Evangelicals writ large have contaminated and corrupted Christian faith; at least insofar as many have come to understand and embrace the Faith. Hatred and intolerance form the core values of evangelicals. They are self-righteous ideologues who believe that they and only they hold any true faith. Yet, they are among the least faithful and the […]
Dear Ms. Parker: In your column in yesterday’s Sunday Washington Post, your next to last paragraph reads, “Politicians don’t change or fix things until their constituents demand it . . .” That is a huge part of our national problem. Politicians, who are by their nature parasitic non-leaders, fail to be proactive. Even when constituents […]
We have devolved into a society of lies and deception, with the despotic king of lies and deception residing in the White House. The United States of America is being splintered into multiple parts as never before, with vile, vulgar and vibrant misinformation taking control of the narrative. We are witnessing the rise of consummate […]
It has been recorded that upon adjournment of the Continental Congress, Benjamin Franklin was asked what had been created. Franklin responded, “A Republic, if you can keep her.” It has become increasingly clear during this last year of Trump that our Republic is under siege. The very tenets that have been the underpinnings of the […]
The three branches of government were created by our Founders for the purpose of separating the powers. The Republican Party has abdicated its duty and responsibility to fulfill their requirements as the Legislative Branch by blurring the lines between the Legislative and Executive Branches; falling on their collective, tribal sword for Donald J. Trump, the […]
Dear Joe Scarborough, It would be somewhat reassuring if Republicans in Congress read your piece in this last Sunday’s Washington Post (January 28th, 2018), Sadly, I doubt if any will bother. Congressional Republicans are so giddy with their newly found power their jubilation has transformed them into treacherous, hubris-filled beasts. The line between the Legislative […]
Democrats are weak and weak-kneed. Pelosi is a lost cause and should be pushed to the back rows of the Party. I will give Schumer some license, but he is the man who insisted early-on that he could “negotiate” with Trump. Well, we see how that’s worked out. Politics is pugilism at both its best […]
Our Republic is in its worst state perhaps in all her history. The Trump White House is aggressively trying to undermine the FBI and the Department of Justice. Trump believes he should CONTROL both, thereby eliminating the arms’ length and objective relationship necessary. It is obvious Trump and his congressional Republicans are taking pages out […]
Dear Ms. Parker, I share your angst over Taylor Weyeneth, the 24 year-old new “drug czar”. Wow. The photos of Weyeneth indicate he is little more than a partying frat boy. His “academic” achievements are as shady and questionable as those of Donald J. Trump. Of course, Trump fawns over and relishes those who are […]
Trump represents nearly everything decent, dignified and reasoned human despises. He is repulsive, repugnant; reprehensible. He is vulgar and vile, his recent s**t hole comment just one example. As a person, Trump is hollow, fallow and shallow. Those who follow and support him must be lacking something in their pathetic lives that allows them to […]
