Freedom Minichu

History is in your hands—President Biden
We fight to defend our freedom and democracy against the banana Republicans who have converted Lincoln's Party into a dangerous cult of personality—Jamie Raskin     
Trump has a rap sheet—Jasmine Crockett


Freedom Minichu

in a democracy
it’s said politics is the art of compromise
papacy

when truth contorts
when God fearing fascists arise
blood sports!       

donkeys
freedoms demise
pleas!

in a democracy
when God fearing fascists arise
pleas!

Duke Beaufort Date: 9/2/2024 7:15:00 PM Anaya, I think this is great! Compromise is a very good thing. When we see the results of different approaches we can focus on what works well provided we are open to the facts and not dedicated to our own outcome. What we face now on the fascist side of the spectrum should frighten all of us. It does have cult appeal, but it's never going to deliver what it promises over the long term...just wealth for a small minority until all gets demolished. Ouch!! Login to Reply

Robert Gorelick Date: 8/20/2024 8:34:00 AM True democracy has existed in small indigenous bands of no more than 50 or 60 individuals. What we have is a representative democracy, pretty good, but not perfect, better than before. No matter how democratically we evolve, unfortunately our base human nature gets in the way, anything approaching perfection. Well done, Robert Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 8/20/2024 8:56:00 AM Tonight's, DNC Obama speaks, I was a little bored with last night's convention, same ol same ol, but Hillary was a treat, she noted the barrier-busters who came before her—including former Rep. Shirley Chisholm, who ran for President in 1972; and former Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, who was nominated for vice president in 1984. I was impressed and moved, she could have been bitter, but instead chose to Go Forward! Ty Robby!

I Am Anaya Date: 8/20/2024 8:47:00 AM "You once said this isn't a democracy..now own up to it, I put my family into your hands now do something" I got this quote out of the movie "Walking Dead" not so much the zombies, but the gangs of people left to fend for themselves against one another. Ty, Victor for smiling with me! hugs
