Time to SXXX or Get Off The Pot
4 CommentsPosted January 20th, 2010 5:52 am
Jim Pence at Hillbilly Report put out this timely post. Go read it all:
The point is this: “It’s time to shit or get off the pot.”
I’m tired of listening to whiny ass progressives with all their excuses and their willingness to blame everyone else for the situation we’re in. I’m tired of hearing my so called progressive friends saying: “I can’t go to that rally, because I might make somebody mad at me”, “It’s too cold to go out and carry a sign”, “It’s supposed to rain tomorrow” “Oh it’s too hot for a protest rally”, “It’s not important to counter protest the Tea Party folks, Hell their just Astroturf, “Go to a protest rally are you kidding me?”
Sure the Tea Party folks are Astroturf, but they are on the streets and in the Town-Halls and that’s more than I can say about the progressive community.
Yes I’m from a Red state, yes I live in rural Kentucky, yes much of the so called progressive community looks down their nose at folks like me, yes my writing leaves a lot to be desired, and yes my conscience is clear, because I’ve done everything within my power to fight for what I believe in. Have you? I’ll let my record speak for it self. What does your record have to say?
If you’ve still reading, you may be thinking that I’m pissed at my progressive brothers and sisters. I’m not pissed. I’m just disappointed. I love my progressive brothers and sisters. I know what we are capable of doing. I see the potential and to ignore our potential and what we are capable of doing and sit back and watch without bringing it to the progressive community’s attention, is simply not an option for me.He’s right. The only observation to be added is this: Now, it doesn’t matter what anyone’s record is to this point. It starts here, and starts now. This is the time. Not the time to sit around worrying about how bad 2010 is going to be. This is the time to stand up and respond. Things don’t get better by wishing.

honestly, the notion behind the post is exactly what the post laments.
“I’m tired of listening to whiny ass progressives with all their excuses and their willingness to blame everyone else for the situation we’re in.”
really, at the core, the actual message here is an attempt to blame whiny ass progressives for the situation we are in. Obviously Jim’s passion is to be commended, but it’s rather counter productive to call everyone else lazy.

SOP, it is ALWAYS the fault of whiny ass progressives/liberals, don’t you know ?
Why the state of Kentucky is overrun with them, don’t you know?We need to continue sending blue dogs to the House and Senate, that is our only hope, don’t you know?
Go, Ben.
Go, Dr. Dan.So, they will not support Obama’s agenda? Who cares? At least they have a (D) behind their name, don’t you know?

I agree with both your points. That’s why I added my observation. But I also completely agree with Jim on the point that now is the time for everyone to get off the couch. And heaven help us if we don’t.

Heaven will not help.
On one level, we must return to a christian understanding popular in the 1800′s to be rescued by heaven.
On another, there is no heaven. Religeon is just another narcotic; subduing the masses and fooling them into a useless or futile belief system that keeps their hate in place to manage their concommitant behavior
On the third … there is no heaven — period. god is the figment of the imagination of the great political con artists over the centuries. What started as an innocent explanation of all the phenomenon around us, lacking the scientific education we now command, they are so firmly entrenched that their voodoo is so full of inertial chaos that there may not be enough entropy in the universe to overcome their ignorance and superstition.
Rescue by heaven is a non-starter!
