They absolutely do not. Line that out for me as well.
Most of this nation's uber rich agree with your politics.
I have considered these positions. This is the result of 46 (coming up on that next one) years of walking this planet, reading, learning (and unlearning a lot of shit that I took for gospel as a kid educated in Florida's panhandle in the 80's).
Despite K's protestations, I don't watch Maddow. Or any cable news. Shit, the only time live television is on in my house is for a sporting event.
I know that our country is great, but could be so much greater. We are tied to dying ideologies for the sake of enriching the uber-rich at the expense of the rest of us.
One thing I do appreciate about Wes is that he at least will have the conversations that many folks on that side of the aisle won't have anymore.
He agrees with those people on EVERYTHING it seems, but he doesn't shy away from the sparring matches.
Ehh. I took a gambol. It just wasn’t up to par.
Snake? This guy is lost.
He’s immersed in the lie. I don’t know what happened to him. It’s hard to fathom.
Okay, now you're just trying to stirrup trouble.
Shit, there's so much here. You still are building assumption on assumption.
Spell that out for me.
Oh, let's. I want to hear about the "equal opportunity" part first, please.
The totality of his writing (read: the vast catalogue not recited on MLK Day) is very surprising to some who think that truncated quote from his speech represents the entirety of his politics.
Kaos is about to swear you off.
I'm not rehashing this "cancel culture" canard.
Going to go ahead and point you at the increasingly irrelevant Bill of Rights...thanks, Roberts, et al. That 1st still exists. And while I don't put it past this SCOTUS to try and pervertedly parse it a la the 2nd, it's still the law. Keep your church out of everyone's government.
I'll get more into it tonight after work, but we can start with a discussion surrounded by The New Deal, how it incentivizes single parenthood, and how it has directly impacted the crime rates & overall long-term wellbeing of American citizens.
Another discussion we can have is surrounding the equal opportunities vs equal outcomes argument.
Or MLK's take to judge by the content of character and not by the color of skin. These days, all anyone on the left seems to care about is race & gender identity.
Speaking of race, did you know that some colleges are advocating for segregated dormitories? I am of the belief that segregation is a bad/evil thing, and hate that it is part of Southern heritage.
Censorship & efforts to enforce certain speech are a direct contrast of what liberals used to stand for. Yet, in today's world, we are in a constant loop of opposite day on this issue.
I know you are not religious, but it is true that this country was founded with Judeo-Christian moral values that guided foundational policies. We are all the better for it.
