I believe I'm as liberal as anyone on DU, but I'm concerned.

12. Sounds sensible but is built on a foundation of sand. We are losing ground and dangerously fast.

Losing big economically, civil liberties are way under siege, we are steadily loosing control of our governance to multi-national corporations, schools and prisons privatized, more free trade deals sought, the ranks of the homeless swell, folks owe more but own less, labor withers, and we are doing massive damage to our environment.

"A lot less liberal" is getting beside the point. We are losing what we have, not gaining ground. A little rearranging of the cabins and deck chairs for more equitable arrangements on the sinking vessel.

Shit, there is a trial balloon or some jacked up deal offered up to the TeaPubliKlans from DEMOCRATS damn near constantly.

Come to terms with the people are being used for extraction and driven into poverty while being transformed from citizen to consumer to subject to fodder and that must not be "come to terms with".
All this goofy ass just cheer for the team and take what you get is nonsensical, we are talking life and liberty here, this isn't some entertainment or something to do.

Letters next to names when they answer to same fuckers doesn't make a whole lot of difference save social equality issues after the public gets ahead of them and rhetoric. The list used to include responsible governance but the movie to rule via crisis makes that an oxymoron.

This "plan" is bullshit, a political pacifier. Standard Lanny Davis shtick.
