I'm having a foul-mooded day too.

I've never been compared to Lyndon LaRouche before, although I vaguely remember people talking about him back in the early 1980's(?).

It seems that serving in uniform was a natural for Kos, having come from a family that was steeped in the military junta of El Salvador. When his country was being overrun by Reagan's CIA-sponsored death squads, Markos came to the United States and joined the party of Ronald Reagan.

I think one thing that separates Blacks from whites is that, among Black people, you have to be more than misinformed to support Republicans. You have to actually be insane. Black people understand that a vote for Republicans is not just a vote as between alternative approaches to the same goals. A vote for Republicans is always inherently inimical to Black interests because White Power doesn't help Black people. Unlike Black people, whites have the luxury of crossing back and forth over the fence, prioritizing taxes one year and education the next. Blacks, for the most part, NEVER jump over this fence and never have to jump back again.

Maybe that's why there are so few Blacks at DailyKos and MyDD. We realize that although we might be among white people for a day, some of those whites were among the Republicans yesterday and may be among the Republicans tomorrow.

"Only after we change that which seemed essential do we realize how natural the "new normal" really is and how inevitable it always was."
