This is great! I'm collecting all of these quotes for inspiration to remember what the Founding Fathers really were like.

Mick, I agree with you about consensus building so much! It's the only chance we have. We gotta' consolidate our base. We need to bring together those with different Left, Liberal or Socialist agendas and work together as they have on the Right. The Reactionary Right may have factionalism and shouting matches too but they get it together enough to whip our butts. We need to preach to our choir, get them active and just as important, offer support to each other in our struggle to reclaim our country. This means that Deaniacs, Naderites, Liberal Democrats, Environmental Greens, Unionists, Working people who want a decent wage, Business entrepeneurs who see the future of America as more important than the bottom line, Young people who are imbued with the idealism of what makes our country great and those others who oppose the rigid authorian, bigotted, pseudo-religous wide-eyed evangelists, hegemonic corporate-state monopolists and war-mongering Reactionary Right-wingers. In union there is strength.

In Brotherhood and Sisterhood,

Frank
