Heroism is daily commitment to integrity.
The voice of reason against a howling mob.
Harry Taylor spoke to dumbya in Charlotte today:
“You never stop talking about freedom, and I appreciate that. But while I listen to you talk about freedom, I see you assert your right to tap my telephone, to arrest me and hold me without charges, to try to preclude me from breathing clean air and drinking clean water and eating safe food. If I were a woman, you’d like to restrict my opportunity to make a choice and decision about whether I can abort a pregnancy on my own behalf…
… I have never felt more ashamed of, nor more frightened by my leadership in Washington, including the presidency, by the Senate…
… I feel like despite your rhetoric, that compassion and common sense have been left far behind during your administration, and I would hope from time to time that you have the humility and the grace to be ashamed of yourself inside yourself.“
[Ed. 1/22/2012: dumbya’s handlers made sure this never happened again by restricting attendance of future “town hall meetings” to confirmed sycophants… ummm… supporters.]
