Right on! No need to ever apologize for wanting a better future, a fairer society, and recognizing that we all do better we WE ALL do better.

I come from a traditional Dem family, who fought in almost every war and theater this country has been involved, who don't feel like they have to ask to have their patriotism "validated" because they wanted and fought for fairer labor. My family taught me to cherish education and seek exposure to other cultures, they felt that taking care of your fellow man is not something to be ashamed of, but something that we are supposed to do because our goal in life is not to sink other people in misery just so that we can feel better about ourselves in a relative way. I was taught to make money the old fashioned way: by earning it. And that making money for the hell of making money is a silly thing to do, the goal is to live a full life not owning as much crap made in china as you can. That respect is earned not granted. That the amazing diversity that we have in this country is something to cherish because it is a beacon of hope to other people to know that everyone from every corner in the world can come here to better themselves and in the process making us even better... not something that is a hinderance. And that it will be a cold day in hell before I have to kneel before anyone nor kiss anyone's ass regardless of who or what they are.

The DLC types can kiss my ass for all I care, and they should stop being such chickenshits and fill out the GOP application already.
