Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Something is better than nothing. These things take time. You've got to give a little to get a little, progressives should sit down and shut up. Innuendo points to progressives being immature, unrealistic, unaware of how the real world works and radical. And so it goes.
Yet progressives seem to be the only ones who don't have a seat at the table. The people who don't want it at all have 3 big seats and they have been courted, catered to and wooed all the while they slow walk heath care to death. Transparency never made it's way to Cspan. 70% of Americans want a public option, the only voice they have is the one progressives are giving them. This is not the time for silence. It's an old tale, one which says that flying too close to the sun will melt your wings but no one ever pays attention. So many kings of the world have hit earth with a thud. Remember the political capital of *. RL has been on a 'I;m The King Of The World" high for a couple of months now. He's declared himself the de facto head of his party and claims our president is afraid of him. This is getting so good it's almost
 time. Sooner or later someone is going to prick that balloon body of his and bring him down with such a thud that it will be mistaken for an earthquake. I give him 16 months at most. The only question will be what does it?"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice”
I have long taken comfort from that saying. The fact that there is a moral arc to the universe, that acts, on its own volition to set things right, even if it takes longer than I would wish, has held me these last 8 years. It’s slow work, seemingly, however I see some evidence of its influence. Barack Obama becoming President-Elect was a biggie but there have been smaller events that have confirmed that there is a moral force in the universe that is operational. Ann Coulter getting her jaw wired, Katherine Harris under investigation, the now dropped indictments of Cheney & Gonzales I take as a warning of things to come for them, Howard Dean being vindicated, that awful anchor at Faux who after a decade didn’t have her contract renewed, Friedman giving up drinking the kool-aid now that his family has lost all that money, Kathleen Parker finally having to write truth and then finding out first hand how her conservative pals treat those who lose their lock-step, the judge who attended a Federalist Society speech given by Mukasey and shouted TRAITOR, out loud, at the ‘not for long’ attorney general. This is not a call for vengeance, but for a redressing of the ills that have been visited upon us and our country; the willful and vile hatemongering, the theft of our national treasure by those on K and Wall streets, the crippling and breaking of our justice system, the desecration of our environment and so much more. Terms like collateral damage for the killing of innocents and food insecure to describe those who are hungry or starving. All of this speaks to the fact that those without a moral compass have had it in their heads to take, grab, steal, plunder and pirate (with the same viciousness and disregard as those bandits in Somalia). what is rightfully ours. It isn’t that we haven’t fought back, but for so long it seemed that the army of ‘they’ were winning. No longer. Every day it is becoming more and more apparent that the balance has shifted There are other small acts of justice being meted out in one form or another though some are under the radar and don’t receive attention. The important point is that there is a force out there, not of our making, that will do what humans are seemingly incapable of. It’s been said on a number of occasions that time is speeding up, hence the potential for a lot more scores to be settled in quick time. I’m waiting and watching to see what happens to all the villains and crooks as well as domestic terrorists like Kristol. There’s a reckoning to come and I know it will happen. How long? Not too long for "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice” Lately the term neocon has been bandied about. In the last week DUers and Obama have been branded as such. Below is a definition of what neoconservatism actually. Additionally there is a list of the signers of the PNAC, the bigwigs of the neocon movement. These are who the neocons are and what they believe.

“The article, titled The American Right Under the Weather, is but one piece in the new overall issue covering the leftward shift of American politics in recent months. As anyone who has read the magazine knows, the editorial staff of The Economist is certainly no friend to Democrats, favoring a decidedly corporatist agenda valuing "free trade over "fair trade" and a foreign policy usually at odds with progressive values. As a result, however, they find themselves increasingly at odds with the social conservatives who have all but taken over the Republican party's activist base: in fact, they say so directly in the cover article:” cont… http://www.democraticunderground.com/discu...

My point with all these progressives rising posts is that we needn't despair. In the face of evidence that would seemingly tell us we are on the losing end of what is happening in this country, we are not. The hope and changes are there, it just hasn't coalesced into a big enough picture for everyone to see in its entirety.
