EEO's JournalI love to ask Republicans who deny racism exists about Lee Atwater and the Southern Strategy.
And am never shocked by how many have no idea what it is...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Atwater#Atwater_on_the_Southern_Strategy
Atwater: You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger."
I Have Yet To Hear A Good Reason Why Iran Would Risk Its Own Destruction By Launching Nukes
Specifically at Israel. One of the worst kept secrets is that Israel has had nukes since the 1960s. Frankly, I am more concerned about a preemptive strike being launch by Israel on Iran, because we don't have too much control over Israel as history has proven again and again. Oh, and the Israelis have known for years that no air assault can reasonable be thought to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities.
Additionally, I don't think Putin would give Iran permission for a nuclear attack on Israel, because it would require his blessings. Pretty sure he isn't ready for a nuclear war.
I am also concerned about Saudi Arabia getting nuclear missiles from Pakistan, which it helped payroll. Pakistan is in possession of missiles that can bring nuclear payloads to targets at up to 1,300 kilometers away. And Saudi Arabia will probably ask for some of those if Iran's program produces the nuclear technology. How's that for a balance in the region?
One way or another every major power in the Middle East may have nukes soon - except Iraq. How's that for irony?
REMEMBER? The Corporate Media Cheerleaders While A Sovereign Nation Under Attack, Civilians Killed
The poor and middle class going to fight for rich profiteers courtesy of a media who collaborated to make the war happen. They helped to bring the American war machine to Iraq.
Disgusting.

The Emperor Has No Clothes.
I'm concerned about another large recession.
The financial system we have is unsustainable. Its lax regulations and the Fed continuing to prop it up can only work for so long before another major downturn.
Anyone care to try to reassure me?
BLM Needs to Be Marginalized and Go Away If It Is Going to Attack Natural Allies Like Bernie...
Just Because Those Allies Don't Focus EXCLUSIVELY ON THEM.
I have been reading some very disturbing stuff on them and their leadership.
Do I believe there is an epidemic of unnecessary police violence, and that blacks are disproportionately targeted and killed because they are black? Yes. In the vast majority of cases, the officers would have acted different with white people.
But what the hell is Black Lives Matter's end game? Because I sure as hell cannot figure it out.
