Well, give it time and all wounds heal. In italics is my original post. I wrote it straight out of my heart and based on my personal love and experience with the First Amendment (I protested the Vietnam and Iraq wars and have demonstrated for BLM, People's Climate March, Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, and against NSA style surveillance, and Israeli Imperialism. I should have written this a long time ago but I only remembered after posting something on Trump/Clinton and seeing, ". . .the Bernie Sanders' Lie." What? Oh yea, the Palestinian thing. I had forgotten it (conveniently, I guess) because I had slowly come to realize certain facts that belie my entire post on Berdie Sanders. In retrospect, even his perceived shortcomings vis-a-vis the First Amendment should not have overwhelmed what I now know far outweigh that negative and, as it turns out, Bernie Sanders has A.) come out in favor of a Palestinian solution, B.) has, himself, continued to show reliance on the ...

[ Please see a later post that restores my Pro-Sanders viewpoint] I loved Bernie Sanders and his anti-Wall street platform but recently I discovered a hypocrisy that makes my blood boil. Bernie Sanders arrested anti-war protesters including those of Code Pink--an outfit run by women and totally non-violent. He did so because they were protesting Israeli imperialism. How can anyone expect that this man would do anything against Wall St when we all know that Jews run it? That's not anti-Semitic, that's God's honest truth!

When the Middle East was being divvied up by the United Nations, the Palestinians there said that they really didn't need all that land that they were being given and that Israel should get it. Well, it wasn't enough for Israel--they wanted it all and we now have the ...

All rights reserved] In my last post, I speculated that Bernie Sanders would make a better opponent against the Trumpster than HillaryArtillery but that hinges on the Trumpster being a bona fide candidate. Something is this man's demeanor has caused me to reconsider whether Mr. Trump really is as ingenuous as his supporters make him out to be. No matter how egotistical you are, the office of President and its attainment by mortal men, does not lend itself to flippant remarks and actions. I know this because I have had may "if I ran the country" moments and none of my ideas are glib and all are enveloped in the golden rule and expressed in a serious vein. I've called Mr. Trump a Nazi xenophobe but that ultimate hitman was never seen joking about the issues he considered important--at least, not in any documentary I ever saw. Who would trust a hitman of Trump's ilk with access to a nuclear button? Now, you might say, "well, isn't this...
