Posted on 05/10/13 at 02:13 am in response to Opposing same-sex marriage has made Pastor Jerry McAfee a lightning rod

While I do not agree with his politics nor his Biblical readings, I respect that he has his own vlaeus and right to promote them.

I think we need to go a bit further. Pastor McAfee is being consistent Doug. His politics are for racial and class equality. I hope once we legislate liberty for our gay brothers and sisters to be able to marry that we will fight as hard and rally as hard for ending racial disparities in school, and neighborhoods and in the economic engines of our...

Posted on 12/05/12 at 11:50 pm in response to What Minnesota's Republicans want in a 'fiscal-cliff' deal

the more I wonder if they are indeed as "conservative" as they espouse? Indeed Shawn Hannity belies the neoliberal position quite candidy when he argues the Tea Partiers have given in to "Obama's rhetorical position" and begin to squabble, as Boehner and his elite capitalist cronies are beginning to do, over revenue increases as they try and sneak under our noses in libelous rhetoric of Liberty such as "tax system reform."

Union of the mid 20th century beurcratized to compete with the oligarchies and monoploies; they adopted the insitutional strucutres of neo-liberal corporate capitalist growth technocrats (think "John Gault") and sold...

Posted on 10/18/12 at 12:08 am in response to Area homeless shelters swamped and worry about what’s ahead

Sadder yet is the consequences of homelessness on children's mental health and school achievement. I cant wait to hear Dennis Tester blame the parents while continuing to support tax cuts. I work with families who contact my company looking for help with theri kids emotional and behavioral problems due mostly to the effects of poverty and the effects of trauma on parents and theri kids. Folks who deride homeless adults and homeless families as merely collateral damage for our economic...

Posted on 12/23/11 at 01:43 am in response to Should the media report Brodkorb rumors in Koch scandal?

IF it smells like an elephant... its probably a conservative cover=up. In these days of conservative social values is it any wonder that when we citizens spend this much time politley discussing a story, it si probably truer than we care to accept in good Minnesota nice values.

The liberal mind will jump to decry the moral relativity as proof why gay marriage is a weak ideal whie the conservatives just refuse to talk directly about the issue and attempt to erase its memory with...
