What former labor secretary Robert Reich says at left is exactly what I believe.
First of all, the idea that the Democratic party has turned into the “radical left” is pure GOP propaganda.
In any case, you either support American democracy, rule of law, truth, and the well-being of the common person, or you don’t. There really is no middle ground.
I can’t see it, if he means a national office. Why? He’s an ardent and outspoken Trump supporter.
Support of Trump wasn’t a political non-starter until his second term, but now the screwworm and the algae in the Reflecting Pool have higher approval ratings.
I thought the cartoon below was clever.
Makes us wonder how much more appetite Americans have for this insanity.
I’ll be the first to admit that most of what readers come across here is not my original thinking.
That said, people who are loud, rich or popular don’t impress me. If I’m going to talk to you about wind, solar, climate change, or phasing out fossil fuels from our energy and transportation sectors, it’s going to come from bona fide experts in their fields.
From “Mechanical Engineers Rock”:
Trump’s second term has shown us that he and his inner circle have limitless creativity when it comes to finding things to destroy and inflicting huge damage.
Hey! We can put more pressure on endangered species, driving them ever closer to extinction! Let’s get on that right away.
Here’s where you can donate to send a copy of the bible to the poorest of the poor African children.
Let the word of God explain to these children why they are dying of sickness and starvation. Certainly, their parents will be interested to learn this as well.
Always blame your opposition for the crimes you committed.
We baby boomers remember when the two dominant political parties were essentially indistinguishable. Eisenhower, a Republican, stood for strong Social Security, limited military, unemployment insurance, and a strong minimum wage.
What does today’s GOP champion? Cutting off all assistance for the poor, tax cuts of billionaires, slashing into Social Security (the money you and I earned) and starting a senseless and illegal war.
Who are the radicals here?
I just came across Sofo Archon, an incredibly interesting speaker and writer.
My only response to what he says at left is that you are, in fact, a leftist, whether you accept that or not. Anyone who says that he belongs to “Humanity and Earth” is a leftist by definition, just like anyone who wears the t-shirt below.
This is kind of like saying, “I am neither a Christian nor an atheist, but I believe in God and I accept His son Jesus Christ as my savior.” Sorry, that makes you a Christian.
The meme here raises an important point: Why are 30% of American voters still supporting a man who spends a great deal of time making ridiculous claims about an ex-president who left office 10 years ago? Doesn’t he have duties that pertain to making this a better country, one that offers its citizens a higher quality of life?
