A Progressive Warrior Queen-Isn't That an Oxymoron?


In case you don't know the story of Boadicea (Boudicca), in a nutshell it goes like this.

Boadicea's tribe, the Iceni, lived peacefully as a client tribe under Roman rule. After her husband's death corrupt Roman officials reneged on the agreement that left the Iceni in peace. When Boadicea, still the leader of her tribe, went to protest this, she was flogged and her daughters were raped before her eyes.

She returned to her tribe and raised a rebellion against the Romans that was short lived, brutal, and ended in her death.

Understand, I'm not looking to raze Colchester, or leave piles of bodies behind me. However, the Radical Right Religionists and the Corporate sponsors of the Chattel Society have declared war on us who are "others".

 
I say we fight back.  Right now, I'm fighting back primarily at Texas Kaos. Please come join me.

Conference Will Have to Do Without Delay

« H E Boadicea :: email

Yesterday, he was a keynote speaker. Today, he's been scrubbed from the conference website:
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS INCLUDE Congressman Lamar Smith, David C. Gibbs, Esq., attorney for Terri Schiavo's parents, Chief Justice Roy Moore and former Ambassador Alan Keyes. SPEAKERS INCLUDE Alan Keyes, Phyllis Schlafly, Tony Perkins, Mike Farris, Howard Phillips, Bill Dannemeyer, Morton Blackwell, Bill Federer, Rick Scarborough, Don Feder, Kay Daly, Janet Folger, Jan LaRue, Tim Lee and Patrick Reilly.
Hope they don't mind making do with second (maybe third) string. Though as the Bugman J.G. is a member of the House Working Group on Judicial Accountability I'm sure they'll find him receptive if even less colorful than the King of Chicken Shit Social Conservatism, Thomas Dale Delay.
