President Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi did what no one has been able to go for at least fifty years. President Obama deserves a little "Happy Dance" time.

This is a call to action. I just went to Senator Russ Feingolds page and sent him an e-mail. The House of Reps and the President of the United States did their part and now it's time for the US Senate to do it's part to bring America closer to the Health Care Reform we need.

I just filled out my 2010 Census form. You would think that with all the fuss and huff the teabaggers and Alex Jones troofers threw over this thing, they would ask me a heck of a lot more than what they did. Despite all the claims of socialism and accusations of government being too nosey, this form asks for nothing more than what you can find out on friggen Face Book. I mean, with all the hoooplah over this thing, I feel like I'm missing some pages.

Oh, I know. This isn't going to be a rec-list worthy diary. Many of my diaries aren't. As a matter of fact, the last time I was on it, it was because I was bashing Sarah Palin as a Christian from the Left which most likely confused some who think that all Evangelicals are one big mushy cesspool of insanity. But that's another topic. I want to talk about hate and how it has no place in humanity regardless of whether or not you believe life on earth began as a result of intelligent design or whether you believe it began in a great BOOOOOM because no one reading this was there. With the growing threat to our planet and thus all of our collective existence, hate is an emotion that humans can no longer afford to embrace.

The title of my diary is in response to the following questions in the sentiment expressed by my fellow progressive activists;

Why are we still supporting the Democratic Party ? Why are we still sending them money ? Why are we still working our butts off to get them elected ?

Why ? Because WE ARE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Not Washington politians. Not Liberal talking heads on MSNBC. We are. It's our party. Let us not get discouraged by this yo yo game being played on us by the House and Senate.

I am a Gen X-er who's part of the Political Correctness generation so I rejoice when I see America as a society make every effort to remove the stigma of words and phrases that hurt others and tear them down. But , I am having some trouble with the way we are addressing this issue with regards to the word retarded. I grew up in a small community in California, and I remember seeing kids who were treated special. They did have a special bus that was equipped to accommodate them and yes, because there was a considerably smaller number of them, their bus was shorter in length than the one we boarded to and from school. And we were told it was because they were Special Needs children. Not retarded. Not stupid. Not idiots.

I was just told by my new boss that in order to keep my insurance , I would have to have three times more coming out of my check (BIWEEKLY) than already is. As some of you may already know, I had a major surgery last year and I have a condition that I will have to take care of for the rest of my life (surgical menopause). I have a yearly physical exam coming up and as a single person who has to pay all of my own living expenses, I cannot afford to be paying three times more for my insurance. I am very much pissed off right now, but I'm not quite yet at that psychotic teabagger stage. I can't let myself go there because an angry African American woman with untreated menopausal symptoms could be a threat .(snark?)

He would go bat-shet crazy. He would lose his ever loving mind. He would have to be relieved of his duties. Vice-President Biden would have to take over for him. He would be found sitting in a corner , rocking back and forth babbling to himself incoherently smoking a Marlboro Lite.

I understand that this is going to be one of those "tell us something we don't already know" diaries, but I'm not writing it for that purpose. I am writing it to remind my fellow Progressives what type of people our critics are . When we hear self identified Conservatives demean and attack us for being Progressive, remember what they are and take whatever they say about us as a compliment. Because to be a Progressive, is to be against Conservatism. And to be a Conservative is to be a stingy , greedy , selfish ***** ~~people~~. That's not me defining them. That's what they admit to .

I worked on the Obama campaign so I am well familiar with a practice I like to call the Cirque de Défaite or Circus Of Defeat. It's a practice that was repeatedly launched against our campaign via the opposition and Media to depress voter turnout and push a certain meme. Massachusetts , has found themselves in the same position. But they should not be discouraged. Turnout trumps POLLS. I've said it all throughout the Primaries , Caucuses and General Election.

.....then you will get rid of Race. Period. It's as simple as that.

I, like many , many others of all ethnic backgrounds , are really getting sick of the destruction caused by this thing called Race. And I , like many , many , many others of different ethnicities , have had it with Race altogether. If we really want to get rid of Racism , we will do what needs to be done. There is a way, but I am afraid that there are only a handful of people in the Scientific community who would be willing to do the hard work necessary to put an end to this practice once and for all.
