A
personal thought:
Having
gotten knocked for a loop with the flu, I've had nearly two weeks to
reflect on the charge – by some – that as a card-carrying
Democrat, the Party somehow lured me in like some kind of a powerful
drug and has kept me a slave to following the lead of the Democratic
National Committee – without thought.
Dear
flu has also given me time to reflect on the time and the energy
being put into cyberspace around what constitutes a “good”
Democrat and what does not, while “Rome is burning” in the form
of – Donald Trump -- mind you.
In hindsight, I don't think it's all that
complicated and I think the “unforced” process I went through to
get where I am at this particular moment in time as a voter reflects that. I've edited down
to its most simple terms. Take a look. Give it some thought. Share your own thoughts, if you'd like!
I
was born and raised just outside of Boston, MA where American History,
particularly American Revolutionary History, was something I walked
past in the form of memorials and artworks much
of my life. I also had a basic, but full public education in which
American History played a big part via U.S. History and Literature.
As kids, my friends and I played classic games of Hide n' Seek, Kick the Can,
Marbles, etc., but we also played “Sons of Liberty” and fought against the
British!
I
believe in “We The People,” (as in “one nation”), supported
by a Representative Government that, in turn, supports The Common
Good, as codified in The General Welfare Clause of the United States
Constitution to be determined by and implemented by The People
because the Health and Welfare of The People is what produces a
successful Nation.
My
process becoming a Democrat:
I
always knew I would only vote for people who shared my values and my
principles, as noted above. I also knew I was a part of some vague
“rugged individualism,” so I was never going to be labeled – I
was going to be an Independent. Damn it! And, so I was.
(I
even voted Republican a couple of times, locally, when Republicans
were really Democrats only pretending to be more fiscally responsible in
my small part of the world.)
In
1980, Ronald Reagan landslide-ed Democrats and I learned there is
much more to participating in the system of my government than I
thought -- not everyone shared the values and the principles I did and vision, strategy, tactics and winning moved much higher up on my
vocabulary list...
You
know the end of the story. I had to take a stand against the forces that were against my values and principles. The Democratic Party shares the values and principles that so I sought out the Party and I became a Democrat, a member of a Party that compromises tactically to defend what is ours and to win!
