discussion of current political events. I gave up on that here some time ago and decided to follow the smart people with a sense of humor. It is evident that the word Democratic has become a label for a party, not a discrete progressive political identity who's values were defined by FDR and further refined by the Civil Rights Era, the peace movement and the social policies of Lyndon Johnson. It's current incarnation resembles the Nixon Whitehouse skewed to the right.
