In reply to the discussion: The latest "banning" (NYC_SKP) is an interesting lesson on REPUTATION. [View all]LiberalArkie
(15,719 posts)they say they are liberal Democratic people but they are liberal in the corporate sense. They desire liberalism to die. Do you think that after President Obama's term is over that a real Liberal black man can be elected? People will talk about how that "Liberal black president" sent even more jobs off shore than that "Liberal" Clinton did. They will talk about how that black president rallied congress for the Patriot act. I had hoped that he was the person we voted for. I think that Obama may be the last Democratic candidate for many years.
I hoped the we could vote for a liberal woman for president. But at the present that does not look like how it will be. The reason I feat Hillary, is that I fear that if she is elected, there will not be a liberal woman candidate for many years. It may end up being death of liberalism in America. I am not against blacks or women in office, I am (probably like NYC_SKP) afraid of what these pro-business at any cost, anti-liberalism pro-conservative democrats are doing to the party of Will Rogers, FDR and Jimmy Carter. Because I do remember when the Clintons and the Democratic party would not be seen with Jimmy Carter. I remember a lot of people here on DU laughing at Carter (such a country bumpkin), not acting presidential by being out building houses for the poor and helping the poor in Africa.
But I am an old fart, what do I know. Been punched too many times, and too accustomed to the feel of black jacks and fire hoses.
