I'm sick of our party being filled with cowards. I'm sick of the US Senate cowering before a President with who's proven himself to be a liar and has an approval rating in the 30s.
I've already written and called my Senators cowards, but it just doesn't seem to be enough. I want to send them a token of their cowardice, something that shows them how disgusted we are with them. I want to flood the Capitol with something.
I'm searching the net, and the only token I see is the white feather used in the Heath Ledger movie, the Four Feathers.
I guess we could send feathers, but it doesn't seem to say what I'd like.
Interestingly, Wikipedia lists the military definition of Cowardice as Misbehavior Before the Enemy" and includes such acts as:
* Running away from an enemy; (Check.)
* Abandoning, surrendering or otherwise fleeing any post that the soldier is tasked with defending; (Constitution. Check.)
* Endangering the safety of any post that the soldier is responsible for through disobedience, neglect or willful misconduct while in combat; (I think we've got that, too.)
* Discarding arms or ammunition while in combat; (They've got a vote in the US Senate. Check.)
* Abandoning combat to plunder or loot or commit other crimes; (Ooooh, big check there.)
* Willfully failing to do all within the soldier's power to fight or defend when it is his duty to do so, while in combat; (I consider this a war. Check.)
* Refusing to give any needed aid or relief to fellow troops while in combat; or (How about relief to fellow Americans?)
* Performing other unspecified acts of "cowardly conduct" while in combat.
According to the UCMJ, the maximum punishment for cowardice is the death penalty. Cowardice can, by definition, only be charged during a time of and in an area of armed conflict.
Maybe we could convict them in our own little court and send them a notice that they'd been tried by their constituents and judges as cowards.
Anybody else have an idea? I really want to send something. They've hidden and stayed quiet long enough. They need to know we're not going to take it anymore.
