So... what do we do, become anarchists? This "Democratic" bull shit isn't working when the minority continues to steal the vote from the majority!

11. Call me a whiner...
...but I do not and cannot believe John Kerry lost this election. It was stolen by GOP election officials in Ohio and Florida. I do not believe America will have another truly democratic election unless and until we have some major civil disobedience, conflict, or war!

16. Yes, but consider the thunderous silence from the DLC
concerning the massive, blatant fraud at all levels of this election. There should be lawsuits all over the place, from class action civil rights suits against Sproul and his organization to libel suits against Regenery to suits against Repug voting machine companies.

There are not.

I think those DLC pigs are nice and comfy with 4 more years of Bush fattening the rich at the expense of the rest of us.

Hell, I read today that they even want to keep the wildly incompetent McAuliffe as party chairman.

7. Your statement presumes revolution
And a very violent one. It is not a choice of "democratic" or "anarchic", at least in my view. Instead, it is a question of enlightenment. We really are closer than we think. Much closer than it would appear to most. It is important to remember what it was like, how people viewed the world only a century and a half ago. We have come so far, and this is not an irreversible step back. In the larger picture, take heart.

Are we going ot be the hard core anarchists of the 1800s and early 1900s or the wannabes of today?
