36. Going along with the conservative crowd is the easy way.

Don't challenge the ever-growing NSA/CIA Security State, don't challenge Wall Street corruption, don't challenge attacks on SS and Medicare, don't challenge attacks on our environment, don't challenge the widening wealth gap, don't challenge fracking and cross country pipelines, or coal trains, don't challenge damaging "Free Trade" trade agreements, etc. I hope you don't think that people don't challenge the overreach of the oligarchy are "moderates". These are conservative ideals that they won't challenge.

You are living in dream land if you believe that the conservatives of the Party " have built & sustained the Democratic Party infrastructure for decades." THEY USED TO BE REPUBLICANS. The Democratic Party infrastructure at the national level has been purchase by Goldman-Sachs and their brethren for a few pieces of gold and that's just ok with you. After all Goldman-Sachs isn't so bad. They gave $500,000 to the Clinton charity. It's a small price for ripping off the 99% for billions and it's tax deductible. Win-win for the American Aristocrats.

I disparage those that hide under their beds afraid to fight for their liberties and freedoms and rationalize it by calling themselves "moderates". Those that think if they side with the big bully oligarchy, they will be spared.

Tell me what ideals you think I have that you disagree with.
