Last night I sat and watched the news with all the tributes to Senator Edward Kennedy and I realized that he was the last of his kind. The Liberal Lion of Senate is gone and there is no one left to fight for people like me anymore. I’ve come to the conclusion that people like me, the liberal left wing of the Democrat Party, are either dying off or no longer being listened to. This summer I got to spend an evening with friends in Eugene, Oregon (which like Bloomington, Indiana has become a place of exile for liberal minded people) and had that odd feeling. What we stand for, and what we feel America needs to do as a nation is not only longer relevant but reviled. Sad but true. I’ve kind of lost hope in the system and unfortunately no longer have the will to soldier on. Senator Kennedy will be sadly missed.
I feel so alone now.
