What we are fighting,who will do the best job for you and your family and why
There are many extremist groups that wish the US and the powers that be harm by any means necessary. There are many nations that would rather that we not be number one. This is the natural condition of the ecology of nation-states. Due to technology even the most minute portion of society can co-opt any creed and via the tactic of terror effect and affect even the most mighty giant. Bin-Ladin isn't an Islamo-fascist, that's a hyphenated oxymoron. He's a Theocratic Reactionary Islamic Militant Sociopath, or TRIMS.
He is of a small portion of people in the world that not only think ill of the US and of the powers that be, but are willing to die and kill anyone to achieve any infliction of pain on the "alpha" nation.
How the "alpha" nation reacts. That's the test. The tactic of terror is a mechanism for political pressure, and how members of a democracy that is so corporation dominated process intelligence, information, and events is crucial to the long term viability of our United States. Terror has caused the retraction of the rights endowed to you by your creator. Terror has allowed fear to rule the ballot box in three straight American elections. Fox News, talk radio, and the right-wing Internet are leading too many voters to false conclusions. They are tabloid driven money making machines who are not looking out for you. The Economist, a Conservative weekly, by contrast, is looking out for you. It's not Conservatism, it's the Corporate Evangelical Reactionary Neos that have hijacked that ideology and our nation. Lincoln Chafee should be in a museum as an example of more rationale times.
Terror is never going to go away. It's too easy in our 2006. We need to mitigate it, and work to change the conditions that foment support for TRIMS. Not the way Bush does.
We need a secular-scientific approach to economic development, political development, and the development of moderate societies actioned by understanding of and implementation of effective diplomacy.
I think we shouldn't underestimate the fact that the world prefers and would rather work with American Democrats then American Republicans. Our Agendas are different. Our priorities are different. We apply the scientific method augmented by a few thousand years of human wisdom to not only write better laws but also execute those law in an excellent manner.
The Democrats of 2006, not the 1990s, not of any other time. That's who we need. The Democrats who would be the 2006 Freshman Class. These Democrats are convicted by fiscal restraint, modesty, and real ethics reform as well as the best ethics of the past. Looking out for Working people. Trust busting. Freeing people from scams, corporate fraud, and general haves vs. have not abusive behavior. Health Care for all. Election Reform, Campaign Finance Reform, Lobby Reform. Let Democrats write the laws not Corporate lobbyists. Our choice is between Faith in Corporations and the Supernatural or Faith in Reason, Science, and humanity's natural and accrued values from where ever they are drawn. Values like tolerance, liberty within reason, higher wages and real benefits means more saving, more kids in College, and more people who own their lives instead of their employer and that week-to-week paycheck.
We are handing in the wrong direction with regard to economic policy. Our infrastructure cracks, we're susceptible to disaster and attack, people work harder for less pay, The Executive is experiencing no real constitutionally commanded over site.
Yes the Democrats can and will do better. Read "The Plan" the book by House Leaders. Check out "Blueprint" the policy option newsletter from the DLC. There are tons of specific policy proposals out there by Democrats. We'll debate them, vote on them and make them work. Anyone who tells you the Democrats will be no different, that they have no plans, is a liar. Democrats are superior because we are constantly evolving, learning, and growing. Progressing, pushing the boundaries of what is doable, intellectual curiosity. That's the value set of any party that can best help any nation.
