that might be true of rank and file democrats, but it sure isn't true (in fact it's laughable and the epitome of bullsh!t shoveling that they'd even say such a thing) of the elitist leadership.

DU is the hard left of rank and file democrats. I didn't post this to say it was true, but to illustrate the difference in philosophy of the far right website "Free Republic" and the far left one "Democratic Underground".

If rank and file democrats feel this way, it is to their credit, although they will get duly sheared in their turn.

If you know this, why do you keep an emotional attachement to a party that you know will shear you also?

Getting sheared is an inevitable consequence of living on Earth among other humans. I like the Democratic Party because once in a while they take a break from shearing ordinary working people and toss them a bone. The Republicans don't. I like the sentiments expressed in the post above because it shows that the rank and file Democrats want to make peace with Republicans and work together, while what I've seen on Free Pubics is an opposite sentiment, that the Democrats and other "traitors" should be shipped to Gitmo or just plain shot. There are exceptions, of course, on both sides of the aisles.

My "attachment" to the Democratic party is not merely emotional, but also deeply rational. It is the people's party, to the extent the people have a party at all. The GOP is bought and sold and managed by hands far, far above the common ordinary guy. The Dems have to at least once in a while give that guy a nod. Are the dems on the verge of being co-opted? Sure. But the GOP was co-opted long ago and permanently.

With the Dems I get hope, disappointment and, rarely, something good. With the GOP I get resignation and endurance.

Your opinions and experiences will undoubtedly be different from mine.

One only gets sheared if one acts like a sheep. Actual human beings don't take advantage of each other, barbarians do.

Your party was co-opted long ago, before any of us were born. Recall that a Dem named Wilson rolled over for the bankers and imposed the Federal Reserve on us. The Reps went along with it. Neither party has seen fit to remove the shackle.

Can you name a successful monetary system that is still on a metals or commodity standard?

Monetization is an ugly reality of worldwide economics. Get used to it, because it ain't gonna change.

Ain't that somethin'? Even after hyperinflation like in Weimar Germany, Hungary, Argentina, Russia, Mexico, etc. etc. etc. the government just knocks a few zeroes off the currency, and reissues it. Everyone's savings is totally wiped out and the economy is set back a decade but they accept the new currency and the promises "it won't happen again" and the sheep go back to grazing.

Well, it is fucked up. We never should have gone off of gold, although if we hadn't I suppose we'd buying and selling in Saudi dinars or Marks or Euros or something...

I have no problem with not having a gold standard. Let the government do with their paper as they wish. It's the threat of throwing people in jail for not accepting it with legal tender laws that is the problem.
