Greetings everyone in the world of progressives. This is the Adirondack Howler for Thursday, November 11th, 2010. I'm sorry for the long delay in posting my thoughts. I had a major hangover from the elections, especially when the GOP laid claim to the House of Represenatives.
I have feelings of sadness that this country has returned to the people that offer a lot of short-sighted policies and ideas and disgust for the public who decided to cast their ballots for these people. My special angst is reserved for the millionaies and billionaires who donated all kinds of cash to our election campaigns this year -- no thanks to the Citizens United decision in the U.S. Supreme Court.
What is a progressive like me to do? I believe in continuing to bring stories to the light of day through my blog and when appropriate add my personal thoughts. I want to make time in my busy schedule to become more politically active in the progressive movement. I want to do this soon.
That is what is on my mind for the past week. My three cheers goes to anyone who voted for progressives. These people show me that our troubles and solutions are a long-term process. My three boos goes to anyone who voted either for the GOP or the Tea Party. Those people need to look in the mirror and search inside and outside for their better angels.
That is all I have time for now. I will return with a new post this weekend. This is the Adirondack Howler signing off on the 294th day after the Citizens United decision in the Supreme Court which opened the spigots of corporate cash and poisoned the well of our democracy.
Good night and good luck.
