1. Actually there were quite a few cults

that sprang out of the 60's and 70's.

5. Shows how cynical people have gotten about leadership.

and why we've been in the wilderness for as long as we have.

8. Movements have a purpose....

Beyond electing some politician who makes campaign promises based on single word slogans.

You know, the *Civil Rights* Movement, the *Womens Rights* Movment.

Not the Candidate X Movement.

Anyway, I thought Obama disliked the "excesses of the 60's", lol.

9. Change Washington politics Movement?

13. There is going to be a "change" in who is in the White House, period

Bush is leaving office.

Someone new will be there.

No one can claim that mantle.

10. We usually reserved the word "movement" then to describe

wide scale sweeping and ongoing work to reverse an entrenched and specific set of social wrong, not to differentiate support for one political candidate over another with similar platforms in an election campaign.

[bdamomma]

12. well it with be up to us, to tell them it's a movement and not a cult.

I guess they are up to no good, didn't they smear the word "liberal" eff them.
