Cold Fury:

One more time: this ain’t about chicken. It isn’t even about gay marriage. It’s about straws, and camels’ backs, and being absolutely fed to the gills with being lectured, hectored, harassed, shouted down, mocked, and ignored. It’s about being used as an unwilling national ATM by people doing things we do not in any way approve of, indeed are strongly opposed to and offended by. It’s about being disrespected, taken for granted, and coerced.

It’s about the ongoing attempt to remake us into a more docile, dependent people, very much against our will. It’s about being lied to so obviously even a small child wouldn’t be fooled by it. It’s about being condescended to by people who aren’t even smart enough to see that their way of doing things has been a miserable, oppressive failure every single time it’s been tried, and are so deluded they can’t see that it’s failing yet again all around them, before their very eyes.

It’s about having a bellyful of being misled and misruled by the patently misguided. It’s about not sitting back and quietly taking it anymore.
