Dear Mr. Dixon,
Tulsi strikes again
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Mon, 04/10/2017 - 7:38amBernie, still gotta love him, started a movement going, even though he has chickened out in pursuing it, which has encouraged rising stars such as Tulsi Gabbard, Nina Turner, Tim Canova and revitalized people like Alan Grayson and Jeff Merkley. My favorite, bar none, the real deal, the real straight shooter, the one with guts, is Tulsi Gabbard.
The Empire Strikes Back… and it's a foul ball!

The 'Peace Movement' still alive and well. Maybe it's you that's missing?
Submitted by divineorder on Sun, 04/09/2017 - 11:52pmLove this place. Truth reigns. For the most part, anyway.
