Blogging from the left, to make things right

The purpose of this blog is going to be a place where i can vent about politics, while giving the readers a chance to get some information.  Likewise, the reader is welcome to vent as well, through comments of course.  I have had it with politics in this country.  We need some real changes if we will ever live the true meaning of our creed.  I believe my political views are very American.  I believe in social, economic and political justice.  However, I am not naive.  I know the people in power will not willingly give up their power and priviledge.  They don't want to live in the America that our forefathers had envisioned.  They also think they have a monopoly on what it means to be an "american."  The right claims to embody the values of America. 
I couldn't disagree more.  America has always been about change.  We have moved to the left politically, over time, not the right.  We as Americans have pushed continually for America to live up to its own high standards of granting every citizen life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It has been a long hard fight, with many of our freedom fighters giving all for freedom.  Martin Luther King had a dream that one day we would live out the true meaning of our creed.  He died, but his fight lives on. 
I believe in fighting for what is right.  We live in a democracy.  We have more power than we realize.  Change will take place only if we push for it, everyday., never to give up.  Unrelenting, uncompromising  justice is what we should demand.  No less.  Some people give in, and give up.  Yet, some people never give up.  We all will die someday, but our plight will carry on.  That is who i want to be, I am no longer happy setting on my sofa bitching and moaning.  I want to do something.  Complacency is the enemy of change and progress.  Do you think the slaves gave up?  No!  Many of them whipped, beat and even killed, they still never gave up.  They demanded it!  Freedom is not easy and is not cheap.  The tree of liberty has often been replenished with blood.  So the dream lives on, and we the people, of this United States need to take back what is ours. 
So this is an overview of this blog.  Please read it.
