DUer's that are not New Democrats, just Democrats and traditional Democratic voters silent thread.
This is a thread for those of US that the New Democrats/Democratic Leadership Council abandoned to just silently gather together as Democratic voters and citizens of this community. :hi:

9. What does the pentacle stand for?
I'm a recovering catholic and I don't subscribe to any organized religion. I like buddhist teachings but I'm still wrapping my head around it

12. I'm Wiccan- it is a common symbol of my faith
The five points represent Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit. The circle represents the circle of life.

I just think that religion has been so bastardized in this country that I am always put off by the cross

28. So, can I not ask what it's all about?
People are reacting as if I am saying, "Please take that cross avatar off!" That's not the case at all. It's not very common to see that as someone's avatar and I was curious.

30. I just said it was odd.
Just like me saying, "what's with the Dean avatar" would be odd, as if I couldn't figure it out on my own. Didn't seem like a question as much as commentary to me. But whatever.

32. Even if you were curious (about what, anyway?)
Your post was accusatory and your follow-up posts confirm that attitude. It's probably not common to see the cross as someone's avatar here because of posters like, and even worse than, you.

34. Around here, yes. Behind Mike Huckabee's shoulder, no.
I guess I am just very anti religious and my thoughts came through on my post. To those that I have offended, I apologize

Co-opted by Roosevelt. I'd be happy enough going back those roots.

7. Left of Democrat. You folks got me by a thread in this election.
I'll vote for you. Offer good until Nov 08. After that I'm leaving unless we swing back. Even if we lose this time.

10. I was brought up as an old-fashioned, union-loving, party of the little guy New Deal Democrat.
I don't recognize the Democratic party anymore. But obviously, the feeling is mutual -- they don't recognize me, either.

Although I never followed the ND/DLC so I never really felt abandoned. I just want people to know I am here with the rest of the party. We never left.

18. Overseas for 20 years so don't really understand all the sub groups
Just an old fashioned FDR/JFK/MLK/RFK Loving democrat that grew up in a home that hated all those guys.

19. Kucinich was the only on running this time
The DLC pols out there piss me off so much, I'd rather vote for Mayor Daley's corpse than any of the DLC clowns.

22. Proud Liberal Democrat here
Hoping that we are witnessing the last death throes of the Republican infiltration known as the DLC (who are neither Democrats, nor leaders) :)

23. Checking in for the libertarian, socialist, communist, kinda-capitalist, pragmatist wing.
Sometimes I wonder what Jefferson, Madison, and even Roosevelt would think of us today.
