When Republicans Were Cool

|

Remember when Republicans were cool?  I do.  I think back fondly to Halloween 1993 a few days before the New York City mayoral election rocking out with Rudy Giuliani, Senator Roy Goodman and hundreds of Young Republicans from around the country to pulsating neo disco music and gyrating transvestite pole dancers at Webster Hall in Manhattan.

Rising Tide Against Conservatism

|

The tide continues to rise worldwide against conservatism.  The swell began last year with the Occupy Wall Street movement and has now been caught up by European voters eager to break the yoke of severe austerity.  Even Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is tacking to the left saying recently that his fondest memories are of vacationing in Paris, the city of light that is a pariah to those on the right.

The Judeo-Christian Tradition: A Unified Approach

|

We have spoken before of developing a unified world religion or at least one where people can pick and choose aspects of different religions that appeal to themselves in their spiritual quest.  The question is where to start with unification.  What will the first step be?  The answer lies in the Judeo-Christian tradition.  The holiest day for Christians is Easter with attention also being paid to certain days prior to Easter like Good Friday. 

Going It Alone

|

It is obvious from the Supreme Court audio of the conservative justices’ questioning of the healthcare law that the country is hopelessly divided.  Its conservative red states against moderate blue states, those who believe in science and those who do not, those who believe in helping humanity and those who do not, those who believe in peace and those who do not, those who believe in education and those who do not, those who believe in equality for all and those who do not.

Boycott Florida

|

Americans should boycott major attractions in Florida like Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World so that these corporations will bring pressure on politicians in that state in order to bring about change to what is now institutional violence against blacks which has now come to a head with the killing of teenager Trayvon Martin and the lack of attention paid by local police to this crime.
