85. I'm satisfied with my liberal bona fides

I thought only the right reduced every issue to black or white (pun not intended). I'm sure there is a five second span of your life where you objectively said something that could be construed as patently offensive, maybe even criminal, without actually intending that five seconds to be the definition of who you are as a person. Truth is, every issue has a grey area, and it has always been the left that acknowledges that grey areas exist and proper thought is required before jumping to any conclusions. But I can appreciate how easy it is to jump to the conclusion in that vine.

I thank you for the 8th grade civics lesson on the Constitution. I know its purpose. I know who it governs. My point was that somebody who proclaims to love the Constitution to the point that the document is used as that person's photo identification lead me to the incorrect assumption that you are so guided by its principles to the point that you would apply it in your own judgment of others. It was not a First Amendment point, it was a reference to the Constitutional principle that one is innocent until proven guilty after having an opportunity to defend oneself against their accuser. I acknowledge that I was wrong in my belief.

If you don't believe there is a center subject to influence you are wasting your time on this board and in all of your political activism. The center exists, and they are the ones who decide elections and ultimately are the ones needed to push a liberal agenda forward in this country.

It appears that you are the keeper of the gate on this site dedicated to liberal and progressive causes such as freedom of thought and expression. It also appears that I am not the correct type of progressive for you. To ease your fear just know that since 2002 I've donated enough time, money and effort to liberal causes and candidates than you could imagine. Following Gov. Dean's plan, I've run for and won in local elections in my very conservative town. My foray into this board leads me to the belief that if half the effort spent ranting on this forum was spent in actual activism, the DU agenda would be much better served. Give it a try.
