Left Wing is on the Defensive
It is hard for anyone on the left to not feel they are clearly on the defensive these days. The right, whether it is Christian fundamentalists or hard line neo-con hawks seem to be winning at every turn. Baring some unforseen event Bolton's approval in the Senate is a forgone conclusion. There will be necessary hand-wringing and the like but nothing is stopping that train. The President continues to press his huge tax cut agenda for the upper class, while saddling a massive tax burden on the poor, middle-class and youth of tomorrow. The religious right continues to hammer the judiciary and push ever harder to kill the filibuster. It's demise doesn't seem quite so certain as the Bolton nomination, but it is close. The religious fundamentalists are also making serious inroads in many states to elevate creationism to an equal footing with evolution. Despite intense effort of resistence the President continues to drive his agenda to tragically impair social security. Huge campaign contributors, like the oil, gas, coal and pharmaceutical companies seem to be minting their own money, they are making it so fast. What they want, they seem to get. There might be some Democratic initiatives that are encouraging, but on this particular evening I can't think of any of them.
