Obama Assault Weapons Ban Proposal Recalls Memories Of 1994 Battle

Thank you.  I hadn't read it, but it's excellent.  

I just take issue with the author's belief that the Democratic Party can be saved (turned populist, working in the interests of the People) from within.  I and many others have been where the author, L.R. Runner, now is for the past twenty years and the Republican-wing of the Democratic Party has more of a grip on the Democratic Party than ever.  

Even now, with all of Obama's betrayals, the cadre of progressives that gets media exposure supports Obama while expressing "disappointment" with him.  Obama doesn't give a chit about their "disappointment".  Their "disappointment" works in his favor.  They can stay "disappointed", it doesn't interfere with anything he's doing.  They should be calling people to hit the streets and march on Washington with torches and pitchforks.

Not a smooth segue, but I think Chris Hedges is the most relevant journalist around today.  See if you agree:
