A Bittersweet 4th of July...

As we celebrate Independence Day 2018 focusing on the following and fighting to preserve our freedoms and civil liberties has taken on a new urgency. With the election of Donald J. Trump our cherished freedoms and civil liberties face the greatest internal threat than at anytime during our modern history.

Trump and his conservative and Christian Evangelical allies wish to mold freedom and liberty to fit neatly into their belief system and world view. By legislation and conservative judicial fiat they hope to impose their world view and morals on all Americans. In short, they wish to roll a hundred and fifty plus years of social and economic progress back into the dark ages. We cannot allow an Orange Haired lying narcissistic authoritarian to facilitate such a horrendous change and reverse American progress.

The following is an excerpt from and article published in The Washington Post written by Dana Milbank.

Freedom from Trump’s constant attacks on women, immigrants, people of color, gay people and Muslims.
Freedom to work and live without discrimination, harassment and violence because of your gender, race or religion.
Freedom to get medical care when you or your children are sick.

Freedom from a rigged economy in which the top 1 percent own more than the bottom 90 percent combined.
Freedom to marry whom you choose.
Freedom to make decisions about your own body.
Freedom to send your kids to school without fear for their safety.
Freedom to breathe clean air, to drink clean water, to live on a habitable planet.
Freedom to elect your leaders without the rich, or foreign governments, choosing them for you.
And freedom to speak, to protest and to publish without the threat of violence.

    Macine Waters certainly gives a lot of credence to the evolution Theory, doesn't she?

    One spectacularly ugly, cheap ululating noisemaker like that could easily set the progress of Race Relations back a couple of hundred years. at least

    That stupid woman has done more to promote the cause of bigotry and intolerance than anyone since the days of Bull Connor, Huey Long, and Byron de la Beckwith.

    The worst thing about it is that It's so unfair to the growing number of Negroes like Dr. Carson and Condoleezza Rice and others less well known who've done a magnificent job of realizing their great human potential through honest hard work and great forebearance.

      We know it is VERY difficult for you, but, at least try to post your own thoughts, assuming you actually have one, instead of copy and pasting one of FT's comments left on other weblogs.

      "to the growing number of Negroes like Dr. Carson and Condoleezza Rice"

      And it is obvious that Jack's "Negro" like this IN THE MODERN ERA, while not as bad as the actual N-word, outs Jack as someone who has at least a mild hatred of black people.

    Blessed are those who shun mysticism and embrace reason.

    Blessed are the visionaries who break the stranglehold of tradition and fait.

    Blessed are the many who toil for progress and truth in the face of derision and scorn.


    Blessed are the humanists and all who stand for equal treatment under the law.

    Rejoice and know that knowledge, wisdom, reason, and light shall overcome the darkness and shackles that religion strives to lay upon you.

Our Biggest Creditor {China} Tells Us "The good old days of borrowing are over"

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...
