(5,178 posts)Beliefs and values are cool and all but in the face of power, elections and money they waver and fall. Time and time again. At a time when we should be pushing further and further from the Wall St scorched earth strategy we seem even more beholden to it.
When we should be most anti-war we seem almost complacent about it.
We have just lived through one of the worst Presidential eras of American history. A time when criminals, speculators, charlatans, sadists and war pigs ravaged our hearts and minds and futures like never before. I want to remove every shred of its memory from our law books and shine a bright light on all the insects who profited from the lies and the horrific loss of lives.
I know the progressive liberals I meet personally and read here still care passionately about the issues that made them Democrats to begin with. I want to see the things that bring us together and that have made us the party we were in the past celebrated. Not relegated to the little kids table.
I believe in Obama. He is our President. He must be re-elected. But once that is done we need to figure out what just what we stand for and what we will stand for.
