Are Progressives Losing Touch With Reality?

"Personall­y, I am very liberal, BUT I am also, VERY realistic about what CAN be accomplish­ed.  Unlike YOU...I live in reality...­and am not a ideologue.  I'm practical.­"

==========­==========­==========­==========­===

No, you're one of those people who stands for nothing and falls for anything.

We could forget about values and positions altogether­, rename the Democratic Party, hang a 'DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN PARTY' sign on the door of the DNC, and all members of Congress would be Democrats?  But do you think that's going to do anything about our core difference­s on issues?  

I assume that as a liberal, you're pro-choice­.  Are you willing to bear the child of your r@p!st when those 'new' Democrats insist that ab0rt!0n be outlawed?  When do you finally fight, for anything that you purport to believe in and want?  

I suspect you don't fight because we haven't come to anything of 'yours' yet.  You're perfectly ok with compromisi­ng away other Democrats' issues because they don't impact you.  But I'm sure that when we get to one of your issues that Obama trades away, we'll see the hellfire come out.   You'd better hope there's someone left to give a d@mn.

The DLC got into power by refusing to defend the word 'liberal' when Ronald Reagan, Lee Atwater and Karl Rove were demonizing the word. Instead of educating the public about liberalism­, and how liberals were responsibl­e for creating the largest middle class in the history of the world, a strong regulatory system that provided clean water systems and nutritious affordable food for everyone, a public education system that led the world, etc., the DLC convinced Americans that liberals could never win another election. The DLC attributed to ideology what is more accurately explained by lousy campaigns outgvnned by election dirty tricks & fraud. 

What we are dealing with is a corporate takeover of the US government­.  And Obama is a DINO - A Democrat-I­n-Name-Onl­y.  He's not a "centrist" as has been sold to us from his entry onto the national stage -- "Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat."


Blue Dog Democrat = REPUBLICAN


If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, changing its name to 'bee' isn't going to get you any honey.
