Childish or boorish, if you will, behavior vs. Adult Engagement...
Edited on Sun Oct-31-10 03:27 AM by WCGreen
This is the difference between the tea party rallies, included Beckapaluza and what happened yesterday on the Mall.

Adult engagement. It's how mature societies operate, how they get things done, how they strive to get the best deal for their supporters while agreeing that the other side has valid points worth including.

We saw that in the Great Health Care Debate.

President Obama kept conceding points to the right but the hard right kept moving the line further and further away.

Boehner and Mitchell acted like Lucy enticing Charlie Brown to kick the football and suddenly pull it up at the last minute.

I ask you, when did being a member of a political party supersede your duty as a citizen of the UNITED states of America.

The Right, ever since I can remember, was all about taking us all back to some mythical time when white men ruled the world.

Got news for you guys, we, meaning white males, are in the minority and will continue to slip down the power ladder.

Do you really think that if we don't extended a hand to help up others that when they ultimately get to the top a tennis shoe won't be slammed against our heads.

Wake up tea baggers and smell the future.

1. Well said!
This shows a very clear, hard look at what is really happening.

Recommended.
