(173 posts)I believe in the New Deal, the Fair Deal and the Square Deal
I believe in Social Justice
I believe in Liberation Theology
And I believe in four of the ten commandments.....which four depends on the situation.
I have grown more progressive as I got older, now pushing 76, which I believe is due to the following factors:
1. The dumbing down of America
2. The attack on Science
3. The Climate Change Challenge
4. Citizens United
5. Racism in the name of Christianilty
6. Extremism on the right
7. Loony Tunes republicans
8. The growing Wealth gap
9. Wall Street and Big Banks
10. and so many more challenges too numerous to mention..
All of which will be the destructive forces that my grandsons will soon face.
It is time for a French style revolution...and an Enlightenment era.
