Absolutely disgraceful and shameful

Back in the late 70s I spoke to a Heritage Foundation politician about abortion. He firmly told me his stance was that all such decisions were between the woman and her doctor. How far they have come - a complete reversal of views.

The Heritage Foundation is a Koch Brother’s project. They have always despised the very idea of government, especially regulations on businesses meant to protect our air, food and water.

Fred Koch was in tight with the John Birch fanatics. The John Birch Society looks almost tame in comparison to what we’re witnessing now. God help us.

I agree wholeheartedly. We know what they did; we know what they will do. We Dems cannot be "above it and let the truth win out." We have to fight to make sure the MAGAs don't steal/bully/ threaten and coerce this election. It didn't work last time, but they've definitely made headground with Trump's cult who will believe anything he and his says and repeats and repeats. They've become his parrots--if he/they don't like it, it must have been rigged (at which he is expert). It is disgusting and tragic, but with the "right"on our side, we have to be tougher than them.

Nobody knows better than you Frank. I’m quite sure my former democracy-hating Church leaders in Willow Spring, NC would be thrilled to never need to vote again. Once Trump is back in power.

Of course they deserve all the trappings of wealth and power. They are, according to them, entitled to it.

Most of what we call "Christian" today is a cultish belief system with a patriarchal power structure.
