Bordonaro steps down as local Republican chair

I hate hate. I talk about others driven by hate, by lack of tolerance for the poor, the needy, the disenfranchised, Those who build their political and economic fortunes on the backs of the less fortunate always get my attention. It seems there is an attempt to turn the table on me, no deal.

We’ve all seen and heard the ads from the right, they all scream for reduced government intrusions into our pocketbooks, less regulation, less waste. All of us would agree with the last item, the first two mean fewer services for the poor and more power for the corporations at our expense. It always means that. More jobs? Unhealthy, dangerous and underpaid jobs!

What we need is a more active populace, and government, working together for a safer, healthier and happier country FOR ALL-not just the fat cats. Like I posted in another arena the corporations and hired hacks (lobbyists, neo con politicians) and their dupes (the ignorant masses who keep voting against their own best interests because they are herded around by false advertising) are killing our society.

Let’s look at the oil spill, the mine disaster and so on. Lack of effective regulation and enforcement and greedy corporations who bribe officials to look the other way brought these on. Many died, many more will, not to mentions the entirely innocent animals and health of the ocean. In our greed for more power at all costs we have help stimulate the stampede to wrest from the planet more and more resources, often without any concern for the short and long term effects.

Of course this sad saga crosses the party line many times, but it is obvious that the party platforms of the right are way more egregious in gleefully urging more gluttony, more slack for the corporations, less regulation.

Just imagine if a person close to you died in a mine cave in because of lax adherence to safety issues. Imagine if a species becomes extinct because of clear cutting a forest for more land to graze cattle for hamburgers so you and your children can get fat and get diabetes. Imagine if the air and water become so polluted they must be rationed, and your children will have lives of want and fear. Imagine climate change altering everything we ever imagined life would be, with millions of refugees clamoring for dry land, weather changing everywhere driving species to extinction and us near mad (snow in Hawaii, blistering heat in Alaska all year long, tornadoes in LA etc).

I am the one preaching tolerance, that is the point. The ones I castigate are lacking in that regard. Evil forces are at work, they must be challenged.
