52. WTF! 20+ kids were gunned...
Wed Dec 19, 2012, 12:06 AM
Dec 2012

... down like 2 days ago and we're posting and commenting on this irrelevant shit?

P.R.I.O.R.I.T.I.E.S E.V.E.R.Y.B.O.D.Y!!!

Drop this now!

20+ kids DEAD!
Teachers DEAD!

And the NRA still wants us to let them let kids keep getting killed!!!

The NRA are on the FUCKING ROPES and your getting distracted over hypothetical shit??


And how does the Daily LOLCATS keep getting up front when we got dead kids????
Or those "Oh, the Repubes are so bad... let's BOOOO!!" posts????
Or posts like this one, the "Oh, Obama might not do what we wa----nt!" posts??

How the fuck does that shit make it to the front page anyway?


Look at yourselves?
How many of you have already commented on shit like this?
How many of you have REC'D shit like this?
Look at all of those posts your posting on?

Look at the front page... Where are the posts about getting the NRA for their hand in the death of those kids????


Jesus Christ on a Tricycle!
Get off this shit and only keep stuff about "STOPPING THE NRA FROM KILLING OUR KIDS" ON THE FRONT PAGE!!!


And none of that "Oh, BOOO at the NRA" do-nothing bullshit.

I mean: feet on the ground, blisters on your hands and tears pouring from your eyes as you physically stand in the face of every Rep that supports this nuttiness --- and I mean right where they feel your breath --- and know that they stand in the way of your children, your friends, children, your cousins, your aunt's, all of them AND THAT THEY HAVE TO GET THROUGH YOU TO EVEN LET THE WIND TOUCH THEIR HAIR!!!!

And that you will not be ignored, not be made to wait for later, not patient for discussion or review --- that you will take not take "NO" for an answer.

Get on the fucking bubble!


** EDIT: After I walked away, I realized something: All the things we want depends on this just ONE win against the NRA.

The NRA is totally on the ropes.
They have GOPers/RWers who are "having a change of heart" or "wanting to discuss "balanced approaches".

Heck... let's look. The RWers are against.

Roping in the NRA and gun nuts with real regulations.
Social Security.
Medicare.
Taxing the 1%.
Healthcare.
Workers Rights.
Unionization.
Fair Wages.


All we have to do is win ONE of those.
If we win any ONE....
... then we win them ALL.

Right now, the easy one to win is tossing a lasso around the NRA and roping them in.

We come out there in numbers and push and win that....
... heck... after that, we know the formula for how to win the rest.

And we all want to win.
I know you do.

You can almost get a faint taste of it...
