Do it! Ban abortion! Break S.S.! Deny Gay Rights! Ignore Racism!

[JanMichael]

Give up on Living Wages! To hell with National Health Insurance!

Abortion? I'm a man, won't ever need an abortion, and it's icky and loses elections anyway.

Social Security? Got a good pension already plus old relatives with money, the CBO numbers are bull, don't need it.

Gay Marriage? My wife would kill me, it loses elections, don't need it.

Racism? I'm "White", addressing that can only affect me negatively, don't need that.

Living Wages? Already got them, at least I do, don't need it.

Health Insurance? I'm healthy, Insured through my job and 36, don't need it.


Am I still a Progressive/Liberal/Democrat?

[theorist]

1. Unless this is satire, no you are not a Liberal.

Giving up fighting this battle is just as good as fighting for the other side.

(If this is satire, it may be more appreciated in the Lounge.)

[brainshrub]

2. Sure! So is Leiberman.

Let's all move to the right!

[JanMichael]

3. So I can still be a Dem!?

Bitchin'

[AmandaRuth]

4. hey JanM - I hear you

i am still so pissed about this election that I too think, hell just give them what they want. They voted for it. Give 5 or 10 years of what they asked for. They won't like it, I guarantee it.

Then i calm down a bit and come back to reason.

19. I've been thinking of the US as a drunk

We may have to hit rock bottom, before we decide to admit we as a nation have a problem and need to fix it.

[Cogito ergo doleo]

5. Cut down all the Redwoods too, who needs 'em.

I don't live in California anyway.

Dump sewage in the water: We'll all just shower with Pellagrino.

Then go 'round an yell Merry Christmas at the top of your lungs in malls: I made all my presents this year- no chance of running into you.

Don't bother counting all the votes: This is the New America where elections are just a formality.

:party:Happy New Year: Loved your post

6. I don't know about liberal/progressive....

but you sure sound like a DNC democrat.

Accommodate, accommodate, accommodate.

[Tony_Illinois]

7. Why Not? And Please Also Let's Get Praying Back In School

where it belongs.

And for God's sake (get it?) let's get some judges with some balls on the Supreme Court and gut this Bill of "Rights" like a fish.

[chaska]

8. Good effin' god, how do we get a message to these idiots?

Are they not aware what's going on in place like DU. Are they too stupid to realize that this movement has legs, that we are not going let them go right anymore. Why run if you can't get the support to win? How are they going to win if they only court republicans and are continually slapping us in the face?

You know, in America all answers come down, one way or another, to money. I haven't worked it all out, but you can bet there's some dirty shit behind this.

[InvisibleBallots]

9. which Democrat suggested ignoring racism?

None?

[Mandate My Ass]

12. Anybody who doesn't speak out about FL and OH is ignoring racism

so I guess that means all of them except for maybe JJ Jr.

[InvisibleBallots]

13. good point

I hadn't thought of that.

[JanMichael]

16. Thanks. I had a momentary loss of memory.

That "Felon" Purge thing is probably number one recently along with the "spoiled ballot" problem.

[Mandate My Ass]

17. As soon as I heard hundreds of "Poll Challengers" were headed for OH

on Nov. 2nd I knew this was a felon purge by another name. And we all know who got singled out.

[JanMichael]

15. They don't have to "suggest" ignoring it.

It's simply done.

Certainly not by all.

[Stinky The Clown]

20. One deosn't have to specifically appear racist

to be racist. Racist is as racist does.

[Politicub]

21. Your reply says quite a lot!!

HAHAHAHAHA

Ignoring all of the other social ills is Ok to you then.

[InvisibleBallots]

22. your response says quite a lot as well

"Your reply says quite a lot! HAHAHAHAHA Ignoring all of the other social ills is Ok to you then."

How exactly do you get that I think ignoring all other social ills than racism is a-okay? You just made it up, I assume?

[jimquilty]

10. you will either be happy or disturbed to

know that we have a radio "personality" here with your name that actually subscribes to all of the positions advocated in your post ... yes, he is a crazy SOB.

[JanMichael]

11. I'm terribly confused now.

Since I was on the Guy James Show a while back am I the "crazy SOB"?

[jimquilty]

14. no - but the

Jan Michael (it may be Michaelson now that I think of it - I turn the station when he is on) who has a show in DSM, Iowa is a crazy SOB.

[salin]

18. via conversatons with Jan Michael on du I can vouch

that he can sometimes seem a little crazy ;-) , but would never tag "SOB" on him ...

[JanMichael]

25. Thank you!

I'm not crazy, just a little weird, right?

[MARALE]

23. I used to listen to him

That station is so RW, I wish we could get AAR and Edshultz here. Jan is getting crazier with time, he used to be okay 15 years ago. Welcome to DU!!!

[jimquilty]

24. thanks for the welcome

name a station in this state that is not way RW - even my drive time sports radio station has been infiltrated - Steve Deace on KXNO subs for Jan when he is off.
