Posted on November 4, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me… the republican party is in a death spiral of it’s own making. No political party can stab it’s base in the back, over and over, and survive as a viable party for long. … Continue reading →

The Anti Capitalist’s Irrational Hatred

Posted on April 4, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that irrational hatred is not susceptible to rational argument. No matter the elegance of the argument, the eloquence of the hyperbole nor the heights of logic, irrational hatred will never be dissuaded by it. … Continue reading →