“To be clear, there's reason for optimism, as this is a temporary situation and we've made enormous progress since 2002. There are more self-identified liberals today than there have been since 1972, independents are swinging far to the left, and the base Democratic vote is making the difference in elections. The Democratic Party of 2007 is much more progressive than that of 2002, and at the rate we're gaining reliable liberal votes (10/year), there will be an unbreakable progressive House majority by 2012. The overall intellectual environment, the shattering of the right-wing careerist foreign policy community, the increasing efficiency of liberal advocacy groups, the increased participation of progressive economy sectors in the political sector, and the liberalization of the White House and Senate, can also have significant effects. Our politicians are obviously behind the curve, with Clinton quasi-supporting the surge and Obama in his most recent Iowa ad doesn't call himself a Democrat. But this is temporary. I don't have a good strategy on how to 'fix' the Senate, but to get to a progressive working majority in the House, we need to pick up 41 more reliable votes, either by beating Republicans or by converting or beating Blue Dog Democrats. If we can get to an uncompromising progressive majority in the House, then the Senate will be dragged along through conference committees and a Democratic White House. In the Senate, we'll need 16 for a clear progressive majority, but because of institutional dynamics we'll probably need less to have a working majority. There are several paths to making this happen in the House. Pick Up Safe Seats Progressives: cont… http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matt-stoller... Liberalism Rising, and Obama Republicans by: Matt Stoller Thu Aug 09, 2007 at 11:11:18 AM EDT “To follow up on my post from last night, liberalism is getting stronger among base voters as well as politicians. It's more antiwar than at any time since 1972. Support is growing for such traditionally liberal values as using the federal government to help the poor. And 40 percent of Democrats now call themselves liberal, the highest in more than three decades and twice the low-water mark recorded as the conservative Reagan revolution swept the country in the early 1980s... The Democrats' shift to the left carries some risk, but probably much less than it would have in years past. That's because independent voters - the ones who swing back and forth and thus decide elections - also have turned against the war and in favor of many more liberal approaches to government... Fewer than half of Democrats now agree with the adage that military strength is the best way to secure peace, a drop of 16 percentage points in the last decade, according to a series of polls by the Pew Research Center. Independents also lost faith in the value of military strength over the same period, though their support dropped by only half as much as Democrats' did. Republicans' trust in military strength increased by 7 percentage points.: cont… http://openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6... “Blessed Unrest” is not a glass-half-full book. But Hawken does imply that the movement — which he estimates at perhaps two million organizations strong — is a sign of life stirring in the beaten-up bowels of the planet, part of the earth’s own immunological response, as executed collectively (maybe even semiconsciously) by “social antibodies.” Hawken, studiously avoiding the language of religion, ends up groping for a faith-free yet faith-based terminology to describe what connects people who put aside their own immediate material needs, if just for a second. “Sustainability, ensuring the future of life on earth, is an infinite game, the endless expression of generosity on behalf of all,” he says. Hawken, it seems, is hoping for a miracle, which by definition is possible only because it’s impossible. At the very least, knowing that other people are thinking along those lines makes such a thing seem a little more likely.”

Grass Roots Rising: Paul Hawken’s “Blessed Unrest”
by Robert Sullivan “Blessed Unrest” is about a movement that no one has noticed, not even the people involved. “The movement,” as Paul Hawken calls it, is made up of an unknowable number of citizens and mostly ragtag organizations that come and go. But when you do see it, you understand it to include NGOs, nonprofit agencies and a seemingly disparate range of people who might describe themselves as environmental activists, as well as people who might not describe themselves as anything at all but are protesting labor injustices, monitoring estuaries, supporting local farming or defending native people from being robbed of the last forests. There are a few billionaires, working hard to give their wealth away, and there are even some Christian evangelicals, who have decided the earth is not theirs to trash, but the movement is mostly about shared beliefs, even if those beliefs are unproclaimed. “Life is the most fundamental human right,” Hawken writes, “and all of the movements within the movement are dedicated to creating the conditions for life, conditions that include livelihood, food, security, peace, a stable environment and freedom from external tyranny.”blessedunrest 1 Still confused? Skip to the 100-plus-page appendix, a list of movement-oriented concerns from child labor to “green banking” to climate change, reflecting years of post-lecture business-card collecting on the author’s part. Hawken, the ecologically conscious founder of the gardening chain Smith & Hawken as well as a number of other enterprises involving things like sustainable agriculture and energy-saving technologies, makes the movement’s disparateness seem not so disparate — in its critique of markets, for example. “If there is a pervasive criticism of global capitalism that is shared by all actors in the movement, it is this observation: goods seem to have become more important, and are treated better, than people. What would a world look like if that emphasis were reversed?” The movement, most importantly, is very lowercase, its sensitivity being its great