re: #99 Rightwingconspirator

Is the Berkeley City Council considering honoring Pvt. Manning as a hero any less nutty and backwards than Texas school boards denying evolution?

Yes. The city council may pass meaningless resolutions affecting a small number of people. The texas school boards do meaningful stuff that has actual effects on large numbers of people.

All of this is perfectly arguable of course, but the Democratic Party is not for me. Just not willing to end opposition to some of my principles.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. The Democratic party doesn’t have a coherent position on gun control— you’ll notice that with a Democratic majority and a Democratic president, gun rights didn’t erode one whit. And Berkeley didn’t even pass the damn resolution.
