Searching for a movement.
My problem is that I was born about 50 years too late. And if you consider yourself a progressive like moi,-not a dumbocrat- you probably feel the same way. The A-merry-ca we live in today will never be the A-merry-ca we hoped that it would be. Poll after poll tells us that A-merry-cans are more conservative than progressive, and that most A-merry-cans, when it comes to their politics, like to play it safe. Anything that seems to lurch away from their sense of normalcy sends them into a panic.
I have been thinking about this a lot lately, especially after reading Harold Meyerson's excellent article in the Washington Post, and after reading some of the comments on this very blog. ( I think it was La-Coincidental.)
