522. I know a great deal about the Revolution.
Edited on Mon Oct-25-10 11:13 AM by sabrina 1
I know that the 'action liberals' had to be dragged, kicking and screaming to finally either step aside, or agree that all the compromising got them nowhere and actually do something. What they were doing was far more radical than, say, putting a PO in a healthcare bill. It meant risking their very lives and going down in history as traitors.

Today we don't need any time at all to understand that Republicans cannot be compromised with. So why does anyone in their right mind think it is possible? I call THAT naive. Compromising with authoritarians firmly entrenched in their beliefs, unmoved even by logic and facts or the will of the people, THAT is not how change happens.
