Ever notice how some folks here have only the negatives to offer? An article claims that young people aere likley to renounce/oppose the Dems in 2016 and hte comment is something to the effect of, "Too bad they won't be going anyplace better". Or how, their assessment of any small victory is that it won't make any difference anyway". Kind of like finding a glass that's approaching half-full status and knocking it over so they can deem it just plain empty.
I guess it's a good thing we didn't have WWII commanders like such folks. Most of the soldiers would have eaten their guns after the "pep talks" prior to some pivotal and gruesome battles. "Men, we've been tasked with taking that patch of ground because it will deprive the enemy of a base and it will increase our own base for future victories. Oh hell, what am I talking about? The fact of the matter is that we've lost a lot of battles here and there, lost a lot of good men, and nothing has really changed. Taking this piece of land will be horribly tough and we will lose many of you to enemy fire because they fight really hard. Even if we win, we will lose o lot of you and it won't make any difference in the big picture anyway. If any of you wish to opt out, now's the time - we're all tired and I repeat, it will not make a damn bit of difference.
It seems that most of their input is designed to discourage, dishearten, and demoralize our side of the aisle and that folks from the other side of the aisle that may be lurking around have to get some warm tingly feeling when they read them.
The real iron is, that if they had been around during WWII and had the opportunity, they wouldn't have hesitated to take out Tokyo Rose (if they hadn't already declared the whole shebang a loss and become her cohorts).
If you're too tired and discouraged to fight a long and protracted battle, stop cutting down the efforts of those who would at least make an effort, and get the hell off the field - it's probably the most useful you can be.
Enlighten me as to any inaccuracies in my comment. Or are you of the belief that blowing smoke up our own hindquarters about the GOP and it’s negative impact on America through continued liberalism is our path to political salvation?
I am constantly amazed at how people consistently choose to pretend the ‘elephant’ in the room is something other than what it is. Do you believe that by moving away from one group of destructive politicians/philosophy and into the control of their ideological equals is in some manner a good thing? Do you feel that by pretending the GOP brand of liberalism is superior to the Democrat brand and therefore should be embraced by the millenials? Do you feel that ‘happy happy, Joy Joy” talk is what we need more of instead of recognizing issues for what they are?
