"Vanderboegh," the friend/source/retired spook said to me in a conversation on the general topic of 'change agents' a couple of days ago after I got to DC, "you're like this little rock in the middle of their stream, defying the water. The water and everything in it can try to ignore you as they pass by, but they can't go through you, or under the ground you occupy. You just sit there and defy them and they hate you for it, because you not only defy them but you mock them. It pisses them off because you just won't go away or get out of their way."
"Yeah," I replied, "but the low-life in the water still gets around me."
"So get more rocks and build you a dam."
He always has a way of putting things into perspective, being a rather more formidable (if less obtrusive) rock himself. I took it as a high compliment and the subject of a recruiting poster for more citizen-rocks.
That's a hint.
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.
Thomas Jefferson
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
Stand like a Rock is good.....but we need to start punching them in the mouth, and take back the America they have corrupted.
Somebody have a better metaphor for that concept?
Yes.
Give me Liberty or give me death.
So help me God.
Pound them with rocks, scissors, paper and everything else including the kitchen sink.
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.
DISMANTLE UNaccountable bureaucracies/agencies/czars/ngos/etc., etc. operating under the auspices of “government”.
DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic.
Cut, cut, cut...let them die from a death of a million cuts.
“Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. This will be no light task.” - Bastiat
2010...onward, upward.
Excelsior!
Given your screen name I was hoping for something less pleading and more demanding......{;^)
When you’re David, you carry a sword, build you a better slingshot, and aim for the head of the beast. Use your stones wisely and well, and all you need is one. Fell the bastard then cut his damn head off.
Never give a inch!
