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.

The Anti-"Nuke" Movement in the Senate

posted Friday, 18 March 2005

In politics as in physics, everying that goes up must come down. The Republican leadership should not make the classic political mistake
of assuming that because they are now ascendant that they will only
continue to rise.

The DNC petition against the "nuclear" option is available to sign for anyone who believes in the checks and balances our government has benefitted from for so many years.

Yes, the DNC is using it to build their mailing list and they'll gladly relieve you of any excess cash in your pockets. But hey, they already have my address, and once I pay down my credit cards I was already planning on sending a little more cash.

Right now, government is not working the way it ought to. Take every opportunity to push things back to the balance of power that protects the rights of all people now and in future generations.
