Reply #21: Moore Was Being Trashed? [View All]

On DU? I musta missed that one.

I think our diversity and our passions bring different views on similar issues. DU is young and old, men and women, gay and straight, black, hispanic, native American and many other groups. It's wealthy and poor and it's, above all, instant and wide reaching. It is instant contact with many different people and an alternative view that sometimes can be misleading or misunderstood.

Much of what I see here is of frustration...years of being shit upon by this regime, Repugnicans, the corporate media...and yes, Democrats, that looks for a quick fix or a symbol or a "stance" to make a stand, even if its symbolic and wastes valuable time and resources. It's an impatience for change that has been energized by this electronic world we live with...where the outrages pile up daily and the frustrations run deeper.

Many forget how deeply the Democratic party dug itself into a hole...or was pushed there...by this regime and its coporate enablers. A year ago, Gym Teach Denny still ran the House and chances of Democrats coming close to a majority in the Senate were considered "impossible". We couldn't even get a floor vote in the House on any Democratic motion. Look at where we are now.

We're on a long road from the wilderness and it is sure to be slow and full of landmines. But I'm determined, as I hope others here are, that all the crimes and criminals who turned this country into a cesspool will be brought to justice...be it in 6 months, a year, 5 years or longer.

Most of us stand on the same side on a vast majority of the issues...it's the tactic to enact real change that some of us differ on and I appreciate those who view differences in that light. I've learned and grown that way.
