Poor babies. You can’t take it any more. You don’t have the stomach for all the infighting and attack-posts, so you’re throwing in the towel.
Cowards!
Am I disheartened and disappointed? You bet. Am I sick to death of all the finger-pointing and tearing down? Absolutely. Am I angry at the recent memes criticizing the Obama administration, the Democratic party, and progressives in general? Damn right.
But - this is one yellow dog Democrat who’s going to stay around and fight.
You see, the war’s not over, not by a long shot. I know the MSM has been all but writing the obit for the Dems ever since the Dodd announcement, and every pundit on the air has been madly waving around their "Repent. The end is near" signs, but for us "real" Democrats, this is not a wake, it’s just a small retreat to regroup.
And yes, I said "real" Democrats. Those are the ones who don’t cut and run when their party’s in trouble. Those are the ones who don’t post GBCW diaries because they are just too heartbroken to go on or write sad letters to the prez or whine about how hard it is for them these days.
I have no time for you weak-ass naysayers. Go ahead and leave, if you want to. Maybe it’s time the herd had a good culling anyway.
I’m kind of a newbie, having just over a year under my belt, and don’t post much because there are so many intelligent and thoughtful Kossaks who say it quicker and better than I ever could. I tend to read and rec, and silently bless them for their hard work.
But it’s time to come out of the woodwork and fight. Hopefully there are some others who feel the same way. And like the song says "We’re not gonna take it." Be on notice, all you crepe hangers and purveyors of doom and gloom. Be prepared to have your every negative countered by a positive. Be prepared to have your crappy attitude taken issue with. Be prepared to quitcherbitchen, ‘cus we don’t have time for it.
There is a lot of work to be done if we want HCR, a repeal of DOMA, new financial regs, and to keep the Democrats from going down in flames in 2010. Millions of ordinary people are counting on the Dems to do the right thing by them. So those of you who believe in what progressives stand for need to roll up your sleeves. Those that are too "disappointed" to stick around. – take a hike.
Come on Kossaks, yer either with me or agin’ me. Which is it?
