It is high time that the Democratic Party return to its roots [View All]

I am talking about the working class. This party, which is now made up of one faction or another, used to have a solid base. It had one simple, and PURE, goal: to help all people (especially working stiffs, small farmers, and small business owners) live a decent life through economic reforms.

I don't know what we really stand for today. I still see the economic aspect in our platform only it has been drowned out by "Under God" in the pledge. I mean does it really serve everyone if some humanist wants to impose his "religion" on everyone else and demand that schools don't allow "Under God" in the pledge? I mean honestly! What is more important? A good job with fair wages or removing "under God?" Health care benefits or insisting people say "chairperson" rather than "chairman." Where the hell are our priorities? We are letting the tail wag our dog, man. Maybe proponents of these fringe causes need to take a breath and look at the big picture. Yeah, Clinton was/is correct: it is about the economy. This is also what Zell Miller was trying to say in his ugly Hitleresque way at the Nazi Party Convention.
