with their lawyers and accountants, to plunder, pollute and destroy us and this country without mercy are lazy, weak fools or people overconfident in their own superiority and invulnerability which is toxic. One of the features of newer white collar, investor class Dem. pols with no labor history or compassion that I detest is their weakness, also their avarice. Of all people, Dems. pols have only to look to US history if they don't know how bad it was and it can be again. One of the reasons I value Sen. Sanders so much is he knows and lays out just what the RW is doing and it's horrifying. And he knows the history.
Democratic officials, if they're able to do anything, need to reinstitute Civics, sans Koch-RW Stink Tank influence. If the GOP can implement 'restoration of religion' bull, we can demand the re-learning of our government and history- it can't all be one way. Also critical is to stop the privatization for profit degradation of public schools by corporate shills and to tackle the consolidated corp. media that's given us RW Hate and programming for the dumb, through the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, the FCC and the Fairness Doctrine. The comfort and gravy train of insulated centrist leaders can't last forever; the Third Way army needs to disband and we need to return to Democratic Party values and start working immediately on a large domestic agenda.
The Party is weaker and older in age than I've ever seen it, apart from highly dedicated individuals like Warren, Sanders, Sherrod Brown, Alan Grayson and others. There's a glaring age gap between 40-60 (in Non-Corporate Dems.) probably due to the rise of Reaganomics, money and consumerism. But the false free market, trickle poison lure has to end. And thank God for the Castros...
