You have heard of being Borked. I think we are ready for a response from loyal Americans. Now we can be Penced or Pence someone. What it means is taking a public stand based on principle. It means the risk of being mocked and refusing to compromise with people who want to destroy all that is good about America.
When you are at a school board meeting and they want to do away with the current boys and girls bathrooms you can respond one of two ways. If you have good self control, you can stand up and leave after casting a look of disgust at the board chairman. Excuse me, chairperson. If you are more spontaneous, you can break out in hysterical chortling, struggle to your feet and laugh your way out. Let them know they have been Penced. You can later withdraw your children from public school and home school them.
If you are at a church meeting and you have someone recommend that saving whales is more important than saving babies, call for a vote. If the congregation votes to send a contribution to Green Peace and consider abortion a matter of personal choice it is time to leave. If you want a capital letter Pence you can write Ichabod over the door on you way out.
We need to get active in Pencing. Too long have we been silent, courteous and respecting of the feelings of others. They have taken it for victory and if we don’t start Pencing, they will be right.
Stand up and be counted, then walk out.

You are right. I often vote with my feet, but am silent about it. It would be better to say something as I walk out.
ReplyDeleteOr at least walk real loud with an obvious attitude.
