Taking the Pulse of the Democratic Underground

Thanks to John Hawkins at Right Wing News for posting this little gem from the Democratic Underground.

hwmnbn: Democrats are now America's Sunnis. They were in power, now they are out. The new repug masters are making sure they stay on top, even if it means dismantling our Constitution and remaking our country into a fascist state.

The Sunnis in Iraq are at least putting up a fight as they go down. Dems seem to be content to "hold hearings" to determine why we're going down.

Our leaders should be screaming bloody murder. Filibuster, boycott, close down congress, stop this train no matter what it takes! F*ck, I'm frustrated.

My apologies to Conyers, Murtha, and the too few others who've consistently fought hard. They ALL have to fight, fight hard, and fight NOW!

And this attitude is going to help you capture the House, the Senate or the Presidency? I don't see it happening any time soon.

Loudly exposing a political and/or historical ignorance will only help to attract those who are even more politically and historically ignorant. This is not the basis for a sound political movement, regardless of how passionate.

Tone down the rhetoric. Learn what the Constitution actually says. Learn what fascism actually is. Study the historical landscapes of this country politically before you start to freak over a few years out of power. If you do all of these things perhaps you can make an argument without 70% of the people either laughing at you directly or shuffling to the other side of the road hoping not to be associated with you.

Oh, and pop an Atavan, would you?
