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.

How to Stop an Abortion Clinic Protest in 45 Minutes

posted Saturday, 16 July 2005
By my hero for today, Kenevan McConnon at Dkos.

First, photograph all of the Operation Rescue protesters, their cars and license plates. Be really obvious what you are doing.

Second, call the property owners where their cars are parked and let the property owners know that they have twenty anti-abortion protesters trespassing on their property and assembling disgusting 6'x8' signs depicting dismembered fetuses on their property. This property owner calls in the tow trucks.

Third, call the police, so they can save your ass if things get too rough.

Fourth, wade into the crowd and start yelling "Jesus is love! Stop the Hate!" Don't stop until somebody hits you.

Fifth, hope the cops are there to stop the developing melee.

Sixth, yell "Help, they are assaulting me," when they lose it and start attacking you.

Watch with an incredible sense of satisfaction as the cops shut down the demonstration after only forty-five minutes and send everybody home whose car hasn't been towed.

Walk back to your car, buy a six pack, and enjoy a beautiful afternoon sitting on your deck watching the eagles hunt prairie dogs and rabbits behind your house.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is a thing well worth celebrating.
