The dark underbelly of America contains numerous warts, boils, and cancerous tumors, inflicted by that loathsome grimoire of madness that the elected leaders of our nation have become.


Well, I'm FedUp and I'm not taking it any more

WTF is There Left To Recover?

Recovery? What is there left to "recover"? - Democratic Underground


Will we recover our domestic manufacturing base?

Will we recover living wage jobs that contribute to society-wide prosperity?

Will we recover a strong unionized work force that guarantees fair wages and protections for all workers?

Will we recover a thriving middle class that not only provides for itself but also makes socio-economic upward mobility possible for those at the bottom?

Will we recover a time when seeking to buying products "made in the U.S.A." wasn't an exercise in futility?

Will we recover a progressive tax system that sees the wealthiest paying a share not less than the working class?

Will we recover a strongly regulated capitalism that guards against the abuses of the greediest among us?

When the powers-that-be speak of "recovery", just what exactly do they think this "recovery" will consist of?

Liberals got women the right to vote.

Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote.

Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty.

Liberals ended segregation.

Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

Liberals created Medicare.

Liberals passed the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.

What did the ignorant conservatives do?

They opposed them on every one of those things.

Every damn one!

So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.
