Civil liberties disappear in the 2012 Democratic platform.

[Summer Hathaway]

56. Knew it wouldn't be too long

before the ol' Label-Maker got dragged out.

New Democrats, Conservadems, Third Wayers, etc.

Do you want a loyalty oath taken by DU members who have the unmitigated gall to support their Party and their President on an (allegedly) Democratic website, a solemn oath to stand with the self-appointed 'true progressives' or be labelled as "New Dems" or some-such pointless name, as a result of not lock-stepping along with those who they disagree with - or, more to the point, those they see right through?

"Thou shalt not question anything said or done by anyone who declares themselves to be a true progressive on a political message board."

As I've said before, those who have appointed themselves the arbiters of who is progressive, who is a liberal, who is a true Democrat are not now, and have never been, in a position to do so. And their arrogance in pretending they are in such a position is tiresome at best, boring in the extreme, and is blatantly divisive in its intent.

Now while you get back to your Label-Maker, I am going to get back to watching my party and my president win this election.
