Coupla months ago there was a big story about how some school somewhere was being forced to stop selling its well-known, local tradition "pink cookies" in the school cafeteria, due to Michelle Obama's B.S. I posted that the people in that school district needed to stand up, sell their damn cookies and get on with life. It's THEIR school, not the Fed's.
Another FReeper send me a private message, breathlessly reminding me that it was "federal law" and "the public comment time period" was over.
So --- there's the revolutionary spirit for ya. Straight from this forum. If people don't have the fortitude to stand up for pink cookies, they damn sure aren't going to stand against pink "marriage."
Sad but true, people in Hon Kong are risking being crushed by tanks for freedom and we are just too lazy to get off the couch.
Great story. Where are the conservative “Rosa Parks” people? Ghandi stood as a figurhead for massive civil disobedience, and managed to kick the British Empire to the curb. Civil disobedience is a powerful tool, yet the right has a strong aversion to it.
You’ve got to be kidding me. Sadly, you aren’t. I’ve heard many local conservatives just roll over and let government go ahead and expand. It’s for our safety/security/own good.
