Will call you every name in the book, yet they can't fight you with the facts.

This is nothing new to those who hold true to our liberal values. We are use to it. There is nothing anyone can say or do that can make us toss those values out the window. They hope to, but they can't.

It's going to be brutal, but if we don't continue to be the voice for the values we believe in there will be no one left to do it.

We play a very important role. Just take a moment and take in all the vitriol aimed at us, not just by our fellow blog commenters, but the media and the corporatists in Washington DC of both parties.

5. I give this a 10 out of 10 in the cross-dragging category.

This'll be tough to beat but there will countless attempts.

7. is that a compliment?

[JNelson6563]

8. That depends.

For those assuming the mantle of martyrdom, I suppose it would be taken as a compliment.

To those with a less self-involved, self-pitying perspective, no, it's not

9. I don't feel pity for myself. Actually I meant it to be empowering.

It wasn't meant either of the two ways you have described.
