The U.S. only has two viable political parties; therefore, Michael Steele needs to learn the difference between a Conservative, the Right, and a Liberal, the Left, by reading “The Conservative” by Ralph Waldo Emerson:
http://www.emersoncentral.com/conservative.htm

“There is always a certain meanness in the argument of conservatism, joined with a certain superiority in its fact. It affirms because it holds. Its fingers clutch the fact, and it will not open its eyes to see a better fact. The castle, which conservatism is set to defend, is the actual state of things, good and bad. The project of innovation is the best possible state of things. Of course, conservatism always has the worst of the argument, is always apologizing, pleading a necessity, pleading that to change would be to deteriorate; it must saddle itself with the mountainous load of the violence and vice of society, must deny the possibility of good, deny ideas, and suspect and stone the prophet; whilst innovation is always in the right, triumphant, attacking, and sure of final success. Conservatism stands on man’s confessed limitations; reform on his indisputable infinitude; conservatism on circumstance; liberalism on power; one goes to make an adroit member of the social frame; the other to postpone all things to the man himself; conservatism is debonnair and social; reform is individual and imperious. We are reformers in spring and summer; in autumn and winter, we stand by the old; reformers in the morning, conservers at night. Reform is affirmative, conservatism negative; conservatism goes for comfort, reform for truth. Conservatism is more candid to behold another’s worth; reform more disposed to maintain and increase its own. Conservatism makes no poetry, breathes no prayer, has no invention; it is all memory. Reform has no gratitude, no prudence, no husbandry. It makes a great difference to your figure and to your thought, whether your foot is advancing or receding. Conservatism never puts the foot forward; in the hour when it does that, it is not establishment, but reform. Conservatism tends to universal seeming and treachery, believes in a negative fate; believes that men’s temper governs them; that for me, it avails not to trust in principles; they will fail me; I must bend a little; it distrusts nature; it thinks there is a general law without a particular application, — law for all that does not include any one. Reform in its antagonism inclines to asinine resistance, to kick with hoofs; it runs to egotism and bloated self-conceit; it runs to a bodiless pretension, to unnatural refining and elevation, which ends in hypocrisy and sensual reaction.

And so whilst we do not go beyond general statements, it may be safely affirmed of these two metaphysical antagonists, that each is a good half, but an impossible whole. Each exposes the abuses of the other, but in a true society, in a true man, both must combine. Nature does not give the crown of its approbation, namely, beauty, to any action or emblem or actor, but to one which combines both these elements; not to the rock which resists the waves from age to age, nor to the wave which lashes incessantly the rock, but the superior beauty is with the oak which stands with its hundred arms against the storms of a century, and grows every year like a sapling; or the river which ever flowing, yet is found in the same bed from age to age; or, greatest of all, the man who has subsisted for years amid the changes of nature, yet has distanced himself, so that when you remember what he was, and see what he is, you say, what strides! what a disparity is here!

In nature, each of these elements being always present, each theory has a natural support. As we take our stand on Necessity, or on Ethics, shall we go for the conservative, or for the reformer.”

Let Steele speak and perhaps we can find out why it is that the Republican Party brings the populace into the Republican Party Tent, as the Tea Party Movement against the best interest of the American Populace, and why the Democratic Party threw the American Populace out of the Democratic Party Tent as the Howard Dean Democracy For America Movement.

The American Populace is the political voting strength of BOTH the Political Right and the Political Left.

If the Democratic Party will not lead the American Populace in its best interest, the Republican Party will lead the American Populace against its best interest.

It is in the best interest of the 20% minority population of the Professional Middle Class of the Democratic Party to ally itself with and represent the best interest of Governor Howard Dean and have Governor Dean once more lead the Democracy For America Movement in representation of the American Populace under Governor Dean’s Democratic Party leadership; in this way both the Democratic Party and the American Populace can be politically represented and the Democratic Party can continue to play a role.

Otherwise, the upcoming Primary Elections, the Congressional Elections, and the 2012 General Election will leave the Democratic Party out of office, a minority party without a sufficient constituent base to elect dog catchers, let alone higher office.

Steele had a liberal moment for which the Conservative Republican Party will more than likely get rid of him for his lack of understanding that the Republican Party is totally Conservative.

The PTB will shut down Steele at the source….media.

Much like they did Ron Paul when he was running for President.

“But it is maddening that Congress can appropriate $33 billion more for Afghanistan without anyone asking where the funds will come from even as self-styled deficit hawks insist on blocking money for the unemployed unless it is offset by budget cuts.”

$33 b for Afghan “pacification”, $2 b for solar power. Sound about right? And just wait until they come for your Social Security.

“Democrats need to understand that our base is increasingly uncomfortable with this war.”

Yes, and the more the “base” learns, the more “uncomfortable” they will get.

“‘It is not enough to allow dissent,’ RFK said. ‘We must demand it.’ If members of Kennedy’s party don’t remember this, who will?”

Remember this, Mr. Dionne?

Everyone who pays Federal taxes “supports the troops”.

“The point of public relations slogans like “Support
our troops” is that they don’t mean anything… That’s
the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create
a slogan that nobody’s going to be against, and
everybody’s going to be for. Nobody knows what it
means, because it doesn’t mean anything. Its crucial
value is that it diverts your attention from a question
that does mean something: Do you support our policy?
That’s the one you’re not allowed to talk about.”
(Noam Chomsky)

The most incendiary words came from the indefatigable Brad Woodhouse, the Democratic National Committee spokesman, who accused Steele of “betting against our troops and rooting for failure in Afghanistan.”

Dear Democrat Asswipe:

The conflict in Afghanistan was lost a long time ago.  You don’t have to root for failure.  It’s already happened.
