  1. I consider myself a Bay Area Liberal/Progressive ... or I always did, or used to. Lately when I see the behavior of what now are called Liberals/Progressives/Demcrats it is revolting. I am fine with gays and gay marriage - it's a good thing, but the excesses and absuses of it turn me off. Same with the pro-Palestinians. It used to be that Liberal meant you were more educated and familiar with the facts of issues - now it just means you are a raucous rebel against everything, but naive and even ignorant about the facts. And there are now countless organizations that validate every lunatic idea that exists. It seems Liberals used to be about standing up to intolerance and abuse/exploitation, and especially against big business and corporations - and now the anti-big business and corporation arm has withered to be replaced with a lot of very weird and kind of repulsive behaviors and beliefs by some people.

  2. So, Weiner's been in SF since 1997, and knows about the housing crisis - and what has he really done. This is the first I've heard of it, and I live pretty close to SF.

  3. The tech stuff reminds me of just about any corporation in America. When it comes time to vote - whatever the workers think, a lot of time the CEO will weigh in and suggest to people who to vote for ... and it is always the most Republican or Conservative. This is taken up and influences the workers and has a chilling effect on workers - meaning that after something like that most workers will keep quiet if anything political is ever said at breaks, or lunch or on the job or even at offsites. So it is hard to tell where tech workers' loyalties are.

  4. Democrats in California are not just Democrats, they are the full political spectrum of anyone, including Republicans, who want to be in politics. Newsom is a virtual Republican. People forget how to helped to swing the 2000 and 2004 elections to Bush - TWICE, by marrying gay people right before the election, which mobilized Republicans/Conservatives throughout the country to vote for Bush - and Bush won ... though he did still have to be appointed by the Supreme Court in the worst most corrupt decision ever made in that body.
