Sep 2013

is my name for him.

Unless Americans in the real world, as opposed to the dilettantes at DU, have come to understand what a progressive truly is.

A true progressive works within the system, for that is where the power resides and it's not for the faint hearted. It's hard as hell and dangerous.

Those doing the work do not have time to stand outside and cast stones. It's the only thing other than religion that has changed society.

Sorry, but to those who think complaining ever changed the world, they are being maliciously lazy and not contributing anything to anyone. To go after those who care so much that they will put themselves in harm's way, is a risk.

The complainers are like someone in need of a laxative. They simply aren't moving enough to get rid of the corruption and will only stand still and get nothing done. And their words stink.

JMHO.
