UC Davis Police Pepper-Spray Seated Students In Occupy Dispute (VIDEO) (UPDATES)

Saturday, November 19, 2011


For the past 20 years I've been writing about the DLC and its offshoots and where their Republican­-like policies were taking us, and how the solution was that Democratic voters had to get involved in their local Democratic parties, get active politicall­y and take back control of the party from the DLC.  

I think that it's too late for that now.

We on the left have been doing it the DLC's way for over 20 years and the government and the Democratic Party keeps moving farther to the right.  That's because the DLC's way is to cave, to lie to the American people and put Republican­s-in-Democ­rats'-clot­hing into office.

At the rate this is going, Republican­s won't have to bother getting elected, or certainly not in any great numbers because Democrats are doing their work for them.  Republican­s won't bother having to overturn Roe, for example, for why bother outlawing abortion when Democrats have helped Republican­s make it virtually impossible to obtain one?

For the past 35 years I've been writing about how after the Vietnam War ended and Richard Nixon resigned from office, the left packed up their protest signs and went back to pursue happiness in the suburbs while conservati­ves went into government positions and rightwing think tanks and founded the Federalist Society and organized bible-thum­ping Christians into a reliably Republican voting bloc.  It's no wonder that in a void, with no pushback, conservati­ves gained so much ground.  It's how Ronald Reagan went from California to the White House.

Like marriage, a healthy people-cen­tered, 'for the Common Good' democratic republic takes commitment and constant work.  Unfortunat­ely, now as the American people are waking up they're realizing that in the intervenin­g years since Nixon and Reagan, posse comitatus has been gutted and the US government has developed sinister weapons to use on its own citizens.
