[Jakes Progress]

because some here refuse reality. They prefer bravado and fine speeches. They prefer "winning" over principle. They call it compromise when all you really do is give the other side what they want and you get only what they would have given anyway. They disdain principled reality and think that calling someone a purist is an insult. Without views like mine - and the majority here on DU - we would not have any progress at all. Without principled people calling out the sham, our party would already be in talks with the republicans about merging. You do know that the antonyms of pure are impure, bastardized, contaminated, polluted dirty, and dingy. If you are not pure, which of these would you say best describes your political views.
