Why moderates are so often bad news

126. 'Purist' IS a made up word to attack Liberals with. It, like many others, comes from

one of those political 'think tanks', a 'talking point' intended to silence Progressives. Words as weapons, aimed at Progressives to be used by Right Wingers, which they are, and now adapted unfortunately and repeated by a few on our side, to slap down anti Corporate Voices in the Democratic Party. To end discussion is the goal, to simply shut people up.

They should be turned around and used against the Corporate entities who oppose Democratic values. What could be more Purist than constantly defending Corporate interests, excusing policies like the Chained CPI, another Think Tank phrase designed to deceive the public on cutting SS benefits.

Maybe it's time to make a list of these anti-progressive 'think tank talking points' which have been used so often they have become jaded and old by now. Which is one way to recognize them.

People like Blue, eg, whether you agree with him or not, doesn't need to use Think Tank talking points to make his point, he speaks for himself, unlike those who dip into that 'talking point' bag whenever they want to slap down those who adhere to Dem Principles exposing themselves as not thinking for themselves because if they were, they would, like Blue and other progressives here, use their OWN WORDS.

To finish with another 'think tank' phrase, 'I am a member of the Reality Based Community' used also to insult Liberals with 'and you, child are not'. So sick of these old, used up talking points. If someone has something to say, let them use their own words, not stupid phrases thought up by paid morons intended to stifle the only process that will ever get this country on track, serious discussion of the issues that affect a majority of the people.
