Democrats Win, America Loses? (not by a Repubican)

Democrats Win, America Loses?

Before you jump to conclusions let me clarify the title of this editorial; in no way am I inferring that a Republican win would have been a good thing. As a matter of fact it is difficult to even find a Republican these days; it seems that they have been replaced by fascists while retaining the name of the party.

I am about to find out if my two biggest fears will come to fruition.
My first fear is that the Democrats of this nation conclude that our problems are now going to be solved simply because some politicians who call themselves Democrats took over. I fear they will become content and they will stop their activism and efforts to keep themselves informed (despite the relentless efforts of the criminal corporate media to misinform the public) about what really takes place in our government and in our world. They will do what the Republicans just did; they will allow their leaders to break every principle of their own party and they will support them because they have the correct party label on their name plate.

My second fear is that the Democrats were allowed to take control of Congress as a ploy by the people who really control elections in this nation, and I don’t mean you. This ploy would be to allow the Democrats to take over for a year or two. During this time the people who really control our government will do what they did in 2001 and we will see another 9/11. Be it a “LIHOP” (let it happen on purpose) or a “MIHOP” (make it happen on purpose) event, I believe something far more horrendous than 9/11 will take place while the Democrats are in control of Congress just so the people on the other side can say “I told you so! Democrats can not keep us safe!” This will pretty much put a nail in the coffin of anyone who is really a Democrat and it will surely lead to the complete demise of democracy & civil liberties. It can be the final step in creating a one world government with a tyrannical rule and most good Americans will not even understand this.

Now I want you to take a closer look at this Democratic Congressional victory...

1. So what would you have us do?

"STAY THE COURSE" ..... "If the blind lead the blind they shall both fall into the ditch".... there is a lot of 'doublethink' in this article .... and that's all you'll get me to comment on it, We Won! Peace. :)

2. As Long As BushCo People Are Walking Around Free

we have no reason to relax. When all the cronies, crooks, enablers, and office wives are in prison or out of the public sector, and the lobbyists and influence peddlers and buyers are vacationing at minimum security facilities, and we have Universal Health Care, Public Campaign financing, indexed the Minimum Wage to inflation, started reducing the national debt, strengthened labor unions and brought the troops home, when the Supreme Court has been impeached, THEN we might be able to take a week off. Because we have another 20 years of work after that emergency stuff.

4. I'm not much worried about the latter

except inasmuch as a terrorist *can* get past this incompetent Administration, and if one does, the Repuglicans and the media will blame the Democrats for it.

The former, I worry about. The reality is that, far from going silent in supposed "unity", we need to keep pushing our objectives in public and through lobbying our newly elected leaders. Why? Because our leaders are often facing a lot of pressure from powerful interests to do the wrong thing, and unless they get counterpressure from us they will cave in. They don't just "need" such pressure -- they want such pressure. Without it they have nothing to point to, no political cover, that would allow them to vote their conscience in the face of pressure from the powerful.

And again, I'm concerned that primary challenges won't be launched against Democratic incumbents who fail us. There is a time for unity, and it's called the general election. Without primary challenges when necessary, things will sink to the level of uninspiring mediocrity that will have the electorate again mumbling that there's no difference between the two parties.
