Reply #93: Her lastest manifesto is, er, interesting

[MADem]

She says some things that are, to put it kindly, factually off the wall. I really think she is being used, and the more I read her writings, the more concerned I am for her well-being, frankly. Just a month and a half ago she was ready to leave the Peace Movement, "Goodbye, America" she said, she wanted to spend time with family and conserve her scarce resources.

And all that "we" talk sounds to me like she's got some good "friends" who are helping her spend the money she got from the sale of that patch of land by BushCoVille in TX. There is no "nice" way to put this--some of this comments she makes sound like they are coming from a disordered individual. The run on sentences, the absurd and false assertions--this latest opus is far worse than the "take ball, go home" one of a month and a half ago: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/7/9/92356/44191

I was a life-long Democrat only because the choices were limited. The Democrats are the party of slavery and were the party that started every war in the 20th Century except the other Bush debacle. The Federal Reserve, permanent federal (and unconstitutional) income taxes, Japanese Concentration Camps and, not one, but two atom bombs dropped on the innocent citizens of Japan were brought to us via the Democrats. Don’t tell me the Democrats are our “Saviors” because I am not buying it especially after they bought and purchased more caskets and more devastating pain when they financed and co-facilitated more of George’s abysmal occupation and they are allowing a melt down of our representative Republic by allowing the evils of the executive branch to continue unrestrained by their silent complicity. Good change has happened during Democratic regimes, but as in the civil rights and union movements, the positive changes occurred because of the people not the politicians.

I have nothing personally against Nancy and have found our previous interactions very pleasant but being “against” the occupation of Iraq means ending it by ending the funding and preventing future illegal wars of aggression by holding BushCo accountable. Words have to be backed up by action and if they aren’t they are as empty as Cheney’s conscience.

If Ms. Pelosi does her Constitutional and moral duty by July 23rd, then I believe some balance will be restored to the universe and my organization, People for Humanity can carry on with our humanitarian projects, if she doesn’t we will carry on anyway with a campaign to run to boot. I hope this challenges other people who desire healthy political change and not temporary band-aids to replace other Democrats and Republicans who do not conform to the beatitudes of peace, sustainability and the rule of law for everybody, not just poor, or marginalized persons.

I don’t have the power to destroy the Democratic Party as some people have written. The Dems themselves are doing a good job of that and if they don’t wake up and distance themselves from George faster than the Republicans are and if they don’t realize that people are more important than politics, they will go the way of the Whigs and sometimes endings are as appropriate and constructive as beginnings.

I wouldn’t put myself in this if I were not serious and committed to making America a better country than we have now and holding people to a much higher standard than politics as usual. I am rested, restored to health and ready to rumble and realize that if ever there was a time for politics as unusual, it is now!

Gee, last time I checked, Hitler and Hirohito weren't Dems, were they? And she's suddenly to the right of Attila the Hun on the issue of taxes? Who's she listening to, you gotta wonder?

If you read her entire diary, you see a real change in her writing style, her comments, and the change isn't for the better. She doesn't get a unanimous "Three Cheers" over at Kos though--she gets a lot of "You're batshit crazy, " and "Don't run" and "Go away." They're much meaner over there than people are over here, frankly. She's been "Troll rated" over there (whatever that means--I gather it isn't good).

Her so-called advisors and friends ought to be ashamed of themselves. If she deconstructs, and to my view, she is well on her way, it's on their hands. I think that using a Gold Star Mother for craven, fringe political reasons is lower than low, myself.
