Thanks to you and Blue Gal for getting me and who knows how many others through the emotional knothole of the past (how many has it been?) multiple years.

I'm re...Hello driftie, long time admirer here. I'm reading Cicero's Disputations. His philosophy leads me to state that the republican mind is basically insane.<br /><br />He says that opposite of honor (integrity: an ordered mind) are fear, hatred, envy, selfishness, and other vices. So opposite wisdom (honor) are anger, bigotry, misogyny, xenophobia, lying, greed: a disordered mind and hallmarks of republicanism, talk radio, and many religions (anger and envy manifest as liberty for them, but not for those who want things other than what they find moral.)<br /><br />Likewise the NRA: fear, paranoia, hatred, lying: liberty for white gun owners but not for those of color.<br /><br />On insanity he sounds like he knows Don the Con: rash, impulsive, gaudy, selfish, compulsive liar, etc. etc,<br /><br />I have lots more thoughts. Email me at tomshefchik@gmail.com if you would like to hear more. Hippies are empathetic, love the world and world travel, kumbaya, etc. Republicans are not honorable (they are are "not themselves", they are "out of their minds".)Tom Shefchikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144475224910518968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-63106160261975526082017-03-08T07:20:06.342-06:002017-03-08T07:20:06.342-06:00Unfortunately, after we fix their crap, they'l...Unfortunately, after we fix their crap, they'll come running back to fuck up the next thing.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13673513204372594964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-52162346224518905052017-03-07T22:24:25.386-06:002017-03-07T22:24:25.386-06:00@stratocruiser: compare and contrast Kashistan.@stratocruiser: compare and contrast <a href="http://www.thepaincomics.com/weekly011010a.htm" rel="nofollow">Kashistan</a>.Neo Tuxedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455041641080873400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-49740120783234251412017-03-07T20:19:22.742-06:002017-03-07T20:19:22.742-06:00Newscasters used to talk about the tribal regions ...Newscasters used to talk about the tribal regions of Afghanistan, where tribe was more important than country.
