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.

We've Already Won in Ohio

« H E Democrats and Allies :: Freepublican Hash :: Domestic Issues :: Boadicea :: email
posted Monday, 1 August 2005
Ohio-2's perfect storm comes (among many other things) from the bitter experience of 2004, the crucible of a war we should never have asked our soldiers to fight, kill, and die in, and a grassroots "Reform Democrat" movement invigorated by but not limited to the Blogosphere.

Of course the Republican Party helped by demonstrating how corrupt and arrogant and stupid they are.

No matter what the vote count is tomorrow, and I hope for the best, I really do, we've already won.

But it's not the last battle we'll face. We'll need to start preparing for the next one August 3.

God, do I hope you're right! Time will tell, I suppose. I hope your day in Texas is as bright and happy as it is here in Vegas!

Thanks for reading!
