Repealing DADT?

Preventing the cuts to SS?

Single Payer.....no, to late.

Stopping the wars (without leaving 50,000 troops there)

Wow, I wonder what area will be worth a fight? I can't wait!!!

3. The loyalists on this board will still be calling for calm and
to be 'reasonable' with our dying breaths.

11. There won't be a "TIME TO FIGHT", Obama
doesn't have it in him to fight. He goes along with the status quo.

12. That's a good question. We keep kicking that can...
...down the road.

I think you're right, DADT or SS.

13. Depends on what you mean by "fight"
I sometimes wonder how far the top .1% would actually take it. I wonder if they know that if they keep taking more and more for themselves while destroying the social safety net that was created in the New Deal that they might be sawing off the branch that they are standing on?

For years I have thought that all their railing and ranting against the "welfare state" was just so much bluster, a way to keep the rednecks riled up and voting their way. Now I'm not so sure, have their egos grown so big that they don't realize that mass hunger, sickness and suffering of the great unwashed masses could wind up bring their undoing in a very real and violent manner. I certainly hope not.

I have a 4 year old daughter and the very last thing I would ever want is for her to grow up in a time of civil war and violent insurrection. But day by day, it seems like the upper crust is hell bent on pushing us to exactly that at sometime in the near future. So far they have been pretty good at pitting us against each other, but if enough of the "little people" get hungry enough....

Let's just hope it never comes to that

14. As long as they (.1%) control the media, there is little danger
If we were going to fight back, we'd have already started piling up bodies. The history books will say that we gave up without any fight at all.

You don't want your 4 yr old to grow up in a time of civil war. I would rather have my grandchildren grow up in a civil war than in a country that we gave to Limpballs without even resisting.

16. Maybe we aren't hungry enough yet
Maybe we have to sink farther. I don't know. I do know what JFK said

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."


"A free society that will not help the many who are poor, cannot save the few who are rich."

He was a much smarter man than I. I see what is described in both of his statements happening in this country, right here, right now.

15. When a judge rules DADT unconstitutional...
but then it's time to fight to keep DADT all the while promising it would end by the end of this year. :banghead:

17. Sorry, their idea of a "fight" is delivering the payoff to the Republicans without a thank-you note.
