op?po?si?tion
1. a. The act of opposing or resisting. b. The
condition of being in conflict; antagonism c. Placement
opposite to or in contrast with another. d. Something
that serves as an obstacle.
A political party or an organized group opposed to the
group, party, or government in power.
It's time to face the facts, the Democratic party is not a
solution for someone that values peace, truth, justice and
equality. Look at the record, Democrats oppose the President in
the way that he's "handled" the war but they don't have a
problem with his policy of war, they even voted for it. The
President supports radical ideologues for prominent positions
and the Democrats do little to nothing to oppose them. Congress
passes legislation that further hurts the poor and the Democrats
sit idly by on the sidelines.
In fact with exception of a few, Democrats actually differ very
little in action from Republicans. They are just as entrenched
in the power structure as the Republicans and completely
disconnected from the realities that Americans face every day.
That's why Clinton served up nationalized health care to
Hillary. He knew it would fail without him throwing his weight
behind it and he failed to realize the +45 million reasons why
it needed to succeed. He played a game of politics with people's
well being and what the Democrats fail to realize is that
Clinton was primarily successful because of his charisma and
ability to communicate not because he was a moderate.
Hell, I volunteered for John Kerry because it was my belief that
had he been President we never would have ruthlessly attacked
another nation that posed absolutely no threat to ours but the
fact of the matter is that John Kerry voted to give George W.
Bush authorization to use force. Regardless of what Kerry
thought was the proper course of action he and his Democratic
compatriots should have opposed George W. Bush then and now. But
they're not. Not one of them is making a stand. Not one of them
is going out on a limb. They are so damn concerned with
maintaining their grasp on the little power that they have that
they won't stand out and stand up and use every resource at
their disposal to fight Congress and this administration at
every turn.
The situation is analogous to how the poor destroys itself for
control of meager resources. You see, the Democrats are losing
power and have been for years. Instead of changing course, which
means to stop looking at the polls and start doing what's right,
they cling more and more to the failed examples of the past. All
that they need to do is look at why the other side is winning.
The answer is brazen decisiveness. The Republicans have a vast
agenda to advance and they dive into it wholeheartedly. For
anyone paying any kind of attention can see that they're not
even trying to hide the fact they've been completely purchased
by corporations and legitimized by self-appointed religious
extremists who all have an interest to further, which
incidentally happens to run contrary to the needs and desires of
the American people.
They represent fascism and zealotry and they're beating YOU!
Don't you get it? You need not look at polls to win! You just
need to stand with the people. Don't laugh at them, don't
condescend to them and certainly DO NOT tell them what you think
that they want to hear. Be honest, be strong and stand willing
to give up your seat of power if necessary to say and do what
should be said and done.
