Nice to see you around here "bvar22" your voice has been missed....but, sorry you had to come in on this one...but, your post stands for what is missed in the squabbles that go on that only serve to get attention while the REAL TRUTH of why we are all so angry with each other and fighting amongst ourselves languishes...in that America is an Elitist Nation where the 1% RULE....and it's getting worse.
We will be Dicken's America soon if issues aren't addressed about what has happened to our "Homeland" (since the RW just loves to call it that).
Yet the Fighting over the "Bits" rules here on DU these days and it becomes about "Jury Systems" and "Sock Puppets" and scrapping over the spoils.
While the REAL NEWS gets little attention...and when it does...the "sock puppets" have their day at it and discourage any real discussion about WHY we are Fighting With Each Other...
We don't have any Progressive Movements Worth a DAMN these days to back us up and help us with what we are going through. They left us when Obama was Elected and came back for a bit to whip us up for "2012" promising that PBO would Find his TRUE DEM ROOTS if we Re-elected him ....He would be FREE to show us the Progressive Dem Side he was forced to hide in his first term.
We re-elected him........and this is what we get... And we will fight over the spoils and go at each other because we are disillusioned...and those who aren't will throw rocks and call names if we don't send Nato to go after Putin and if we don't put "Boots on the Ground" because of the horrible Beheadings and the Threat of ISIS coming to murder our children in their beds and the Ebola Virus is coming and that will cause death of ALL of US...if A CURE ISN'T FOUND Immediately!
On and on...while our memories fade in the Blaring Propaganda and the Beat of War Drums of the Mainstream Media who has sold us LIES, LIES and MORE LIES for DECADES.
Sad Times. We need to do better....and I'm closing my Rant.....
