After reading the diatribe closing with, "Excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall," it's painfully obvious that the march to the right continues unabated. It is its usual angry pronouncements that are arrogant, presumtuous, and grossly judgemental. It rings with its usual fever pitch, and if nothing else, it ought to cause thoughtful Democrats to unite.
I have to say that I resent the accusation assuming Democrats are moral relativists void of concrete values on which to stand. Nothing could be further from the truth, yet the right-wingers, true to form, are, "shouting it from the rooftops," like town-criers of yesteryear. While annoying, it cannot be simply brushed aside because it feeds an apparent need to possess an enemy; Democrats are that enemy to those staunchly partisan Republicans because if there is no "us/them," they seem unable to function. In campaigning, it works unfortunately; all the more reason for we Democrats to unite.
As Democrats, we cannot take lightly the lies of hate-mongers. For whatever reason, mean-spirited contestations are popular, and it makes people believe that they somehow belong. We as Democrats have our belonging, and while it doesn't spew hate, it is a better way.
