Dems need more mo'

BuzzFlash has one of the best editorials I've seen on what's ailing the Democratic party. It takes us back to 60s and the civil rights movement, making an eye-opening stop in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Not much has changed there in the last 40 years.

Read it all but here's my favorite quotes.

For Democrats, it was a tense, but proud period. They had the law, the Constitution, and righteousness on their side. The hymn, "We Shall Overcome," became the rallying song for a generation that was motivated by the notion that America's greatness resided in the legal and equal rights it bestowed on all its citizens, not just the self-appointed few.

Maybe the Democrats are like the Jews who wandered for 40 years in the desert with Moses before arriving at the Promised Land. Maybe, someday, the Democratic leadership will re-find their passion and their conviction.

Democracy is the greatest experiment in government, a gift to all who are privileged to be Americans, and it faces a dire threat.

If this does not provoke passion, what will?

Really. How long do they think the progressives will wait for them to find some?
