A Return to Barbary Lane?

Posted on June 23, 2016 by Richard Miller

At the Monday, June 20, opening party for Dog Eared Books’ new store in the Castro, after Armistead Maupin read something from “Logical Family,” his forthcoming memoir, Frank Biafore asked about Laura Linney’s recent revelation that there have been talks of an updated “Tales of the City.” Maupin confirmed that some talks are in progress, and then said, “How great would it be if people found out Mary Ann Singleton and Anna Madrigal were soon headed back to 28 Barbary Lane, and they found out from gossip heard in the Castro bookstore?”

Something to think about. John Lewis DID endorse Clinton Narco-Trafficking -- and DENIED ever meeting Bernie Sanders -- when there's TONS of proof that they met many times!!!

We're talking John Lewis of, "I never saw Bernie march for civil rights" fame.

COME ON! Think.

This is to rack up failing DNC donations, grandstand and get in the spotlight, DISTRACT us from voter suppression and election rigging. This bill DOES NOTHING, is meaningless. Think... via Jeff McKissack: "MLK Jr. was a gun owner "and" on a government watch list. Take care regarding the measures you seek under "favorable conditions" today lest you appear under "less favorable conditions" on similar lists tomorrow .

I'm all for regulations and enhanced safety technology applied to firearms, but am FAR less supportive when I hear the word "lists". Who determines "who" lands on such lists and "what" was the criteria for doing so? Again, MLK Jr. as an example."

Here's what the French are saying about us. It's not an isolated opinion.

"Bernie Sanders, by aggressively fighting for progressive causes, has pushed liberal hypocrisy out into the open."

Liberal Elites Hate the Left

In 2013, President Obama, speaking at a fundraiser in Medina, Washington — home to a small community of wealthy donors — expressed a sentiment that has become all too common among Democratic Party liberals.

Steve Lerman I too oppose ideology and support pragmatism and politics with principles. However I have significantly different viewpoints than Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama. Since WWII, the U.S. has become a world empire. Since the President is the head of the U.S. empire, he or she must make decisions that sacrifice the typical American interests for the interests of the empire.

In other words, the disconnect between most Americans and their national government is structural not ideological or based on class analysis.

Steve Lerman For example as a nation, the U.S. doesn't get any benefits from its level of military involvement in the greater Middle East. As an empire, the U.S. might be able to expand its influence from its military involvement there. How's that?
