Haha! No, of course you're right. But I'd like to believe that somewhere between our "anti-racist" Democratic socialists and racist GOP cultural fascists is a level-headed middle consisting of those who think that marriage equality, book learning, and Medicare are good things -- but also that we need to enforce laws and fill our jails again, reopen places like Creedmore, make people pay off their college loans, and bite the bullet and make corporations bring back manufacturing to our shores.
Imagine, we make only five percent of our aluminum. And almost nothing of our various other needs. Maybe if there were jobs for those whose skills tended to the more physical than cerebral, there'd be fewer extremists -- on both sides.
Maybe here in our cities we'd be able to agree that the minute a deranged Black man throws a punch that breaks an elderly woman's eye socket, he is to blame and not the rest of us, and belongs in jail as the vicious menace he is. As an older, lifelong Brooklynite, I'm incensed by the myriad of excuses people invent to defend such creatures.
Finally, it's time to admit that Senator Moynihan was right: Providing welfare to single mothers, usually undereducated and often uneducable, and making it economically foolish to marry and have a job, has been a disaster for the Black community on par with Jim Crow. And perhaps worse. It has spawned generations of crime, and now protests noted for their violence and sustained disruptions of our city life as well as the attempt to brainwash everyone into an "anti-racist" ideology -- which now includes agitated, non-introspective Muslims. And doing a darned good job of it.
Like pornography, to echo the learned judge, I know them when I see them.
Folks who shoot ob/gyns who terminate pregnancies? Who poison dogs belonging to the lesbian couple who just moved in down the road? Who as a matter of course hate Black people and Jews? And whose votes put into office those like them?
How about guys who laugh uproariously when Donald Trump limps on a stage in mockery of a cripple?
Almost exclusively Republicans. But not Republicans like my family.
We KNOW who the far left is and are, but please explain who the "far right" are, and how they are influencing us. Certainly the media is with the far left and they exercise an overwhelming influence Who, or WHAT, on the far right has an equal power to influence?

Please define: "racist GOP cultural fascists ".

Unfortunately in the current climate those of us the in the middle are being drowned out by both the far left and far right :(
