Speaking truth to power, is a revolutionary act

not doing what is expected is a revolutionary act

In a society so carefully controlled as ours, biking instead of driving, and dropping your consumption to the minimum required to survive is a revolutionary act.

Not watching the MSM is a revolutionary act

Taking action, is a revolutionary act

That is all

You welcome and lets see how many of us have acted

me use a bike as much as I can now... and drive as little or I can

Buy what I need, not what i can.

And I speak truth to power as often as I can

The primitives have this "speaking truth to power" thing all wrong.

And it was the Bostonian Drunkard who started it.

There is no courage, no bravery, in "speaking truth to power" when there are no consequences.

The existence of Skins's island proves this; despite all the primitive yimmer-yammering of Hate and racism and intolerance, Skins's island still exists, unhampered by the power in the White House.

Whooppee shit.

Real courage occurs when one "speaks truth to power" in the main square of Havana or Pyongyang or Hanoi or Peking or Caracas or Salisbury or Rangoon or Minsk or Teheran or anywhere else where there's a socialist paradise of the workers and peasants.....and when there are consequences, sometimes fatal, for speaking out.

Some primitive cursing at George Bush isn't being brave or heroic; the primitive already knows there's nothing that's going to happen to him.

Real courage occurs when one "speaks truth to power" and suddenly evaporates, nebel und nacht, into a dark fog, never to be seen again......as has happened tens of millions of times in socialist paradises of the workers and peasants.

Damn, the primitives are so stupid.

They are beyond stupid. They don't even know the meaning of the quote they love to use.

Is it still a revolutionary act when WE speak truth to THEIR power?

Just mention St. Barack's:
 middle name
 ears
 wife
 Paster
 Marxist leanings
 lack of accomplishments

See how fast they award you the granite cookie! Yep... Scratch a liberal, find a fascist!

Truth to power, truth to power, blah, blah, blah, ........I just want to know when they'll get the power to speak the truth?

They have the power, they lack the capacity.  They can't speak what they don't know.

Before one may speak Truth to anyone or anything one must first know the Truth.

This begs a larger question....

Why in the heck do you want a revolution in the best country in the world?
The country with the most freedom, security, and opportunity?
Do you want to take those things away?

they only want it taken away from those of us who think differently than they do....as long as we agree with them, we can have our freedom of speech, etc.

I'm so sick of that catchphrase.

Speaking lies to truth... it's a leftist act.  ::)

I already vented on this once (http://taylors-acolyte.livejournal.com/20693.html)- - anyone who uses that phrase should be shot.

It comes from Quaker beginnings (1800's in a sense the original "peaceniks") and was then adopted during WWII as an anti-war stance. Ya, these idiots were upset we bombed the crap out of the Japanese.  :whatever:

I doubt the primitives understand that it was/is a christian way of life.
