I'm not a moderate democrat. I'm not a centrist Democrat. If there were more parties in this country, I would likely vote far to the left of the Democratic Party. I'm a fired up, angry leftist partisan, and very proud to say so.

That being said, like every one here, I've known too many people, and read too much history to be sure that I'm right about everything, or to disregard every conservative or Republican in office.

I have to admit, sometimes the dynamics of this site amaze me. A month ago we attacked, with seeething anger, Speaker Pelosi for her refusal to consider impeachment as an option in dealing with the Monkey Prince. There were a lot of people espousing some pretty extreme tactics in order to force the democrats to listen to the American people. There were also a lot of very hurtful, unconstructive things said by people, who in the end were really just reacting to their frustration; a frustration which I share.

When I was 13 I spent some time with my Uncle and Aunt in upstate New York. Their daughter had just finished university, and was off to Harvard for law school in the fall. As with most recent graduates, she had left boxes upon boxes piled in her parents basement. I respect my family's privacy, but she had gone to a good school, and had corresponding tastes in literature. Since she was trying to get rid of as many of her books as possible, I spent much of that week rooting through those boxes.
I brought home many books that trip, to add to an already uncontrolled collection that is currently lying in my parents basement. One of those books changed me, in the way only truly meaningful art can. It changed the way I thought about humanity, politics, writing, and profoundly altered my spirituality. The was Hocus Pocus, written by a hero of literature, the now Late Kurt Vonnegut.

You know, sometimes the myopia of my fellow Kossacks astounds me. As a dual citizen who's spent his life in Canada, I fully realize that American politics is the place to be. It's important, momentous, and for the past several years, damn terrifying. Still, sometimes something happens up in my little country that you would think would peak our communities interest, and yet lo and behold, there appears (although after a very lazy search)to be no notice whatsoever.

Please, my friends and loyal Kossacks, join me below the jump for some news on a name that puts a bad taste on many of our mouths.

Usually I agree with Darksyde. Since I started regularly visiting Daily Kos he has been, and remains, one of my favorite writers.
Even today, I agree with most of what he's saying. It bothers me that the media has seemed to lunge at any hint of a democratic scandal, no matter how private or irrelevent, while ignoring the crimes and corruption of the ruling party. If there's any merit to the reports that something naughty occurred between Billy and a certain Canadian Politician, the press will certainly descend like vultures to tear it apart.

I just posted a message about this on a video game message board, and though I haven't checked the response on that thread yet, I thought it might be interesting to pose the same question here. I'm not involved in the technology sector, nor in the politcal arena, but I've always maintained a keen interest in both. This site, specifically is where those interests come together. One warning though, this is not particularly a political discussion. It can be, but it isn't designed that way. Enter at your own risk. Read More

I've been planning this diary for a while, but I've never been to sure how to go about it. As a left-wing dual citizen, living in Canada, I've always been rather pleased with the way the American Left views my country. Hell, I'm even proud of Canada, most of the time (a very un-Canadian thing to say, but then, I'm also American). We have health-care, a decent welfare system, liberal immigration, relaxed pot laws, gay marriage, plus we opted out of the Iraq war and Missile defense. But now all of our waunted liberalism may very well be our undoing. Woe, oh woe is us. At least hockey is back... Read More

I'm just amazed. I posted a diary at five in the morning, hoping against hope that a few people would even read it, let alone comment. In the end, I was too lazy to even write a conclusion. I know, I'm just a lazy bastard. Well I'm sorry, okay! I can't help it, I was tired! And bored!!!! Read More

I don't really write all that many diaries here. Most of the time I surf the news and opinions, feeling lucky to be given access to such an unprecedented source of information. Thanks to the incredible diligince of the diarists here I'm able to recieve news often days ahead of other sources, without being subject to the conservative media strangle-hold. As if that isn't wonderful enough, this site has become an avenue for major American politicians to interact directly with their supporters (and/or detractors).
I don't always agree with these politicians, nor do I always agree with the diarists here at the Kos. The thing is, this is an opinion site. Even though there is a lot of relevant journalism done here, really the great strength of this site is to provide voices for the many and disparate views that do make up the left.
I guess this is what has been bothering me recently.
