Well…this is going to be a short one since the brain hasn’t been working that well the past few days…but I did want to comment on the signs of a progressive pushback to the nonsense that has come out of the tea party and even “normal” repubs lately…it used to be that progressives had no fight in them…they felt that they could reason with anyone if they would just sit down and talk with the opposition. But, it now appears that they have seen the truth that has been in front of their faces for years…that the right will not compromise, that the right will lie, cheat and steal to push their radical, women hating agenda…and we are doing something about it…like the thousands that have turned out every Monday in NC…the “Moral Monday” movement who are protesting the voter suppression, women suppression, and gay hating that is rife in the repub controlled legislature…and the many, many thousands who have turned out in Texas to protest the draconian intrusion into women’s lives there….we won’t win in Texas…not right now, anyway, but I think these two examples are the start of something big…the start of a movement that will take back the country from the money and the 15% of the crazies who are now attacking women across the country, who are still attacking gays and the poor…we can hope that this movement, along with the demographic changes that are coming, will finally put the nail in the coffins of the repub haters and get this country moving forward again…geez…
