Midknight Review -- new and revised: Nancy Pelosi's husband brags on the diversity within the Democrat Socialist Party, just before the campaign season begins.

Really? A tolerance for dissent within the Democrat Party? Only if you don't mind being stripped of your committee chairmanships, have your business and private homes vandalized. Only if you don't mind being publicly called every name in the book and charged with racism, on top of it all (i.e. Hillary during the 2008 primary season by Obama and Jeremiah Wright). Only if you don't mind being accosted by any number of union thugs, or sought out and prosecuted by the DOJ; let's not forget those midnight raids on your home by Homeland Security and the FBI, if you have been implicitly found guilty of being a whistleblower or, in any way, voice your criticism of the current Administration, publicly.

And where are the dissenters within this party? Seriously. Is there a high ranking party leader who disagrees on the issues of gay marriage, multiple and/or late term abortions, spending cuts, on opposing a balanced budget, cutting back on social welfare programs, growing Big Government and the like? Answer: There are no leaders within the party who differ on these issues.

The GOP, on the other hand, certainly has embraced diversity, both political/philosophical and ethnic. No, Dorthy, the two parties are not the same.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
