Not just posts. Editorials that are passionate and timely and educational. I swear I would feel like giving up if I didn't come here and get another boost. <br /><br />This piece was at another blog and after reading it last night I am grappling with my agreement with Chris Hedges. Because of that my bubble has burst but there is nothing like my fear and loathing of Republicans to get me back to the bubble factory, i.e., at least one local campaign as a volunteer (our extremely important gubernatorial election). <br /><a href="http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/march_to_nowhere_20101005/" rel="nofollow">the Hedges' piece</a>Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-58919920414947983752010-10-07T19:03:27.802-07:002010-10-07T19:03:27.802-07:00*lakeviewer - Thank you.

The key is community organizing and community action. Look for pressures on your community being exerted by malevolent outside forces and fight back. Win or lose, you are building solidarity. That is where political strength lies. We are not as isolated as we think; we need to start working together right where we are. If you can find a handful of like-minded people in your area, get together with them, choose a cause, and get to work!Hattiehttp://hattie.typepad.com/hatties_web/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-87788865228028079292010-10-07T08:21:54.274-07:002010-10-07T08:21:54.274-07:00The problem is not changing the tea partiers' ...The problem is not changing the tea partiers' minds. Can't be done. The issue is getting democrats and independents to think and vote. If enough do that, it doesn't matter what the far right does. So it's good to sing to the choir and get it motivated as we lose by us, not by them.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-90865451348126734492010-10-07T04:58:48.341-07:002010-10-07T04:58:48.341-07:00*Xtreme English - It seems like moral law is no lo...*Xtreme English - It seems like moral law is no longer part of the culture.

Keith Olbermann had a very touching interview with the man whose house it was. The "victim" (because that's what he was) at least made some sense. that may not be against any local laws in TN, but it's against moral law.Xtreme Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536661018563937509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-80617931508748913892010-10-06T12:27:13.321-07:002010-10-06T12:27:13.321-07:00*tnlib - Unfortunately the ones who need to read i...*tnlib - Unfortunately the ones who need to read it will never see it.

He pointed out that we had a Civil War and survived that as a country. Yes, we have to believe in our cause, keep working to get people out to vote, but not let those turkeys get us down.