strength and, naturally, its tactical weakness. Do-gooding will always have a perception problem. Mountaintop-removal mining rarely risks seeming behind the times, even though it is; Amazonian tribesmen’s marching on a World Trade Organization meeting seems futile and quixotic, even though it’s not. The rationale for the movement is sprinkled through the book like smelling salts. By the middle of the century, Hawken writes, resources per person on the globe will drop by half. Pesticide residues are prevalent in soft drinks in India. The World Bank helps pay for an oil pipeline through the Mindo Nabillo Cloudforest in Ecuador. Species extinction and poverty abound while profits soar. “The world’s top 200 companies have twice the assets of 80 percent of the world’s people, and that asset base is growing 50 times faster than the income of the world’s majority,” Hawken notes. According to Hawken, the movement’s modus operandi is to work at the edges, on lower levels. The movement is an alternative to the old choice of Communism or capitalism, and the current one of freedom versus terror. “Instead of isms it offers processes, concerns and compassion,” he writes. “The movement demonstrates a pliable, resonant and generous side of humanity. It does not aim for the utopian … but is eminently pragmatic.” When you read about the movement, Hawken says, its members are usually described as anarchists or at least nut jobs - as was evident during the anti-W.T.O. demonstrations in Seattle in 1999, when a bumbling police force turned a protest into a riot, and the TV news crews focused on the relatively few ski-masked window breakers rather than the scores of scientists, conservationists and community service workers who were demonstrating. Hawken sees the roots of the movement in the dawn of abolitionism in 19th-century America and in Gandhi’s Thoreau-inspired civil disobedience — even though the abolitionists and Gandhi would probably say there had been a movement, also with a public relations problem, long before they showed up. The high point of the book is Hawken’s excellent critique of the chemical industry’s attack on Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” in 1962, which shows that the corporate P.R. response to ecological criticism has not changed much. Carson (who kept private the cancer that was killing her) was billed as a hysterical “spinster” and a “fanatical defender of the cult of the balance of nature.” One doctor, dismissing Carson’s indictment of DDT and other chemicals, wrote that ” ‘Silent Spring,’ which I read word for word with some trauma, kept reminding me of trying to win an argument with a woman. It can’t be done.”…cont http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/0... Ever since I read the Media Matter story from several months ago I have been watching for signs that the story is true. They’re there, though underreported. The evidence is scant at this point because this country has been so been beaten over the head that we are a conservative country or at the very least, center minded. I say not true, there is a shift occurring under the radar that is going to rise up and smack both conservatives and our politicians in the face. This country is becoming more socially minded, less inclined towards war. They’re fed up with lies and corruption and if any of them would pay attention they would realize that the polls indicated that corruption was a big reason the dems took a majority in 2006. It can’t be stopped now, it’s gathering momentum. If you look you’ll see it’s not just in this country but Globally, Take a look at South America. Really all we have to do at this point is keep on keeping on and bide out time. For despite appearances to the contrary, it’s on our side.
Myth: America is Conservative New Report Documents Progressive American Majority Independent Public Polls Debunk Conventional Wisdom That Americans Agree With Conservative Agenda “Washington, D.C. - Today, Media Matters for America and Campaign for America's Future released a special report, "The Progressive Majority: Why a Conservative America is a Myth," documenting how the conventional wisdom that Americans are overwhelmingly conservative is fundamentally false. Through decades of public opinion data from nonpartisan sources, the report shows the majority of Americans hold progressive positions on a broad range of issues. "This report shows that on issue after issue, most Americans agree with progressives and have for decades, despite what we hear from the media." said David Brock, President and CEO of Media Matters. "The conventional wisdom advanced by the media -- that the United States is becoming more and more conservative -- has been debunked repeatedly by independent public polling, but that hasn't stopped them from perpetuating this clearly flawed perception." Media Matters and Campaign for America's Future conducted this study by examining the past 20 years of independent, nonpartisan polling data from sources such as the American National Election Studies (NES), the General Social Survey (GSS), and Gallup polls. By compiling all of this data, we have examined not only the top-level conclusions, but the underlying questions asked in each survey.” Cont… http://mediamatters.org/items/200706130002 “CHICAGO — The Democratic Party is growing more liberal for the first time in a generation.,,cont There is greater liberalism today, both on economic issues and in opposition to the war," said Robert Borosage, co-director of the :Campaign for America's Future, a liberal group that saw attendance at its June "Take Back America" meeting swell to several thousand from just a few dozen six years ago. "The conservative era is ending." The Democrats' shift to the left carries some risk, but probably much less than it would have in years past. That's because independent voters — the ones who swing back and forth and thus decide elections — also have turned against the war and in favor of many more liberal approaches to government. "There is greater support for the social safety net, more concern for inequality of income," said Andy Kohut, the president of the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. "More