Two Civilized Men Among the Barbarians

[impeach the gop]

These two gentlemen are our only hope. God bless them. It takes leadership to stand up against the corporate machine. They speak proudly to represent OUR dignity and quality of life.

liberman can go fuck a duck , clark, dean, and anyone else that dares forget just what being a Democrat is. We the people hello?

The character of much of what passes for debate in the United States
signals that the nation has become the moral equivalent of Tobacco
Road, a backwater of civilization.

Humankind has traveled a long journey since the time when some folks
walked out of Africa, and others decided to stay. Yet at the American
center of the Earth's material wealth and military power, human progress
has been short-circuited – smothered – by a ruling group bent on
dragging the rest of the species toward a social and moral dead end.

This hyper-aggressive group maintains an iron grip on both the
mechanisms and the terms of civil discussion, retarding the rest of the
citizenry's ability to think and speak like other humans privileged to live
in the developed countries. American political conversation is becoming
nonsensical, divorced from the very purposes of life.

Measured by the most minimal standards of the modern, industrial
world, only two of 10 Democratic candidates for President passed
civilized muster at a recent debate in New York City: Rep. Dennis
Kucinich and Rev. Al Sharpton. The rest of the field, to varying degrees,
fail to even comprehend modern assumptions of what it is to be human,
living among other humans.

3. oops

I saw the new rules post just after hitting the enter key. Sorry Skinner.

4. Meh

That's the only word I can think of...meh. That, coupled with a half-hearted shrug.

Frankly, a one-word violation should not constitute removal or anything.

I'm hoping the Fuckity-fuck-fuck comments are the ones that will be yanked.

Wasn't picking on you, though....just so you know.
