I learned the internet on DU I learned computers on DU.
Now I'm a moderator at one of the biggest Democratic discussion
boards on the internet. The road here has been a long painful
traumatic,enlightened, empowering , enraging , educating
experience. I've cried , I've marched , I was interviewed
by the local high school newspaper and had my picture on
the front page below the fold . all because of a support
the troops sign , a gadsden flag ,and a bushoccio doll in
my front yard .
I've been told to my face by a hateful woman that I should be hung
for treason . I've been flipped off yelled at and you know what I
FUCKING YELL BACK , I've called them cowards , I've asked them "why
aren't you in Iraq?"
I've had mothers / sisters and fathers of soldiers thank me
through tears and they needed to somehow express their gratitude
for my caring about their loved one life . Hearing their fear
and outrage at bush and the other people who use the military
as pawns . I've been followed from my car into the grocery store
just to be told I love your Car Thank You .
I've been told that I have courage and that I am brave and THANK YOU
more times than I can recall .
I've had notes left on my car calling me the most hurtful things .
I've had notes left on my car telling me right on , even had someone
left a cool bumper sticker under my windshield wiper.
My car has been keyed , kicked , punched , Had a fog lamp kicked in
and tires oh the tires ....
I've had yard signs stolen and returned vandalized . I've been sent
hatemail . There's a file down at the local police station which
contains documatation of it all.
I had this one lady take a picture of my car from the front going down
the road . Bush is a liar is written in huge white letters across the
front of my car (backward on the windshield and frontward on the bumper)
Basically my life has completely changed and now I fight to defend
my countrymen from evils they know not . However more and more
are waking I do have hope for the future . I must for my sons sake
continue to hope and fight for a better future filled with peace and
stability .
Peace Out
proud patriot
