Oh, where oh where is Abby Hoffman? Oh, that’s right he’s in hell. He had a good run. Who can forget, “Ho,Ho, Ho Chi Minn.” and then there was the ever popular, “Hey, Hey LBJ how many kids did you kill today?” Admittedly both slogans were one step above gibberish. But they were easy to remember (especially while stoned), had a good beat and you could dance to it.
Today’s liberals tried to capture the vibe of the Chicago Democratic convention, 1968 version. There is one slogan that the dems and liberals should have kept in mind before they embarrassed themselves at the President’ state of the union address. That is, “The whole world is watching!”
Unfortunately for liberals the reaction was akin to slowing down to gaze at the blood and gore at a car accident. It is a guilty pleasure, soon forgotten and vehemently denied if caught looking. No outrage, just embarrassment.
Throwing temper tantrums like a mean spirited two-year-old in not the path to success. I suppose liberals could voice a call to arms but the logistics would preclude a quick response. “Excuse me but do you have an assault rifle thingy in puce?” Then there is the learning curve, “But Chuck Norris had an assault rifle in each hand, and he hit everything…”
Their opponents could be easily mobilized. Just point out to the redneck, and cajuns: “You don’t need a hunting license, there is no bag limit, and they taste like chicken.” There would be no fight.
Part of a successful insurgency is to adopt tactics that are within the capability of your soldiers. Fighting people who are willing and capable of fighting is not a liberal virtue.
All is Lost!
No, here is a list of successful protest actions that demonstrate the commitment the cause. Rise up democrats and liberals choose your weapon and go forth to fulfill your destiny. Remember with Republicans in control life isn’t worth living anyway.
Liberal Protest tactics that will bring about change.
Knowing how liberals downplay individual initiative. I’ve come up with a strategy to encourage group participation. A 5K run that ends ten feet north of the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Free tee shirts, bring a friend make that two!
