[Peace-discuss] [Peace] why is the demonstration on Sunday? because the Progressive Fest 3 is on Saturday

[C. G. Estabrook via Peace-discuss]

David is unfortunately correct. So long as "progressive" is taken to mean support for the Obama administration and the Democrats (and even Clinton) - and not a call for the reversal of their military and economic policies - it should be opposed by those appalled by the actions of child-killer in the White House. The Israeli massacre, e.g., could not continue without their support.  --CGE

The meaning of the word "progressive" must include this aspect; otherwise it has been essentially co-opted by those who represent corporate and military-industrial interests; I fear that that is in effect the case in Champaign County. Unfortunately, true progressives have no serious choices in relation to the national offices that are being contested in our area.
