Buzflash Editorial: "...No Choice "C" in the Battle to Restore Democracy"

So true! Enjoy!

On Saturday, we wrote in our e-mail alert that we believed that liberals who smugly disdain outrage and think that if they are "polite and civil" democracy will be restored, that these people are cowards and deserters from the battle for democracy.

It is incredibly self-indulgent at a time when the forces of good and evil are battling for control of this great nation to think that you can somehow change society by just being nice. Anger and outrage make many a person uncomfortable, but no one said fighting for democracy and decency would be like reading the New York Times followed by a leisurely Sunday brunch.

What makes us mad is that these fellow Americans are enabling an administration that is betraying our national security and our Constitution. Their sole interests are the preservation and expansion of personal power -- and the enrichment of corporations that are part of the Bush Dynasty network and financial supporters of the Republican Party.

The American people are just pawns in the Bush Dynasty "Great Game." And a lot of them are coming home in body boxes from Iraq and Afghanistan. (That country is falling apart too, in case you haven't read the articles buried in mainstream newspapers.)

A lot of people thought Tom Paine was bothersome too. But he helped create the ferment for a great democracy called the United States of America.

We are not going to let a bunch of self-serving incompetents sink this nation into a banana republic.

We're not about to give up.
