Note by Me: I agree with the majority of his words, especially on black Power development.

Professor Robert Reich notes in his blog that Obama won on substance, and Romney on style. But Obama ought to know that style does count. And if he's serious he must be more aggressive. He should have been all over Romney Budget plan which DOES give tax breaks to the rich at our expense. He should have have the rascal out to dry on account of his Bain capital swindles and the idiotic contempt for nearly have the nation--that 47%--whom Romney regards as "dependent " parasites. (The biggest parasites are in fact the 1% to whom Romney belong, and whom he represents). Barack Obama's cool academic style--"no drama Obama"---is fine in the lecture halls of academia. But not in politics. But we progressives have been trying to convince him to take a more aggressive approach to the reactionaries anyway. If he'd listened to us all along he'd have politically crushed the fascistic Republicans.

It went very well. Good question and answer session after my presentation. More questions about the political than philosophical dimensions of King's legacy. But that's not surprising. Sold some copies also. I think the appeal is clear. And I think that many people are ready for a new wave of revolutionary activity. King almost brought off an Occupy DC back in 1968. And our current activities are just the beginning.

I tried to tell Assdurratin, a fundamentalist Muslim, that there were "secular " ("laique " en Francais) within the Muslim community, but he insisted that only theocratic Muslims practive the "real" Islam. Anti-Muslims hold to that point of view also. But then such people cannot explain why MOST Maliens (majority Muslim) are AGAINST jihadist thugs who ravage their country. Why did Libyans--mostly Muslim--chase the Al Qaeda scum out of Benghazi? The majority of democratic reformers opposing the theocratic fascists in Tehran are also Muslims (though Iran has a sizeable non-religious minority). And I even have a few AA kinfolk who are Muslims--ALL of whom thinking jihadists are lunatics. I keep trying to tell people that Muslims, and indeed Islam itself, is not a monolithic entity---even if jihadists insist that it must be

Savant's words to an Obama hater:
Have you considered seeking professional help before you're involuntarily
confined to psychiatric ward.
My issue wit Obama is that he isn't even a fighting liberal, but a centrist with little stomach to combat the fascist reactionaries whom you love so much.
Damn, he should have at least insisted on a PUBLIC OPTION in the health care package. We need universal single payer health care. But the public option would have been better than what we got.
But alas, even Obama's watered down health care program is better than NOTHING, which is what we had before.
A massive popular, democratic movement will be needed--larger than in the 1930s or 1960s--if we want real progressive change,
Now go back to kissing white racist derriere, you freak.
