There's nothing redeeming or politically valid in Sanders speaking at Falwell's Liberty University

134. it's like you believe I appeared on this earth just in time for this campaign

...let's make something clear. I wouldn't grace that university with the appearance of my shiny ass, much less afford them legitimacy with a presidential candidate address.

It wouldn't be a surprise to people who know me well, but it would likely make your head spin at the sight of my flight from O'Malley's campaign if he makes a similar appearance.

It's dismaying just how many here appear to place fealty to these politicians above principles and values they claim to care about. I don't think I'm intolerant or without perspective, but there are things that I care more about than supporting politicians, in elections or in office. I've demonstrated that here at DU countless times and taken heat from almost every side of the political spectrum at on time or the other.

I can also be supportive of these same individuals when they make the right choices or advocate for things I believe in. I'm not much of an economic activist, but I'm a stickler for issues of race and justice; a stickler for issues of justice and war. You'll seldom find me equivocating on behalf of politicians on those.

Oh, and I am 'classy,' and I don't need reminding to 'keep it' classy. It's something that just comes naturally with me.
