Remember the 10%'ers ? [View All]

That was DU in the old days. We disagreed with the other 90% of Americans, even the majority of Democrats. This was mostly right after the attacks of 9/11. We were not ready to give up and surrender all power to George W Bush. Many Democrats, especially those in the Congress and the Senate, were ready to do exactly that.

We endured. I used to post mantras about Karma exercises, as experiments in meditations, to help us through the rough times. After one such experiment, I remember that George W Bush almost choked and died on a pretzel. :-) We were definitely in the desert.

We have experienced a lot. These times are only trivial moments compared to the challenges we felt back then. Because if we look back, we have accomplished or have helped to accomplish, so much. We survived Bush and Cheney. We have a Democratic President and Congress. The people voted for the first black President, something many never thought possible.

Though the trail may look dark ahead, we have traveled a hard journey to get where we are today. Let us not forget that as we trudge ahead.
