Hello fellow Kosians (or whatever you call yourselves). I just figured I would introduce myself before I get to the hard core blogging/opinionating/fapping etc etc etc. I figure this may be the time to do it.
I live in Michigan. I go to a major state university, and am studying engineering. My father is a doctor in Detroit. My mother does the traditional woman things right now (irony injected), but was a nutritionist at the same hospital.
Now that we have the intro out of the way, I suppose I should introduce my ideology. I am obviously a progressive (because I'm posting here and not on Redstate or Stormfront. I warn that I am rather aggressive in defending and promoting my ideology, and attacking others. I have seen the damage that Conservatism has caused, I have touched people that have died because of Republicans. Seeing the violence Republicans cause, with their pro-gun(pro-murder), racist, homophobic agenda.
The previous sentence is why many people would describe me as overaggressive. Some on this very site have labeled me as a troll because I am so aggressive. I am agressive because I desire change, the change the Conservatives so fear. Republicans are directly responsible for every single major problem the United States faces this day. Looking back through history, nigh all the wars, scandals, collapses, and plain old injustices in the US can be traced back to conservative actions. Getting rid of the conservatives would solve so many problems in the US and the world.
Unfortunately, we can't pull a Joe Stalin and send them all to reeducation camps, right (nudge nudge wink wink). That would be the easiest, but it would go against most everything progressives stand for. Therefore, we must fight the good fight. Ideally, at least.
Far too many progressives are too easily cowed, to quickly intimidated by the dirty tricks and verbal wedgies of the right. Too many seem to desire that the world knows that we fought the fight with honor, and lost, rather then win the war.
War is a term I do not use lightly . This is very much a war. This is a war against murder, bigotry, xenophobia, racism. In essence, a fight against everything that makes humanity a species with war, poverty, and premature death. All things the Conservatives embrace as their ideology.
To save the United States, we must win the bloody war against Conservatism.
This war has taken many lives on our side. Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, and many others unknown to the history books but just as important. Conservatives respond to dialogue with violence and hate. Conservatism is not an ideology to be debated with but a rabid dog to be put down, a bomb to be defused.
To secure Victory against the Republicans, we must fight as republicans. We cannot be concerned by what History thinks of us, by how our children know of our struggle. We must be content with the fact that our children will have a future, a progressive future.
A future where diseases are cured by science, not by superstition.
A future where poverty and hunger are terms regulated to archaic dictionaries and obscure history books.
A future where violence is obsolete.
A future where every man and woman (and other), gay and straight (and other), elder and child is treated as the human being they are, rather then be tainted by the filter of identity.
We cannot fight this war as progressives. This is the failing of many of our compatriots. We cannot fight Conservatism as the open minded, peaceful, kind people that we are. As horrible as it is, we must fight as Republicans. We must use every dirty trick, every underhanded tactic, every unfair strategy we have in our human arsenal to defeat this great evil. We must be willing to cast aside our very beings to secure a future that we need.
Control of Congress and the presidency is a good first step. But it is only the first step in a process that, god willing, will result in the destruction of Republicans. We must purge our party of those who have conservative leanings. We must purge the government and the military of those who would rather go backward then go forward. People that desire wealth at the expense of their fellow man must be made an example of. Such selfish, conservative behavior cannot be tolerated in government or society.
manifesto mode off
So, that's me, in a nutshell. I see myself as the "Vanguard", one of those that will play dirty so others can play nice. It's awfully tough on those pussyfoot progressives that I have the misfortune of sharing leadership in the College Democrats in, but meh, I suppose not all have the stomach for real political insurgency.
Again, thanks for taking me in Kossacks!
