For several decades now, most Liberals have been afraid of our own shadow. Hell, most of us have even been afraid of the word Liberal. A new word had to be substituted, Progressive, so some of us wouldn't have to say Liberal in polite company.

And our country has rocketed into the sewer.

And Americans are figgerin' out that Republican/Third Way economics are a disaster for the 99%, that we're getting reamed. Things are starting to change; Bernie Sanders is surging in the polls, and suddenly everyone's a Lefty. Even the DLC Doyenne now claims she's the most progressive Progressive in all Progessivedom.

This is all amusing and it is good.

But what's not amusing nor good is the belief held by the Third Way crowd that Sanders supporters pointing out Third Way garbage is somehow attacking or bashing Democrats. Saying that a dung beetle eats crap is not bashing dung beetles, it's stating a fact. Likewise, pointing out the clever ways in which Third Wayers steal our stuff is simply stating facts. It may discomfort that crowd to use simple phrases like "putting people in poverty", "children going hungry", or "impoverished elderly people freezing to death" instead of whatever assinine euphamism Larry Summers uses, but we uppity Liberals really don't give a @#$& anymore.

We will call it like it is. We will fight like hell for Bernie, and against lies. And we will take the Party of the 99% back for the 99%.

Deal with it.

UPDATE: Sorry, I @#$&ed up, got a post hidden, and am now locked out of this thread. So don't take it personally if I don't respond to posts.
