Maybe what it means to be a Democrat in 2012 is radically different from what it used to mean. The "New Democrats" are a completely different species, as far as this "old" Democrat can tell.

I know who I am. I know that I don't fit the modern Democratic Party.

Your link expresses all the things that are driving me further and further away.
