Then go. Just be quiet about it while the adults try to do the fighting for you.

I have extreme doubts about the political process. We should really start using dem tactics against them. Picket their houses, picket their kid's schools. Cuss them out whenever they show their faces in public. Find a reason to sue them in court for anything and everything. Basically make life a living hell for those POS until their wives leave them and they have a nervous breakdown. We are being way too civil about this.
Running spares the humiliation that comes with the inevitable surrender. This fight is over. Some know it, some are taking their time before accepting it. It is over.
Coon skin hats and childish terminology like 'fartbongo' and 'libtard' didn't accomplish ANYTHING. While folks sat around thinking of asinine childish names to call O'Malley and crew, they got busy beating the hell out of us.
And all the mispronounced Greek slogans you want to wave on flags won't change the fact that when the laws roll through, people will either run or kneel.

Are you on our side? I only ask because that does not even work for the left. Never did.
Last time I checked, it is their SOP. Last time I checked, they have been winning in MD for the last 40 yrs. The point is that we are way too nice. They say crap like we want children to die. They say we are animals or ignorant gun clutching racists. I have always been one to push back when pushed. All I'm saying is there is a value to being high brow and making an intelligent argument. There is value to showing people how civilized we can be. However there is also value to saying that if a red line is crossed, then all standards of civility are null and void.
What we saw in that committee meeting, was the absence of respect. The absence of representation. The absence of intelligence. They have proven they no longer deserve our respect.

Look, I get your points. I understand this is a legal fight. As such, we must resort to legal means to fight their agenda. We must work within the system to stifle their continue encroachment on our liberties.
HOWEVER... rational discussion and arguing the merits only works when someone is willing to listen. I feel like they aren't listening. We rocked Annapolis like they have never seen, yet they pushed this crap through anyway. I feel like they have an agenda and they no longer give a damn about logic or facts. They no longer care about our arguments or our emails and phone calls. Hopefully I am wrong bc once someone stops listening, I have always found the only way to get them to respect your position is to put a boot through their chest.
Now is not the time for violence or threats or any other such low-brow behavior. But at some point the lawyers and activists need to send a message that this isn't just a piddling argument on the subtle meaning of some clause. They need to send the message that legislators are on notice to leave us the F*&k alone. Stop trampling on our lives. We are not their damn subjects and we demand that they respect us. They haven't just pushed the limits of some imaginary line- they have completely spit on The Constitution and their position is unacceptable to a functional society.
As such, SEND A DAMN MESSAGE AND STOP BEING SO NICE!!!!
*I realize I have a case of redass. I also realize that I am from an area of the country where we take care of crap like this in days, not years. As such, I will defer to the more level headed and legal minded among us. I would feel much more confident in the process if we made a statement that had them shaking and pissing down their legs, instead of cackling and laughing as they pass through a bill that is utterly disgusting. Maybe when they are cracking up and chucklebumming with each other, maybe just maybe, being subtle and artistic with one's insults don't quite get the message across.
