I just came home from my precinct caucus. I seriously doubt I will be returning. When we were in the process of filling our allotted number of delegates,we had more volunteers than open positions. Someone made a suggestion regarding how we might eliminate some people. The suggestion: " I think anyone who is a white male should step down..." I didn't even stay to hear the rest of her suggestion. I left. (Actually, I not left, I more center) ;) I wasn't going to attend this evening because I have been getting the feeling that I am no longer welcome in the DFL party because I am a "straight white male". People told me I was just being silly. So, like lots of people, I took time away from other things because I want to help. Unless you are marching in lock-step with the party, you are not welcome. Oh, and by the way, if you're a white male, you are the problem.Get lost. I may not be a DFL poster boy, not being in a special interest group and all, but I've given one hell of an effort over the years. See ya later.
