pink...ko? Jodie Evans

Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too. ~Voltaire
Here is a feisty interview with the sometimes breathless anti-war activist Jodie Evans. I know that she is considered the extreme and is often demonized, vilified and shares countless views and some actions that I wouldn't endorse. But....in light of Jesus's words in Revelation 3:15-16...she is hot!
And I can appricaite Hot or Cold in these 'lukewarm' days.

"These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth." -Jesus

Jodie is a co-founder of the anti-war group CODEPINK. In October 2009, after returning from a trip to Afghanistan, she hand-delivered a petition to President Obama from Afghan women against the surge. Reviled by conservatives and a thorn in the side of liberals, she is unapologetic in her beliefs and committed to stopping wars fought in the name of the US. She shares her experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan, her formative years working for then California governor Jerry Brown and her hopes for the future."I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." ~Voltaire
Yes, here is Jody with her Codepink partner Medea Benjamin stirring up trouble during the Republican convention when Sarah Palin was speaking.

"In politics if you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman." -Margaret Thatcher
