We have met the enemy, and he is us
"We have met the enemy, and he is us"
Walt Kelly

Evil or upsetting forces exist within, not without.

This is a twist on Oliver Hazard Perry’s words after a naval battle: “We have met the enemy, and they are ours.” The updated version was first used in the comic strip “Pogo,” by Walt Kelly, in the 1960s and referred to the turmoil caused by the Vietnam War.



This post is dedicated to all DU'ers who would rather sit on their collective arses, whining and complaining, not supporing posts that are calls to action, rather than being the activists that are so sorely needed.

'nuf said.

Peace & Keep On!

1. While we appreciate the efforts you have made and all your accomplishments

Not all of us have your viger and expertise. I know of no politician I respect more but please don't assume all of us are capable of your endeavors. We will strive to find and talk about all the news that gets neglected by MSM but all we truly are is a chat room bordering on think tank. Don't give up on us though because some really good ideas are generated here...
