I've been on Dkos for a number of years. In that time there have been many contentious issues, ugly primary wars, pie fights, etc. There have been periods when I didn't participate here very much, others when I've logged on many times a day.
So this is my community. One thing I've loved about DailyKos is the attention paid to our troops, even when many of us have been concerned about, even opposed to, our country's wars. The gift boxes, IGTNT diaries and thousands of respectful comments over the years have reflected well on this site.
I respectfully submit the following, as a perhaps unorthodox, but heartfelt attempt to say it again: let's pay attention to what's going on in our name.
This is a song I wrote and recorded last week.
