An aggregate of information that makes me think about why people aren't progressive.
Why not progressive?
At times I'm frustrated by those that don't follow politics in the United States. I worry they don't vote, I worry they don't get their opinion out there. Of course, I am very progressive and very much in opposition to the right, however, I'm being inspired by a much greater goal than politics. Politics is all cyclical. It's not important in the grand scheme of things. The important part of life is what all the regular people are doing. I'm changing the focus of this blog a bit. Not because I think the Tea Party won the midterms or anything like that but because I want to elevate us above that sort of derogatory nonsense into something that is far more useful. Something to save us and save the world. Small goals, I know. But seriously something to talk about.

I heard a great line today.....
George W. Bush sold his share in the Texas Rangers 12 years ago. Does that mean we need 12 years to succeed after he ran this government for 8 years? BTW... they really haven't even succeeded yet. GO GIANTS!
I heard a great line yesterday on NPR: It was a story about the "new" conservative African American candidate (not one in particular, but as a trend of sorts...) Anyway, they were in Georgia where there is a conservative AA candidate running and had interviewed these people that were all like "look at how far Georgia has come blah, blah, blah" and then they went to a mall nearby and asked this guy what he thought and he said "I'm not voting for him, I don't agree with his values" and when the reporter asked why, he responded:
"well, he's not trying to help the people that need help, he's trying to feed the people who's already eating."
Simply brilliant.
I think that could be the slogan for the tea party-- "Dedicated to feeding people who are already eating since 2010

Them Rangers sure did not succeed. They crumbled under pressure. This doesn't bode well for the USA?
