Reply #12: Great diary that came from non-Kerrycrats which made it extra sincere [View All]

as to how great his speech was (I'm not saying we're not sincere, but from the POV of others). Unfortunately, it's off the front page. You know, when I look at the most rec'd diaries on dKos, it's just unbelievable how half of them are uninspiring and not even that interesting, yet this great speech got no props from most of the Kossaks, whether it be the community or the main bloggers there. I mean, it's okay -- nobody is going to take my joy away of what a great speech that was, but we can't blame the Right for everything. There are a lot of people on the Left who are devoid of the characteristics that make America great.

As far as all of this anti-NAFTA, anti-globablization stuff from the '90s, I'd say life was pretty damned good back then. Had Democrats stayed in charge I truly think they would have made some changes to keep the society more equal. I'm a little annoyed with the Greenies, especially since Nader went to the same high school as me, and he has been nothing but trouble in that town, and nobody likes him (Winsted, CT). Don't get me wrong -- his consumer protection stuff was great, but his big political vision is highly unattractive to me, and he's kind of a jerk. These "pure" people are not trying to move the country forward; they're only there to whine while offering no solutions.
