This will inspire you. It sure inspired me. 40 inspirational speeches in 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Let me know what you think of it.
I wrote a transcript because it’s so awesome:
Will you fight? “No, we will run! And we will live.”
Shame on you!
This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re gonna let it be the worst.
And I guarantee a week won’t go by in your life you won’t regret walking out, letting them get the best of you.
Well, I’m not going home.
We’ve gone too far!
And I’m going to stay right here and fight for this lost cause.
A day may come when the courage of men fails, but it is not this day.
A line must be drawn here! This far, no further!
I’m not saying it’s going to be easy.
You’re going to work harder than you’ve ever worked before.
But that’s fine, we’ll just get tougher winning!
A person grits his teeth, and shows real determination.
Failure is Not an option!
That’s how winning is done!
Believe me when I say,
We can break this army here.
And win just one for the giver.
But I say to you what every warrior has known since the beginning of time.
You’ve got to get mad.
I mean plum mad dog mean.
If you would be free men then you must
Fight to fulfill that promise! Let us
Cut out their living guts.
One inch at a time.
And they will know what we can do!
HOO!
Let no man forget how menacing we are. We are Lions!
Like a big bear, man!
This is Your time!
Sieze the day.
Never surrender.
Victory or death!
That’s the Chicago way.
Who’s with me!?
Clap. Clap! Don’t let Tink die! Clap!
Alright!
Let’s Fly!
And gentlemen in England now abed
Will Know my name is the LORD when I
Tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take
Our Independence Day!Found at Infidelicacy, Thanks!
Freethinkers, Atheists, Agnostics, all people who cherish their rights and freedoms, we must unite! We must find common ground and common cause. We must eschew apathy as the evil it is and rally for justice, common sense, reason, science, skepticism and critical thinking!
It’s happening, slowly. We must encourage and nurture this brave cause against the enemy of mindless, hypocritical religious bullies.
Will you be the problem? Will you wallow in apathy and ignorance? Will you let the senseless automatons controlled by their religious leaders keep you in the dark shadows under their jackboot of fear, repression and false morals?
Or are you part of the solution? Will you stand tall and proud? Free of gods, myths and fairy tales, free to think clearly and independently? The choice is yours.
In that vein I would like to have one symbol, an atheism logo or a freethinking logo that would encompass the whole idea, to help us come together and make us all stronger than we could ever be alone. Maybe an atheist creed, or a freethinking creed. Something we can all get behind. I wonder if such things are possible. I would like to think they are. Suggestions, ideas and comments are Always welcome.
Man, I had to steal this and put it in my Live Journal! It definitely made me laugh–but I’m a cynical old cow anyway.
I kind of like that big old red A that is floating around. It’s much better than the old American Atheists logo, which I never liked because it was clunky and looked like a fallout shelter sign.

Hi Laura, thanks for the comment. I like the big red A too. I also like the Invisible Pink Unicorn, but it’s not as universal. I think the Red A is the best, really, with what’s out there now though.

I love “Heaving Dead Cats”! I especially liked this battle cry. I am with you on uniting. I will stand up and fight.
I run a logo of the Darwin fish and American Atheists on the back of my truck to get the word out to fence sitters and the young. It doesn’t matter to me how you advertise, just do it.
When I am feeling especially foul, I will write something like, “DOLE IS A BIGOT” with a removable white marker on the back window to get the word out. I live in NC. HA! Censor THAT!
Thanks for a most excellent site!
I am looking forward to coming back.

Hi River Otter!
Welcome to HDC and thanks very much for your comment. Ah, you bring up a good point. It is important to get the word out to the young. To at least let them know the brainwashing of their parents and church is not the only way to think.
Keep up the good work and come back soon!
