After reading a Progressive Magazine interview with journalist Chris Hedges I have come to a conclusion about politics in this country today. People are angry and they are directing that anger at liberals rather than conservatives. That may be because we don't expect much from the conservative position except tax cuts, states rights and less regulation of business. Same old shit just different day. This message has not changed in 30 years. But with liberals we had hoped for a "change" and a change to something better than the conservative dribble. We believed in that change and it didn't come. We thought things would be different and they are not. We are still at war, we still have the wealthy walking away with most of everything and we still are facing domestic programs in danger of being gutted to something we would not recognize. Yes, we are angry and it is the liberals and democrats (even thou they are not very liberal) who we will blame. This maybe what the "Occupy Wall Street" movement is all about. I do think if one is going to continue to vote, then a third party is the answer. A third party with a left leaning point of view.
