & fecklessness by Republicans.

Only when this is the attitude of the Republican voter will the GOPe & Congressional Republicans start to pay serious attention.
