Reply #94: Never Back Down. [View All]

[kathrynjoy714]

What is absolutely astonishing to me is the willingness that this country has not only to ignore the poverty, joblessness, and unrest but also to cause it in so many other countries…purists must stand up for what’s not only in the best interests of this country, but also of other countries around the world. “Purists” from the Democratic Party have to stand up for their true beliefs; it’s a shame that so many democrats have become so moderate. I think your point is well made, not necessarily a rant as others have said, but rather valid truth from an intelligent democrat. What does this party even stand for anymore anyways? Our views must not conform and compromise what this party is about and has always been about in the first place. We, as Democrats, stand up for those who are struggling, those who can’t get on their feet, those who need direction and those who just need a hand up. This very conviction that our party holds manifests itself in every single other issue we stand for. Without these beliefs, there would be no hope for those who need us in this great country; and when it comes full circle, and we are dealt a hard hand of cards in life, we will be helped back up just like we helped those before us. To all you purists out there…never back down!
