(10,942 posts)No truer words have been written about the far Left. I share most of their goals, but I abhor their child-like grasp of how to make strategic choices. It is clear that ANY Democrat is going to be better for progressive causes that ANY republican, yet the far Left persists in setting back their supposed goals by decades if not centuries. I just want them to take responsibility for electing Bush in 2000 and re-electing Bush in 2004, I don't want to see the fucking cop-outs about Gore's running mate, Gore or Kerry running batter campaigns or the Supreme Court selecting Bush. Even if one can accept the preposterous claim that the Supreme Court handed Bush the 2000 election, the far Left must accept the fact that they fucking put the Supreme Court in position to do as they so gallingly call stealing the election. Elections can be stolen only when a cabal of clueless operators put them in a position to be stolen.
I am tired of the false flags. The NSA has more power because of 9/11 and fear among most of the population of being killed by terrorists, even thought death is more possible when we drive, walk or eat. The far Left elected Bush in 2000, who then ignored critical intelligence about imminent terror activities. 9/11 happened, we got Homeland Security, the TSA, militarized police forces nationwide and a more powerful NSA. Instead of crying wolf, the far Left should look in the mirror at the image looking back at them to assign some blame for what this country has become.
