Reply #26: one must articulate an enemy to unite against [View All]

but the greens view much of what the dems preach as anathema akin to what the GOP is doing.

look to what the GOP has done to the federal court system and its political appointments to positions of vast power in the executive branch to find deadly affect against the basic stands of progressives.

look at texas, two of three federal judges there are conservative republicans who will decide what to do about the renegade democratic senators trying to stave off the re-districting.

recall that ken starr was appointed because two of three federal judges in the DC circuit were conservative republicans.. and close friends of jesse helms. if one more democrat had been on that three judge panel, ....well, you know.

it is there, and in each dept under the executive branch where ideological political appointees fight against AIDs funding, clean air and water, employee rights, child and health care.

it is not the enactment of federal laws that count, but under what bureacratic rules they are applied that counts...just like democracy is ruled by who counts the votes.

the president is not hurting us all by himself, and alone he is not destroying that in which progressives believe, but his thousands of political appointments whose decisions penetrate to the most basic levels of the society are the real and direct danger to progressive positions.

this should be a rallying point to greens and democrats alike.

attacking bush alone is a losers game, articulating and attacking what his people have purpetrated might well be the key to the coalesence of the green/dem divide.

anyway, that's what i think.
