Should the left start a Patriot Party to combat the Tea Party....   Updated at 12:51 AM
   
We have ceded, for what ever reason, all the patriotic symbolism to the crazy assed right.

It's almost if the left is frightened by overt patriotism.

I know that isn't the case, but it appears as if "we" do openly disdain the very idea of patriotism.

The thing is we are the true patriots, we are the ones who want to expand freedom, we are the ones who are always trying expand voting...

And yet, and yet...

We are somehow branded as against America.

The part of America that we don't like is the dream scape that the white people's party disguised as the Tea Party have created.

We are the true Americans.

It's time we take back the country from the people who want to limit access to government, limit voting and limit opportunity.

We are for the people, of the people and by the people...

It's time we started acting like it...

Well, that's my grumpy old liberal rant for the year...

Have at it!

This poor DUmmy got confused, he is confusing freebies with freedom.
Every policy that the left wants takes away from freedom, not an expansion of freedom.

It's right there in our founding documents: increase taxes! Big government! Social welfare! Take from those who work!

From each according to his ability to each according to his need!

Oh wait...

I think it would be great.  Just think of the visuals.  During the first big rally, people in Che shirts, Hammer and Sickle flags, Anarchists in black masks.  It is just too good to pass up. 

Organize NOW!!!!   America needs a DU organized Patriot Party.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

...and they can have a big rally of leftist patriots in Washington.

Of course, both of the leftist patriots will want beer and travel money because they're to broke to get there on their own.

Coffee Party

The American Dream Movement

There may actually be other anti TEA party movements out there that I have forgotten about. They all fail, because they all lack an organic component. Isn't it funny - the left is out-rallied by the TEA party, and they don't know what to do about it.  :-)

A "Worker's Paradise"


One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich - Alexander Solzhenitsyn

It is winter at a Soviet labor camp called “HQ,” in Siberia. A worker sounds the wake-up call for the inmates by pounding a hammer on a rail outside, but it is so cold that he soon gives up.

Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, an inmate at the camp, usually wakes up quickly at the wake-up call, but today he is aware of severe aches all over his body and a high fever. He listens to the sounds of other zeks, or camp inmates, trudging off to work. He hears signs that his own team, Gang 104, is preparing for labor as well. Shukhov recalls that this will be the day when it is decided whether Gang 104 will stay in HQ or be sent to the freezing, barren plains to work on a building project. Shukhov reflects that in such cold, with no place to get warm even for a moment, the only hope for survival is to dig feverishly and never stop.
