Thread Name: BS: Censorship at Dem Nat'l Convention
Subject: RE: BS: Censorship at Dem Nat'l Convention
Sorry Nerd, but I'm not a (spit) liberal. I'm an independent progressive leftist.
I don't give a shit about the Democratic Party, it is true. I care, instead, about what is good for my country and the majority of it's citizens.
I consider the Democratic and Republican National Conventions to be a sham of huge proportions, and don't mind saying so. If that pisses off the Democrats, then surely I've done a good job.
Democratic Party special interest money has bought the silence of the party's grassroots. Democratic Party special interest money has bought the silence of it's political allies: unions, civil rights activists, the environmental lobby, the gay rights movement, etc ad nauseum.
The Democratic Party is no more my party than the Republican Party.
I'm a patriotic American, not a political party apologist demanding political dissent from the party lines be silenced, like so many Mudcat posters are doing.
