Reprise

For the Tea Party Movement

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall

For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside ragin’.
It’ll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand

Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast

The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’.

And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.

    Freedom. Means acting freely. Overrun them.

    We can hope this is true, and agitate for it.

    I noticed in one of the articles that Castle called himself a “moderate.” Cracker, please. He’s a full-on progressive.

    Yeah. I’m a dork.

    For those who may someday regret their current staunchiest staunchness? Tangled up in blue.

    Harvey 3, on grading, mostly, but really, a continuation of the background discussion on why liberalism is the suck.

    Cranky-d, the top three positions on the Engine Order Telegraph are “FLANK” (pedal to the metal), “FULL” (max sustainable), and “STD” (best economy). In leftoid land, a “moderate” is somebody running at the second notch. That makes Castle a moderate, you betcha.

    Regards,
    Ric

  9. cranky-d says:

    Castle is so moderate that you could put a D next to his name and he would still be elected.

  10. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Mike Castle, the distinguished Republican gentleman over there standing next to Harry Reid…just look over to the far LEFT.

    “I’m Christine O’Donnell and I approve this message.”

    If she’d have just run that 24/7, this shit would have been over months ago.

    Prediction: Today, Hewitt will scold Delaware for voting for the “unelectable” GOP candidate; his reliance on his vast experience to evaluate the current election cycle will be exceeding evident. Perhaps he’ll also scold the NRSC for so publicly ditching her.

    And then tomorrow he’ll get behind O’Donnell.

    Bob is a prophet

    According to Bob, he never wanted to be a prophet or a protest leader (too many smelly hippies involved), he was just an artist trying to write songs in the folk tradition to feed his family. So he’s an accidental prophet at most. Interesting, read it you must.
