Reply #5: Some things are more important than unity [View All]

I'm not terribly interested in singing Kum By Yah in a circle with a bunch of Limbaugh dittoheads.

These people need to be defeated, not "understood".

In the past we have had presidents who did what was right, even if some people would be deeply offended, and even if opponents fought it every step of the way.

Maybe Andrew Jackson just should have let the National Bank continue to run roughshod over the American people. We wouldn't want to offend the speculators and bankers.

Maybe Lincoln should have continued a policy of appeasement to the South as presidents had done for the last 60 years on the slavery issue. We wouldn't want to polarize the nation, now would we?

Maybe LBJ just should have avoided civil rights. Pushing that only antagonized the South and angered knuckle dragging white racists (later to become the base the the GOP).

The only unity I am concerned about is that of our party for this fall's election, because THAT IS THE REAL ELECTION!!!! IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS IN THE END!!! Every candidate seems to have a few crybaby supporters who are not prepared to take the pledge to support the nominee whoever it is.
