If this ever becomes a book, it will become a collector's item.
What a lot of us are missing is that there is a revolution happening right under our noses.
Glossly corporate-produced marketing gimmicks are on their way out as real people rebel against all that junk.
Ah... And what's worse here is the hypocrisy. Had Dean received such an endorsement, there would be ahs and oohs of admiration but none of the other candidates could receive such an endorsement because they are not really for the people and of the people the way Kucinich is.
Even if Kucinich doesn't win, he represents a Revolution happening right under our noses- it's too bad some people are missing it but I am not surprised. Notice that none of the real DU leftists are in this thread knocking it. The same people knocking it the loudest are the same ones who either defended, or are still defending, the DLC the loudest- marshmallow Democrats who swing whichever way the wind blows.
Rise up is the message and it's being heard loud and clear in the streets by the same people who have been taking their kids to antiwar marches for over a year. The revolution will either happen quietly and in a spiritual manner too many in this thread have shown they don't have the depth to appreciate or in a violent manner. Nader was right- it will
really have to get worse before it can get better. It's bad enough right now but too many people are still falling for the illusion that "same ole, same ole Democrats" offer anything different than what the Republicans are offering. A few larger crumbs that's all... It is nice that many internauts haven't been hungry long enough to need more than crumbs but what we're missing is that an impressive number of Americans need more than crumbs because they've been hungry so much longer.
I weep for my country when I foresee what's going to be happening. I weep when I think that many of us will be wringing our hands in a few years when our intelligence allows us to look back on these years and realize how we missed the opportunity to choose good over evil. I hope that doesn't happen but in order to ward it off, decent people like
Will Pitt who were moved by Dennis must put their brain in sync with their heart and start using their words to give real support to the only candidate out there who has really understood what's taking place in this world and has a plan to ease us into the gentle transition that good-hearted Americans deserve.
There is another way and many of us are teaching the children that there is a better way than what the corporate media tries to sell us, that there are better men in the system who are belittled and marginalized because they represent what the people want and not what the corporations like.
You go Dennis! Keep trying to lead America to a new place so that the revolution doesn't become bloody.
If this becomes a published book, I will be ordering 2 copies for each child I love- one for them to read and one autographed copy to save as a momento of the epoch in which the spiritual & populist revolution began in this country.
It's sad to see so many fellow DUers, self-proclaimed Liberals, missing it but I am not surprised at the names of the people I am seeing mocking this since I don't recognize those as people who ever got out in the streets and raised their fists saying no.
Rock on Dennis. The Revolution is with you even if many of my fellow
real street activists consider you part of the system we are rising up against.
You are either with the revolution or you are not... and sadly too many of us at DU are too comfortably ensconced in yuppie internaut life-styles to even realize what's going on in the streets of the world.
No, no, you may not like my words but I am nothing more than a messenger telling you that the people will not go gently into the night. They are raging against the machine and the rage is too real to be assuaged by the fast talking slick car salesmen that internauts are falling for.
When: MONDAY, AUGUST 20th @ 12:00 p.m (NOON)
Where: 12400 Wilshire Blvd. 4 blocks west of Bundy.
On July the 20th activist Carlo Giuliani was murdered by Italian police who fired two gunshots into his head during the protests against the G 8 summit in Genova. On July the 21st the Diaz public school, which gave shelter to activists, was also been stormed by police forces.
The activists who were in it at that time,some of them asleep,were brutaly beaten and seriously injured. Some nearly died and a lot of them will have to deal with the physical and mental damage that this act of terror did to them for the rest of their lives. In the police stations arrested people have been systematically tortured by the cops. In the days after the summit, the police continues their hunt for activists and arbitrarily arrests people. There have been over 500 arrests, over 40 activists are still in jail in Italy. This is the present climax of repression against the new global anti capitalist movement in the western hemisphere.
Activists are gathering at Italian embassies all over the world to protest the police killing of Carlo Giuliani, the brutal police repression, and against the policies of the G8.
Rally in front of the Italian Consulate in Los Angeles to protest the murdering of our brother Carlo Giuliani by the fascist world capitalist forces, and to show solidarity with all G8 protesters, and the movement against corporate globalization.
The western "democracies" are no exception; they employ means of police terror,when those in power face effective resistance. Yet their repression only shows that they do not act in the interest of people, but in the interest of securing the current (oppressive) state of the world. We must seize this opportunity to rise up and restore democracy by continuously setting a world time and date for a World-Wide General Strike. We will take no more! Our comrade Carlo will not be forgotten! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Let this be an international day of action in solidarity with our fallen comrades in G8, and to express outrage against corporate globalization!
