It is not a treaty. » Posted By agrippa On March 11, 2015 @ 5:51 pm These people are doing nothing to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. In fact, they are making it easier. And, if the International Nuclear Organization makes an agreement with Iran, those people can do nothing about it. The root cause of this is apathy on the part of Americans; they do not pay attention or study the matter. And, they do not vote. » Posted By agrippa On March 11, 2015 @ 10:37 am Too stupid for words. Othello, Act 1, Scene 1 “You are a Senator!” » Posted By agrippa On March 10, 2015 @ 6:13 pm Remembering Selma – The Civil Rights Movement: What Went Wrong? James M Brodie, you are correct. There is, I think, another point: » Posted By agrippa On March 9, 2015 @ 9:43 am Netanyahu’s Alternative to Averting Nuclear War with Iran…A Conventional War with Iran Benjamin Netanyahu: There is, also, a domestic audience that he is preaching to. There is an election in Israel and he has to establish his national security credentials in Israel. As for other countries: he has told that story on more than one occasion. » Posted By agrippa On March 3, 2015 @ 7:44 pm Hate Crime or Not? You Tell Me It is shameful. » Posted By agrippa On March 4, 2015 @ 5:32 am Not a hate crime at all. It is a shame that they are practicing rational problem solving. But, typically, politicians do not rationally solve problems until all other options have been exhausted. Sad, but true. » Posted By agrippa On March 3, 2015 @ 7:36 pm Republicans Fear Latinos and Losing Re-Election More Than Terrorism The GOP may think that it will work. Their base is the Old Confederacy which is a one party region. All things considered, this is their best shot. They do need to stay in office. » Posted By agrippa On February 26, 2015 @ 5:50 pm Weak on national security eh?

» Posted By agrippa On February 22, 2015 @ 5:22 pm Some Thoughts on Race and Crime… Unfortunately, we will be living with racism for a long time. To me, the issue turns upon conduct. A white person can harbor prejudice toward black people unto the crack of doom. But, if that prejudice is not expressed in behavior, all that white person has done is to give himself a bellyache. Which is his personal problem. I, also, have to say that black people cannot rely upon getting much help from many white people. A lot of white people simply do not care. Sad, but true. » Posted By agrippa On February 22, 2015 @ 10:31 am Peelian Principles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_Principles Police Departments are not run according to Peelian Principles. That failure is a reason why people mistrust the Police.

He does not fit into the dysfunctional village that is DC. Most of the GOP; most of the “pundits”; some Democrats cannot handle it. » Posted By agrippa On January 29, 2014 @ 9:50 am People got the government that they wanted. The people who voted for those people are the ones responsible for this mess. » Posted By agrippa On January 28, 2014 @ 6:18 pm Social Security, Medicare, The Deficit, Poverty, Unemployment – One Vote Could Help Them All Increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour is an excellent idea; it would very useful. » Posted By agrippa On December 17, 2013 @ 1:42 pm Ladies and Gentlemen, Our Corporate Anthem If you want to have an effect, it is important to understand that politics is local. Candidates for state legislatures and HoR Reps are decided at the local election. Many of the candidates are promoted from city, county and school boards. The primary election is controlled at the local level. Money, of course, comes from higher up the ladder. The higher Party leaders parcel out the money to each district; which means if the Party ‘cannot win’ the seat, the candidate does not get much money. That is what made Dean’s ’50 state’ strategy so important. » Posted By agrippa On December 16, 2013 @ 4:04 pm NEWTOWN: One year later and seemingly no wiser Many people are no wiser. » Posted By agrippa On December 18, 2013 @ 4:30 am Huffington Post Goes NSA on Its Members I never thought highly of Huffington Post. I thought it was sensationalistic – it was full of clickbait. Huffington Post is not unusual – “if it bleeds, it leads” – the Daily Beast and Mother Jones are full of clickbait as well. » Posted By agrippa On December 18, 2013 @ 5:23 am Mandela was, truly, outstanding.

It must oppose no matter what. » Posted By agrippa On December 4, 2013 @ 5:09 am The sky did not fall. It never has; it never will. The ACA is a good bill which will help millions. It will even help those who say that they hate it. » Posted By agrippa On December 4, 2013 @ 5:07 am A Thanksgiving Tradition – 2013 Enjoy your Thanksgiving!! » Posted By agrippa On November 28, 2013 @ 10:09 amComments Posted By agrippa
Any agreement will go to the UN Security Council.
If approved, it is binding upon all.
On all points.
Far too many white people have not done the work on themselves needed to change their ideas, feelings and attitudes.
Their own lives and the lives of black people would be much better if they did this work on themselves.
No thank you. I am not buying what you are selling.
The USA is nowhere near becoming color blind.
I believe that it is politics as usual. They are the opposition.
They may be overdoing it; but, they are the prisoners of their passions. I am not surprised.
The members of the GOP who are not from that region have “to along to get along”. Just like the Democrats had to do before the Nixon “Southern Strategy.
And, I am pessimistic about it ‘dissolving’ soon.
Many years ago – 30+ – one of my college professors made a remark that racism ( he called it ‘prejudice’) would exist until the races were all mixed up. He may be right.
Morning Blog is a big time saver for me.
It is not easy trying to keep up.
I read the Morning Blog on a regular basis; it is- always – excellent.
Dc is a pretty toxic and narcissistic place; a large number of the politicians and ‘pundits’ do not work well with others.
They have the government that they have earned; not just deserve.
But, that will have to wait until the Democratic Party gains the HoR.
GOTV is at the local level.
Many refuse to see the connection between firearms and death.
I decided that creating clickbait was the editorial policy of the site.
The comments reflected that; in other words, the site trolled itself.
I just go there for the comedy.
It is how a website ( not different from print, radio or TV) makes money.
It may never have occurred without his actions.
my error.
But, the GOP, across the country, has about 45% of the votes no matter what. And, it has the “Solid South”; a region that is, currently, GOP.
The Democratic Party has to make sure that the GOP does not get the 5 or 6 % more it needs.
It is its’ nature.
The GOP does not like this bill; it never will. They are the opposition and they must oppose.
The MSM is a copy cat; or like birds on a wire. It cannot help being what it is.
