RINO....

DON'T READ MY LITTLE BLOG TODAY.....GO TO FACEBOOK AND FIND HEATHER COX RICHARDSON'S PAGE AND READ HER ENTRY. IT'S IN BLACK AND WHITE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON AND AROUND OUR COUNTRY TODAY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF AN AMERICAN HISTORY SCHOLAR.

PROFESSOR OF AMERICAN HISTORY AT BOSTON COLLEGE....EIGHT BOOKS ON AMERICAN HISTORY, AN ALMOST DAILY ENTRY IN WHAT IS CALLED "LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN".....TWO WEEKLY VIDEO "CLASSES"....TUESDAY'S ANALYZING EVENTS IN OUR CURRENT POLITICAL WORLD EVALUATED AND EXPLAINED FROM AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE....THURSDAY'S A HISTORY CLASS WHERE I'VE LEARNED MORE ABOUT AMERICAN HISTORY THAN I EVER DID IN HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE.

HEATHER HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF USA TODAY'S WOMEN OF THE YEAR FOR 2022. IN A RECENT ARTICLE BY SUZETTE HACKNEY HEATHER IS QUOTED:

"My theory is you can't make good choices about your life unless you understand the facts of your life," she said. "I'm a firm believer in democracy and on the incredible importance of a lot of different perspectives on different issues. But unless people are operating from the same basis of fact, they can't make good decisions about their lives or about their country. If you can't figure out what's up and what's down, your only answer is to shrink and to hope that somebody makes good decisions for you. And that's a real burden to carry." 

I DON'T KNOW HOW I DISCOVERED HER BUT I AM SO GLAD I DID....BUT TODAY'S LETTER WAS A BARN BURNER AND MAKES ME WANT TO WEEP/SCREAM/MARCH/VOTE!

IF YOU DON'T DO FACEBOOK YOU PROBABLY WON'T EVEN SEE MY RANT FOR TODAY....BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS GOOGLE HER "LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN".

PLEASE!

"This is no longer your mother’s Republican Party, or your grandfather’s…or his grandfather’s.

Today’s Republican Party is not about equal rights and opportunity, as Lincoln’s party was. It is not about using the government to protect ordinary people, as Theodore Roosevelt’s party was. It is not even about advancing the ability of businesses to do as they deem best, as Ronald Reagan’s party was.
The modern Republican Party is about using the power of the government to enforce the beliefs of a radical minority on the majority of Americans."
