We Will Not Give Up

From a BuzzFlash Reader:
Dear BuzzFlash,
I woke up to the news that the Republicans have now evidently swept the government in Washington.
Let us hold our heads high and remember who we BuzzFlash readers are -- we are patriotic Americans, we believe in the rights and dignity of mankind.
We will continue to hold to our convictions.
We will start a new day, today. We will look for new and better leadership.
We won't waste time feeling defeated and angry.
We will congratulate all the democrats who prevailed in yesterday's elections and remind them who they work for.
We will not give up.
A Loyal Reader

From BuzzFlash:
This is our pledge from BuzzFlash: "No, We Won't Give Up!"
Democracy can't afford falling into a depression over the Bush Cartel routing of the Democrats in a mid-term election.
Democracy demands that we continue battling for what is great about this country.
Democracy demands that we not be dismayed by those who would dismantle our government services; shred the Constitution; trample on our civil liberties; shift the nation's money even more to the wealthy; and create a permanent war, turning the young people of our country into cannon fodder.
Most importantly, democracy and patriotism demand that we fight for a true nation of equality, not just one aimed at refighting the Civil War on behalf of ante-bellum Southern "Values."
Democracy demands that the timid leadership of the Democratic Party be replaced -- and that the Democrats abandon their Neville Chamberlain politics of appeasement -- and start fighting for America and American values.
Democracy demands that the Democrats loudly and vigorously expose the lies, opportunism and Dr. Strangelove-like foreign policy of the Bush Cartel. No charge can go unanswered; no lie can go unexposed; no policy harmful to Americans can go unchallenged.
Democracy demands that we keep vigilant in pressuring the lap dog press to accurately report on the news. They are subject to pressure, particularly as to their factual errors and omissions, because their "veneer of credibility" is necessary for their "brand" survival.
As for BuzzFlash, we continue to do our part 24 hours a day for a simple reason: Democracy is worth fighting for.
And we have not yet begun to fight.

Final Note: We will personally pay for any Democrat who will undergo a spinal transplant to replace bones of jelly with bones of steel.
