I'm through licking my wounds from the election. How about you?
We need your help in waking the Democratic Party up. Vent a little anger! Click and sign our petition to the Democratic National Committee and send it to your friends.
Didn't signing the petition help? Don't you feel a little better already?
I don't know how much good the petition will do. But, I do know that the more signatures it gets, the more impact it will have. And, I felt a little bit better just by signing it.
The election proved that Zell Miller was correct about one thing: The Democrats are fighting with spit-balls and the Republicans are nuking us.
Amazingly, the airwaves are full of horror stories about what George W. Bush will do now that he has political capital to spend. Why wasn't this message getting out BEFORE the election?
We have a lot of work to do. We must hold the Republicans accountable for their election day fraud and voter disenfranchisement. And, we must formulate our plans for the war with the Republicans.
Over the next few weeks Radio Left will be discussing where we go from here. We need your participation, your brain-power, and your creativity.
We have to meet the Republicans' firepower. Karl Rove is a master at using propaganda and other sophisticated techniques to implement his low-down, filthy-dirty tricks. We must learn to do this even better than Mr. Rove and his henchmen.
But, can we do it without losing our own integrity? I don't know the answer to that one. But, I am going to find out!
We know that our agenda is based on traditions of freedom, equality, and mutual respect. But, we're fighting with spit-balls.
The right-wing claims that God is a Republican and tells them what is moral. Analysts are claiming that no one understands the underlying moral values that support Democratic, progressive, and liberal policies.
But, our morality is based on a principle that is even more universal than the Republican God. In Judeao / Christian tradition, it's the "Golden Rule" -- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Under many different names, this Golden Rule applies to all major religions, to pagans, atheists, and agnostics alike -- In other words, it transcends all geographic, political, religious, cultural, and social boundaries.
Yet, the fundamental rightness of our agenda never penetrates the public consciousness. Should our first task be to educate the public about the moral basis for our policies? The Republicans might simply claim that their Republican God trumps our Golden Rule!
I intend to get some answers over the next few weeks. So, tune in to the discussion and let us know your thoughts as well. We need you to be part of the process.
