Yesterday as a teacher, I asked my students to be respectful of the peaceful transition process, remember that our system is based on BOTH majority rule AND minority rights, and cautioned them to be diligent in holding the elected accountable. I plan to do the same. Today, as a citizen, I march! This anonymous post sums it up for me today and going forward:
PLEASE READ:
“I listened as they called my President a Muslim.
“I listened as they called him and his family a pack of monkeys.
“I listened as they said he wasn’t born here.
“I watched as they blocked every single path to progress that they could.
“I saw the pictures of him as Hitler.I watched them shut down the government and hurt the entire nation twice.
“I watched them turn their backs on every opportunity to open worthwhile dialog.
“I watched them say that they would not even listen to any choice for Supreme Court no matter who the nominee was.

The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans.

CALL 713-526-5738!! KPFT is in its WINTER Fund Drive. Most of the folks who work and broadcast at KPFT are volunteers, but it still fixed and variable expenses, meaning it costs $150/hour, 24/7/365 to keep KPFT on the air.
KPFT does not accept corporate sponsors. Over 90% of KPFT ‘s funding comes from individual listeners, and only about 1 listener in 16 helps to support KPFT at any given time.
Whether you can only afford to pledge a couple of bucks or $1000, we appreciate whatever you can do. If you can’t pledge support at this time, we still appreciate that you listen to KPFT .
Only 7 companies own about 30 of Houston’s 50-odd radio stations. Those 7 companies determine most of what you hear on your radio.
KPFT airs 95 different programs every week. If KPFT has a format, that format is … almost anything you can think of!
Please support Thinkwing Radio! Please help support KPFT and keep community-supported radio on the air!
Thanks, Mike Honig

Ted Cruz: What do Texas’ US Senator from Canada, Conservatives and Tila Tequila Have In Common?
Ted Cruz has dual US-Canadian citizenship.
In and of itself, this is not particularly remarkable. Many US citizens have dual citizenship. Some even go back to their home countries, run for office, and even WIN, while still retaining dual citizenship.
What makes Ted Cruz’s dual citizenship so delicious is that the birth circumstances by which he obtained US citizenship are identical to Barack Obama’s, with only three exceptions:
- Ted Cruz’s father was a citizen of Cuba, not Kenya;
- Ted Cruz was not born in any US State or Territory; and
- If you insist on seeing his valid birth certificate, it’s actually … foreign.
Ted Cruz’s Undisputed Non-US Birth Certificate
What Bill Clinton Wrote vs. What Bill Clinton Said
Bill Clinton & Barack Obama (2012-Sept-5)
One of Bill Clinton’s most (in)famous speechifying moments was in 1988, when he got his biggest cheer for the statement, “… In conclusion…”
At the Democratic National Convention, on September 5, 2012, Bill Clinton gave one of the greatest speeches of his life, and perhaps one of the best in political history.
Maybe one of the most remarkable aspects of that speech is how much of it was not in the prepared remarks.Yes, Bill Clinton may not be a great believer in Shakespeare’s quote that “Brevity is the soul of wit,” but nobody cared on that night of September 5th.
Below, I am belatedly adding my link to Atlantic Wire’s painstakingly detailed article showing where Bill Clinton departed from the prepared text, and what that text actually said.
It’s long (as befits Bill Clinton), but fascinating and incredibly impressive.
