The BOrG has spoken.

They have anointed themselves as the sole authority in determining WHAT constitutes rational disagreement with the President,
and WHAT is an irrational spewing of HATE and RACISM.
There is NO Middle Ground,
and NO other options because in the Binary BOrG World,
[font size=4]"If its not Racism, then what is it?"[/font]

In their minds, there is not the possibility of existence for loyal, life-long Working Class Democrats who have NEVER supported Republican Policy no matter WHO is sitting in the Oval Office.

Like being called a "Traitor" by Cheney,
being attacked by the BOrG is a Liberal Democrat honor.
It is like being identified as mainstream FDR/LBJ Working Class Democrat
who has never supported Conservative Republican Policy,
no matter WHO is sitting in the Oval Office.

[font color=firebrick][center]"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans.
I want a party that will STAND UP for Working Americans."