people are falling into the liberal category based on their values." Cont… http://www.mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/... New Hampshire Becoming More Liberal Democratic Control Manifested in New Laws “According to a Boston Globe article, posted on boston.com, New Hampshire, known for decades as a haven of conservatism, is now exhibiting the signs of a move to liberalism. Democrats now control both houses of the state legislature and among the results have been the legalization of same-sex civil unions, a law that bans smoking in bars and restaurants, a state budget that reflects a 17% increase in state spending, and a near miss on a mandatory seat belt law. New Hampshire, according to the Globe, is the only state in the nation that does not require the use of seat belts.” Cont… “The Globe reports that politicians are divided on the future of the liberal Legislature and the shift from right to left of the state. Some New Hampshire Republicans contend that the control of the Legislature by the Democrats was an aberration caused by a combination of factors: an anti-tax Democratic governor, no strong Republican challenger, anti-Bush sentiments, and the Iraq war. Republicans feel that the situation will be corrected as voters rebel against the actions of the Democratic majority. Others, however, point to the fact that many of the new laws were bipartisan productions. Andrew Smith, according to the Globe, says that the fall of the Republican Party to the Democrats, was not a surprise. He said that it had been on the verge of collapsing for many years, and finally did so in 2003, the year of the Democratic takeover. The Globe quotes him as saying, "The fact that it finally fell down didn't come as a surprise to people who had been watching it closely." ttp://www.associatedcontent.com/article/299775/n... * Kudos to the Duer who came up with that term, I saw it in passing and think the shoe fits. As I watched KO last night I saw that smirking cretin, Jennings, tell a congressional committee that he couldn’t tell them what job he performed at the white house. That he was following the mandate in a letter from the president that claimed executive privilege. Can’t tell a committee of congress what his job is? Can’t tell us, the American, what job we are paying him to perform? He certainly isn’t a noc, so why the secret? Privileged information is it? To do what, by which authority? The royal prerogative, a dictator’s vainglorious presumption? Did even one Senator fantasize about jumping his desk and reaching out and choking the truth out of that smug little twit? No, bet not. That would be too reminiscent of torture and Abu Grahib. Just another little ditty on the list of crimes that have been ignored. Spectre (misspell deliberate), that illusion of a senator, described Gonzales as wily. In my lexicon he would be called a liar. A criminal liar who is contemptuous of Congress, the Constitution but mostly, of we the people. My sneaking suspicion, creeping up on me over days and weeks is that he isn’t the only one contemptuous of us. His boss is, we all know it, and so it would seem, are the other two branches of our government. Why else would the courts rule against the humanity of the people in favor of the ponzi schemes that call themselves insurance companies and tell the people who suffered through Katrina that those payments made to insurance companies were actually another form of graft and the only restitution that is going to be made is to the state of La., in the form of newly accessed property taxes, on property the state has declared has been undervalued for years and now they, the citizens, who have been ravaged by a monster storm, are going to have to pay up, big time. Then there is Congress, all huff and puff, blowing nobody’s house of cards down. Uncle Ted, one of the biggest crooks in the Senate, is having a spot of trouble but none of them will say a word against him because, if he, slippery seal that he is, escapes indictment and charges, he will exact revenge and they’re scared of him, as they seem to be of most things. The only person getting what they want out of this Congress is George W. Bush. How dare they sit there while they were dissed, disrespected and spit upon and not do anything? Oh yes, just like Gonzo, Jennings and his boss are too wily for them. I wonder…will that general the marshals are chasing or Rove, Meirs and Bolten answer the subpoenas they’ve been served with and appear? If they do deign to show up will smug little smiles contort their lips? Will there be even one contempt citation if they don’t? Not one liar has received one yet. Perjury charges? Not likely if the past be prologue, and we all know, impeachment is off the table. Apparently that covers all impeachments as I don’t see that anything will happen to the resident, his vice or the little man on the side that perverts our laws. It is vacation time after all. What is a citizen to do to regain rights, lawfulness, treasury that has been stolen or given to cronies in stacks of bills belonging to us, a sound infrastructure, a restored Constitution, truth? How are we going to get rid of these miscreants who are taking everything from us. Our country has become structurally deficient and what I can’t see, tell, guess…is how we are going to build a bridge to our and everyone else’s future. One that won’t collapse on us. I wish I knew. In the past six years General Wayne Downing has been on numerous news shows, both network and cable, opining on the war. Inevitably, he has stood with the president. And to this position he seemed to bring the credibility of a military man who knew what he was talking about. What was never said, and is never a disclaimer, is that Downing is a neo-con, on parity with the likes of Frank Gaffney, also a spinmeister for the administration. Why, in all the interviews he’s done has this never been pointed out, him called on it? It is inherently dishonest, though not unexpected from a neo, for him to posture giving an unbiased military view, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. Below are links which identify his true position for anyone interested.
