  1. So happy that DN picked up on this. This is one of the most significant public statements by a sitting Congressman this century. So very unfortunate that the good Christian church ladies that are funding this subversion, along with Koch and other elitist misanthropes who are the real architects and funders, will not see this or be aware of it, and would not understand it or be interested in it even if they did see it. And if they can construe the narrative of "right to life" in (what is to them a melange of meaningless verbiage) it would win their nod of approval. That is the world we live in. Rule of the evil through the manipulation and deception of the stupid. And as Gurdjieff said, "Even God has no defense against stupidity." Of course the left has their own version of deceiving and manipulating the stupid, but it is not nearly as effective, because it is not stupid enough, but with the rabid pursuit of meaningless gestures against symbols that nobody pays attention to anyway, and the censure of anybody not hysterical with a kind of reactionary pseudo-egalitarian woke fervor: that ignores near all of history and most of reality -- they come darn close. Isn't it time to give up this endlessly repeating cycle of futility we are kept enmired in so the power-elite can continue to consolidate their positions: which are even now all but unassailable by any means or from any psuedo-direction, such as the established left or right. It is time to evolve beyond government that is designed to be directed through manipulation by the power-elite and into a form of government that stimulates and elevates those with intelligence and talent without them needing to be the hand-maidens to the corrupt insular power-elite. We need to transform our political system into a NeoConfusian-technomeritocracy to serve the advancement of all citizens, without need for birth advantage, or privilege.

  2. Really. . . FYI Bill Maher gave more to Hillary during the last pres election than Soros. Soros is what right-wing nuts bring up when they have really swallowed the kool-aid. The reality is that, more than any other private western individual, Soros brought about the fall of Communism in eastern Europe through his support of the democratic movements, Like the unions in Poland. Soros is a minnow -- a fiction. The real evil manipulators behind the scenes are Koch and other polluters and the big money boys who don't want to pay taxes like Mercer. But I am open to a change of heart. You give me one verifiable source of information that what you say is true, that is not from some rabid right-wing fiction factory.
