No, Vigilante, you haven't gone too far at all. The Democrats haven't gone far enough. They have allowed and even participated in outsourcing, union-busting, and deregulation, too, and all of these actions have led up to the miserable situation we see in Wisconsin today. This is an all out ATTACK on working people and must be met with full retaliatory force. The Koch Brothers and their vehicle, the GOP, must be derailed on this outrageous course of action. Now is the time for all true progressives to rise up to defend all that we have fought so hard for!
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who loves his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.
Reverend G R Gleig, survived the First Anglo-Afghan War to write in 1843:
...a war begun for no wise purpose, carried on with a strange mixture of rashness and timidity, brought to a close after suffering and disaster, without much glory attached either to the government which directed, or the great body of troops which waged it. Not one benefit, political or military, has Britain acquired with this war. Our eventual evacuation of the country resembled the retreat of an army defeated.
