First Post!
Dear Reader,
This is my first blog post, and I am having to learn some things as I go. Like how to post graphics here! I'll put some up as soon as I figure that out.
The idea for this blog grew from my observation, over the last several years, that the democratic movement in the U.S. had forgotten its philosophical foundations. Its political party was engaging in little more than developing issue platforms. Issue platforms are necessary, it's true. But it is even more critical that we be able to articulate the philosophical perspective, ideas and values which underlie those party platforms. Our philosophy is the pillar which supports the platforms we build upon it.
So, in following posts, I propose to present elements of democratic philosophy which I believe could be of use in that endeavor.

Some more wit:
This campaign is like a car. If you want to move the country forward, you must select "D." If you want to move the country backwards, then you can select "R."
(Told by Senator Nelson, Democratic incumbent from Florida running to be re-elected)
Super color scheme, I like it! Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing this wonderful site with us.
