Anti Any War
Byhenry April 27, 2007
One has to wonder what some politicians are thinking, when one considers the following exchange (via MSNBC): It wasnt so easy for Obama to avoid the firebombs from the two peaceniks on stage. Kucinich upbraided his rival for talking tough about the use of force against Iran. I think that it’s important for people to…

Blaming and Sympathizing with Groups

Recounts: The Scripts Continue to Change Hands
Byhenry November 30, 2016
Political discussion in this country seems to have somewhat more in common with trash talk among sports fans than it does with any form of constructive dialogue. OK. Now that I’ve practiced understatement, let’s look at the current state of political talk. I had hopes that I might find my Facebook feed more palatable after…
