Moving beyond blame - looking forward on 9/11
Maybe it’s the anniversary that softens my heart and makes me want to do good. But I feel that the response to Bush’s lack of response is veering towards overblown. We’ve been so outraged since he even got into office with less than the popular vote, and he’s only rewarded rich white people every day since. It’s easy, and redeeming in a sense, to be able to hurl one massive, bloated-body-ridden GOTCHA at this profoundly flawed administration. His numbers are already 38% approval now. Unbelievable. Almost like the majority didn’t want him in office in the first place. We run the risk of being loud and angry and unhelpful. We need to show why we'd make a world of difference in charge.

I feel that the Left, newly re-branded as “Progressive,” needs to be just that. We need to lead where the criminals in office cannot. Let them flounder and keep saying “blame game” over and over and over again. Now our leaders such as John Kerry (President), Al Gore (President), Hillary Clinton (might be President), Nancy Pelosi, Henry Reid, and others just up and start doing the job that Rove and his smear staff just don’t understand. Because they never came to DC to govern, but to loot and pillage tax money and wallow in flaunting power, dreaming emptily that they had the integrity of our founding fathers.

Because 9/11 and Katrina aren't just the past -- they're preface.

1. Hard to govern when you're not in power
because the People voted for a Bold Leader.
