1. What a concept, to be able to question authority!

Every time I try to do that here on DU, I am met with 'you never have anything good to say about (fill in the blank)' or something of that nature. But no discussion at all of the issues raised. What that tells me is they know their favorite politicians are not doing what they should, but they refuse to discuss it. Too bad because if politicians knew they would not be given a pass for betraying those who elect them, they would be much more careful NOT to do so.

Blind partisanship is dividing and destroying this democracy as Jefferson I believe, warned it would. You can love something without enabling it when it is on the wrong track. In fact, enabling is anything but loving.
