There is Nothing Liberal About Grassroots Volunteer Activism

Or is there?   I can't keep track of what Obama says and/or what he means when he says it anymore but I think he wants us to think up a new word for "liberal."   He seems to like Compassionate Conservative.  I'm going to suggest Roosevelt Democrat, which is what I use to define myself to people in the real world because it's true and I want to reclaim Roosevelt for liberals.  Sneaky.   

So I'll keep working on tuning my ears to hear the Obama Dog Whistles.   I'd better hurry up though because the campaign is coming to PA this weekend.   You can sign up here.

Forget dog whistles. You need to read what I had to say about dog language. It's much more relevant.

Compassionate Conservatism in Action

Zinn


  • "[O]ur time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice."

Bono


  • "True religion will not let us fall asleep in the comfort of our freedom. Love thy neighbor is not a piece of advice, it's a command. ...

    God, my friends, is with the poor and God is with us, if we are with them. This is not a burden, this is an adventure."

The Reverend Al Sharpton


  • Ray wasn't singing about what he knew, 'cause Ray had been blind since he was a child. He hadn't seen many purple mountains. He hadn't seen many fruited plains. He was singing about what he believed to be.

    Mr. President, we love America, not because of all of us have seen the beauty all the time.

    But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.

Marx


  • ''With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent will produce eagerness, 50 percent positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime which it will not scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged.''
