Flight Pundit

The Democrats have decided to seek out help from people to set their agenda. Senator Dick Durbin has blogged and is seeking feedback on issues.

As we begin the new year, we herald the beginning of a new chapter in our nation’s history. In November, Americans from every corner of our country sent a message of change to Washington. America restored Democratic leadership to the House and Senate, and this change of leadership couldn’t come at a more critical time for our country.

Today, a new Democratic Congress is working to make America’s hopes for a better tomorrow a reality. Here in the Senate, much like Speaker Pelosi’s 100-hour plan in the House, our Democratic caucus has already unveiled an ambitious agenda to provide a new direction for America. But there is a lot of work to be done — so today I’m asking for your input.

Sounds fair enough huh?? This is democracy in action.

Some smart and intelligent people stood up to the plate here, to assist Mr. Durbin with ideas and suggestions:

We want you to treat the President the way you would if the Congress were the peoples architect, and the President the contractor, and this contractor then ripped up said architects plans and redesigned the work on the back of an envelope and failed to perform the work in a workmanlike manner, and had huge cost overuns and kickbacks…We expect he would be fired, sued, tried, imprisoned and forced to make restitution.

Get rid of the Patriot Act, the Warrantless Surveillance, all this talk about terrorism and al Qaeda, used to generate a war that trades blood for oil in Iraq and Somalia.

Put America back the way it was before the Republicans ruined it.

And this brilliant tidbit:

Immigration is a faux problem made up by Republicans to win elections. We spend more on our military than every other country in the world combined. It doesn’t need to be rebuilt, it needs to be audited.

People want to make sure certain regions of the country are not ignored:

And I’d really like a program developed whereby the Gulf Coast becomes a magnet region for not only the rebuild that should be much better managed so that small business people and not just big corporations get government help, but also utilizes renewable energy sources as part of the new infrastructure we have to build anyway - it could make the Gulf Coast our gold coast in less than a decade.

Others are concerned with health care:

The problem isn’t in the Bankruptcy bill (which was an abomination), but in a medical system that bankrupts those who need it most. Give us decent health coverage. Assist those wiped out by disasters. Fixing the bankruptcy ill to help people who can’t afford their medical care, or those hit by natural disasters — that’s putting a band-aid on a huge, gaping wound.

And of course, the environment:

Yes, I’m furious about the loss of our Democracy,but in the long run if we don’t act fast on global warming we are all dead as a species. America produces 25% of CO2. Per the BBC the Stern Report (sorry no linky pls google it) estimates a worldwide economic hit alone of 20% if we dont act fast. European nations are considering carbontaxing non compliers like us and China.

Had enough yet? The ideas and suggestions left in the comments section of blogs like Daily Kos, remind me of elementary school.
Lots of whining, complaining, endless chatter and buzzing, off topic conversations and little focus…in other words, a leader-less place like Daily Kos seems to attract those who are incapable of leading this country. These KosKids can be excused for their utter blindness to the threats of the world; their age and inexperience dooms them to be typical liberal minded youths.

Mr. Durbin, and his co-horts in the Senate, the Democrats, don’t act much older or more mature than the KosKids. They have proven, over time, that they have never grown up from their own days of youth and inexperience. As of this writing, there are over 700 comments in response to Mr. Durbin’s appeal. NOT A ONE OF THEM offers any solution. VERY FEW OF THEM make sense.
And they’re all extremely anti-America.

Just like all Democrats.

Reading Daily Kos is like being in a sweltering hot room full of fleas and flies that are constantly buzzing and biting. It saddens me to know these are Americans; it scares me to know these are our future leaders (perhaps). I really hope they grow up and soon. But I fear they won’t with idols like Mr. Durbin and John Kerry and Howard Dean and Billary Clinton- role models to these brats. Somehow, the liberal establishment has succeeded in creating another generation of totally misfit people.

Big Dog has a post about this too!! And some wizardly wisdom as well!!

And Kender has a couple points to make to about this Kos Kindergarten bulloney…
