Reply #103: pretty much hogwash.

1) any suggestion that our government is not broken is laughable.

2) negativism is relative. for example, it is obvious that you are negativistic toward people who think
that the u.s. government continues to represent a workable system. in the absence of any objective
truth on the subject, you're as negative as anyone else. you dress up your language in "positive" clothes
but your goal is to destroy your opposition.

3) destruction is not an inherently negative thing. witness nazi germany or feudalism or slavery, for example,

3) your post is a transparent propagation of the meme that opposition to our government is negative.

4) i'll see your henny penny with one pollyanna.

5) your post is full of baseless assertions, like "We have a viable system of govt......"

6) the first step in crippling our system is to not fix anything.

7) your "all is lost" type quotes with conflates opposition to government and general doom and gloom. though you
apparently do not consider it, one may be completely pessimistic regarding our government while being completely
hopeful for the future.

8) what is becoming unavoidably clear is that there is an organized group on du whose goal is to destroy left wing
opposition to obama's rightism.
