I don’t understand why elected Democrats are so afraid of supporting our own beliefs.

Reaganomics, Iraq, forgiving GOP crimes “for the good of the country.”

I fear all we have are strongly-worded letters, and reassurances that “God is in the throne.”

Until we have leadership willing to fight, we will continue our 45-year desert-wandering, I fear.
