Josh's diagnosis of a national dearth of progressive ideas:

The great political reality of our time is that Democrats don't know (and nobody else does either) how to get wage growth and productivity growth or economic growth lines back into sync...But you cannot make middle class wage growth and wealth inequality the center of your politics unless you have a set of policies which credibly claims some real shot at addressing the problem.

A very compelling but disturbing piece. I'll post it in the news links for discussion.

Despite your overblown self-importance, Least, you do yourself no favor.

And repeating yourself simply shows you to be inept at the very act of posting in the bargain.

Were you to speak to a dog, he would no doubt pity you for your foolishness while loathing you for your arrogance. And he'd be far too charitable in both.

I asked you a direct question.

Clearly you have no interest in responding.

Since you will no doubt complain again that I am exercising "hate speech" I will feel free to recap my summation of you from earlier as a crap-flinging provocateur.

You merely amplify it with every comment you make.

Now go cry to Papa Michael.

I suspect you are not really interested in my thoughts on

I wouldn't expect you to understand my alternative, I might as well speak to a dog and expect the same result.

The problem with Kool Aid drinkers is they think everyone else, should drink the Kool Aid that blinds.

Is it vanity or the ignorance?

Here's an interesting thought for others to consider.

“I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious on the whole, and in the long run, than monarchy or aristocracy. Democracy has never been and never can be so durable as aristocracy or monarchy; but while it lasts, it is more bloody than either. … Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty. When clear prospects are opened before vanity, pride, avarice, or ambition, for their easy gratification, it is hard for the most considerate philosophers and the most conscientious moralists to resist the temptation. Individuals have conquered themselves. Nations and large bodies of men, never.”
― John Adams, The Letters of John and Abigail Adams
