I am hearing things I do not want to hear. I am hearing that they are pushing MSNBC away from its progressive format. They are I have heard but do not know if it is true that Chris Hayes may be given the door. I HOPE this is not true. I ask you to write MSNBC or call MSNBC (phone number is easily available if you Google it) and show him and MSNBC support as they broadcast now.
I have heard too that Joy Reid whom I love is going to do other formats and that Al Sharpton's job is in the crosshairs. DO NOT LET THE CORPORATISTS do what we all feared they would when Olbermann left and Comcast bought MSNBC out. If you let them they will decimate the ONLY major cable network that speaks for the 98%. Their reporting and progressive commentary is spot on correct and excellent.
If you think the Tea Party has been duped and hoodwinked by this corporatist agenda you are right. They have and they do not even realize it. The Republican Party is NOT about most of them. It must appeal to the lesser angels of their human nature. It is racist, mendacious and inhumane. Our nation is being taken over by them. DO NOT LET IT. IT IS WHY YOU MUST VOTE BEFORE you will not have a nation for which to vote!

The Roots of Terrorism -- A Response to Stephen Kinzer editorial
The
February 15 Globe article by Stephen Kinzer entitled "A root of
terrorism grew from Europe's colonization" was spot on correct. My
letter to the Globe was printed in today's edition. It is as follows.
As western head-scratching occurs trying to figure out why so many Muslims are so angry and so violent to us, it seems impossible for the west to admit that history counts. The legacy of colonialism and its brutality, while, perhaps, not felt at first, did rear its ugly head later. It is pitiful that the media rarely makes mention of it. The gargantuan mistake of the Iraq War based on lies is simply another example of western historical amnesia. The US illegally invaded a foreign nation, Iraq, that did nothing to deserve it. Colonialism and it have had disastrous consequences as American go shopping or watch the Superbowl and almost instantaneously forget the consequences of that history.
Human beings resent conquerors and they resent being slaughtered especially when they are guilty of nothing except having the world's most voluminous supply of oil and the west's insatiable appetite for it. You want to know why the ugly barbarism of ISIS exists I suggest you remember Shakespeare's immortal lines: "The fault dear Brutus is not in our stars but in ourselves."

Remember -- short narration by Meryl Streep
Always remember, never forget and apply it to all people for all time!
"And
ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest
in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up." Deuteronomy 11:19

Think on what will happen if in 2016 the Republicans occupy a majority in the House, in the Senate and the presidency. Everything you know that makes human life better in this country for the middle class can be eradicated in a heartbeat minute. The vote is the ONLY thing we have between us and true tyranny against blacks, against women, against Hispanics, against the poor, against the middle class, against unions and against all things that act as safety nets for those of us who are not billionaires. Think on it and then do what you must -- VOTE Democrat!
