Reply #24: 1970s, really [View All]

[Lorien]

the 1990s was hardly a "liberal" decade! I was appalled, while working for corporate America in the early 1990s, at how blatant sexism and racism have become AGAIN in the workplace. When I would ask WHY I was making far less than my slower, newer, and less talented males peers, they would just say "you're a woman; you can get married. Men need to support families (these had none)they need stuff". Yeah, right. Tell that to my single mom who raised both of us when my dad ran off with another woman. :grr: :grr:

I agree that the torch needs to be passed-to REAL liberals. Progressives who are damned proud of being Progressive and will FIGHT for REAL values; equality, tolerance, environmentalism, worker's rights, education, diplomacy, a economy that supports EVERY citizen, etc.

When the left moves right, it tells the world that our positions are to be moved away from, while the right is where all the good ideas are. Plus, it only moves the center further right and emboldens the far right to become more radical. Enough. If the left wants to become "tougher", it need not become pro-war; it needs only to scream down right wing moles like this creature, and all GOP "commentators", pundits, radio hosts, and politicians.Time to get loud and get bold, or become entirely irrelevant.
