103. I made a partisan comment in a place called Democratic Underground and shake your head in disgust?

Maybe there's a site called Liberal Loveland or Idealist Uptopia where you can lament that politics itself is the root of all evil, but you'll run into a lot of people here who, like me, carry a DNC card in their wallet. People like me who over the years have seen a marked difference when Democrats are at the levers of power in this country.

Maybe you're a young man who thinks he has the time and energy to burn it all down and rebuild anew. Perhaps you see the country as a potential blank canvas just awaiting your talent to paint an ideal society where wrongs are righted, greed is passe, and all men are truly created equal, but I see the country as a struggle between factions where one side wants to drag the nation back to a time when men on the street begged to let them shine your shoes, and another that upholds the dignity of a working class. This struggle doesn't live in my head, the battle rages on around us every day of the year while you concern yourself with destroying both parties in the name of justice and leftist purity.

I'm old and mature enough to know we have a better shot at a future by working within the system than inventing a new one that suits only a minority who think the entire country is behind them in creating a far left utopia that can only exist on paper and wisps of drum circle smoke.

It's telling that you refer to the Democrats in the White House as "my team" and wish them ousted through criminal court. Are you here to talk DUers out of their party membership? If so, you must be seeing the very beginnings of the immense challenge you face in remolding the nation into your ideal vision.

You stay at it though, someday the whole world will see things your way.
