10. I am NOT an Obama "denouncer".
Sat Dec 17, 2011, 06:14 PM
Dec 2011

I AM a Mainstream/Center loyal Working Class FDR/LBJ DEMOCRAT,
and have been for over 46 years.
I denounce "Centrism" and "Triangulation", Republican Appeasement, "seeking Bi-partisan approval", and policy that 20 years ago was Mainstream Conservative Republican Policy.

My choice to "approve" or "disapprove" is simple.
If a Policy moves TOWARD these traditional Democratic Values, I approve:

"In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all—regardless of station, race, or creed.

Among these are:

*The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

*The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

*The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

*The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

*The right of every family to a decent home;

*The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

*The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

*The right to a good education.

All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being." ---FDR, 1044

If a policy moves AWAY from the above traditional Democratic Party Values
I will OPPOSE that policy.

I have NEVER and will never "denounce" President Obama.
He seems a decent person and an excellent father.

I do OPPOSE much of his "Centrist" policy,
and the current conservative direction of the Democratic party Leadership.
THAT is way different from "denouncing".




You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
