Well WORTH a Watch!! Its a bit lengthy but words to hear well said.



from Crooks & Liars:

]Representative Keith Ellison came to the House floor tonight to explain what the Progressive Caucus stands for. In the process, he drew some sharp, biting, well-deserved distinctions between conservatives and progressives. It should be required viewing for every Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh fan.

In this short excerpt, Ellison gets very specific about his view of the American Dream. You should watch the whole speech if you get the chance over on CSPAN, but this was where he really got passionate and animated.



" The American Dream, but the dream I'm talking about is rooted in the Pledge of Allegiance. I've got to confess to you, Mr. Speaker, I love coming here to say the Pledge of Allegiance whenever I'm privileged enough to be on the House floor at 10 AM or 12 or whenever we open. I always feel good about saying the Pledge of Allegiance. I teach it to my children.



Note: for those who still doubt Muslims' loyalty to this country, please read that and view the clip over and over till you get it.

1. I don't understand how anyone could doubt their

loyalty.

But I have read about the Japanese being sent to internment camps. I heard with my own ears, when I was a kid, that Catholics were loyal to the Pope, not to the United States.

I guess only white Protestants are entitled to the American dream.

2. The G.O.P. Turning the American Dream into the American Nightmare since 1968.

Let them Own up to it. Great Depression 1937 all over again.

3. Impressive man

I had high expectations for Franken, but do not hear much from him or see him put himself on the line like Ellison. Every time I see Ellison I like, respect, and appreciate him more!
The contrast between him and Bachmann is staggering.
