DU/gd, I'm *proud* of myself as a DU/Dem: Today I was (yes, I'll GO THERE: ) Rosa PARKS!1

It's one thing to come here and gripe "ain't it awful" and not DO anything. So today on the local radio wingnut talkshow I called-in and challenged a jack-a/a-hole WINGNUT GUN jerk.

Really, I'm shy and don't like to stick my neck out, but then I told myself, you have to have the BALLS of your convictions, and I STOOD UP to freaking THREE PLUS A GUEST wingnuts all by myself, and I probably made a fool of myself, but F***'em!!

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d...

Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day.

Shakespeare, Henry V, Act IV Scene iii 18-67

I am very shy too, but I just had to set the record straight, and I'm glad I did. If we don't challenge these people, no one will hear our side. Thank you for speaking up! Be very proud.
