I do guerrilla warfare. I paint my face and travel at night. You don't know it's over until you're in a body bag."
-- Ralph Reed
I got this quote from Lisa Baron's sexy tell-all, "Life of the Party: A Political Press Tart Bares All". One may want to take it with a grain of salt, but I am standing by it.
Ralph Reed, of course, is the baby face, born-again fundamentalist who became the first executive director of the Christian Coalition, and no doubt proudly bears a lot of responsibility for giving us the hardline Christian Right that we know so well today. The quote could be from either the eighties or nineties. That doesn't narrow it down a lot, but let's just call it recent American history.
I feel funny about busting open a new tag to get quotes from American history with Ralph Reed, as opposed to getting a quote from, say, George Washington or Abraham Lincoln, but that's the way it goes. I don't read history nowadays, no longer feeling that sort of intellectual ambition, being content to rest my pride on my fondness for higher literature. But, as is the case here, one sometimes stumbles upon a little gem from the great American past, and I may as well have a net to scoop them up in.
