A possible lesson for national Democrats?

[MarianJack]

A high school girl keeps true to her values and refuses to apologize for exercising her First Amendment rights after she has been publicly brow beaten by her brown shirt school principal to do so.

Somebody in Kansas figured out that this young lady was Constitutionally protected. The Governor of Kansas (who took his sweet time to defend the Constitution as he'd pledged to do in his US Senate oath of office on more than one occasion) then apologizes to the young woman for the "over reaction" of his staff to her speaking her mind.

So, let's see now. The rightists demand an apology for truth, the apology is refused, then they back off and issue a face saving apology of their own for the phony nontroversy having taken place at all.

It seems to me like many of our Democratic leaders can learn a lesson from this brave young woman. Do they have HER courage to follow her example?

PEACE!

1. The difference is SHE had Conviction. The Democratic leadership is showing its' convictions with

every vote to cave to corporate power.

4. Ah, yes. Sad to say, but the cave in Dems are

The normal Dems now.

I bet we could run a small city on the efforts of the spinning FDR as he revolves in his grave!

2. This entire post presupposes something....

It is based on the theory that the Democrats WANT to do what is right but don't have the courage of their convictions to do so.

I used to think that. I don't any more. I'm now thoroughly convinced they are acting on their conviction$. Emphasis on the $.

3. Indeed. They are too busy counting the corporate cash left on the nightstand to heed "lessons"

or to learn anything from one brave girl's example.
