host..I assume that puts me in the denial crowd since I am more open to compromise and not as accepting of the ACLU/Greenwald rhetoric that IMO exaggerates the impact of the FISA Amendments.
rb....thanks for understanding, even if you dont agree.
So, for the record:
My Personal Resolution of Deniability
Whereas the accomplishments of the Democratic majority to expose and correct many of the abuses of the Bush Administration are numerous and comprehensive (see accomplishments), and
Whereas Uber Conservatives will deny such accomplishments and proclaim all Democratic actions to be political motivated by persons who don’t get it or are dishonest, and
Whereas Uber Liberals may declare such accomplishments insufficient and ideologically impure for not going far enough , and
Whereas, by most measures, a majority of American reject an extremist agenda, either uber conservative or uber liberal, and support or lean towards supporting a left-center domestic agenda and more mainstream center foreign policy/national security agenda , and
Whereas the Democratic party has expanded its tent and grown in the last six years to be more diverse and represent a broader spectrum of such policy positions, and
Whereas the leadership of the Democratic party recognizes that building a lasting and effective Democratic majority requires compromise, consensus building and a pragmatic and flexible approach to governing rather than a rigid ideological response.
Be It Resolved that many in the Democratic party in Congress and in Internet Political Forums will continue to pursue a pragmatic progressive agenda that has the support of a majority of Americans in order to achieve the goal of a more transparent and open government and respect for the Constitution and the rule of law.
Be It Furthered Resolved and speaking solely for myself, I have chosen such a practical and solutions oriented approach of my own free will and that I am in full possession of my faculties and not in denial.
