It's Not Just The Small-potatoes Post-9/11 Homeland

I Feel Like I Have More In Common With Conservative People Who Have Activist Causes In Their Hearts And Who Are Interested In Electoral Politics Than I Do With Somebody Who Doesn't Care, Doesn't Have Any Political Interests, Doesn't Know What Policy Is, And Doesn't Think Any Of It Matters To Them. If You Care, We're Actually Going To Have A Basis Of Conversation. We Might Supplementally Get Along Very Well, And That Might Be Complicated And Fun In A Way That Is More Constructive Than You'd Expect.

Cnn Recently Ran A Sort Of Roundup Article On Why Some Conservatives Say That Trump Talk Is Fascist. The Roundup Included This Tweet From Iowa Republican Radio Host, Very Influential Guy In Iowa Republican Caucuses, Steve Deace. Quote, "if [barack] Obama Proposed The Same Religion Registry As Trump, Every Conservative In The Country Would Call It What It Is - Creeping Fascism."

With The Republican Party`s Presidential Front-runner Proposing That All Muslims Should Be Banned From Entering The United States, That Perhaps There Ought To Be A National Registry Of Muslims, That We Ought To Looking Into Muslims Having To Carry Government Id Cards That State Their Religion, Now, The Word Fascist Is Being Used To Describe This Ascending And Leading Republican Politician.

There Are Some Political Issues Where Mainstream Press Attention Only Hurts. We Think About Activism As Being This Generic Model Of Consciousness-raising, Then Hopefully Media Attention, Attraction Of New People To Your Cause, Building Public Support For Your Cause, Then Decision-makers Reacting To That Change In Public Opinion. That's True For Some Types Of Activism, But It Is Not True For All Of Them.

I'm Not A Screamer. I'm Confrontational, But I Don't Think That Translates Into Anger.
