We just elected a man to the highest office of the land...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

-Matthew 7:2

We just elected a man to the highest office of the land who doesn't believe in the rule of law, due process, the sanctity of the ballot box, a free press, freedom of religion, and habeas corpus.

Maybe some of us need to get off our high moral horses.

The main difference between Fidel and Donald beside one was a dictator and one is aspiring to be one is that Donald destroyed or is trying to destroy a liberal democracy, Fidel overthrew an authoritarian dictatorship.

The only thing that separates Donald from Fidel is the Constitution. Let's pray it holds.

5. I think it's important for critical

thinking that a reader read widely across the spectrum of ideas.

I've found one of the most effective tools to use against rightwing Christian fundamentalism is the New Testament. A lot of the fundies allow their local pastor to do the heavy lifting on Biblical quotes and simply accept whatever they're told. A large number of fundies have not read the Bible for themselves.

Knowing the text better than they do puts them on their heels in a hurry.

A writer does not have to follow a particular religion or faith tradition to have read its source documents or to be adept in quoting it to advance an idea.
