What's to like?

For the last 50 years the Republicans have ransacked this country to help rich and hurt so many people along the way!

You need to read some history of the Republican party going back to Harding , Coolidge and Hoover and see what ass holes they were then, and the Republican party was back then. And they have continued to hurt this country non stop for 100 years.

The Republicans fought FDR's New Deal constantly.

Then follow the Republican party up to the present day.

They gave us Joe McCarthy and the House of Unamerican activities. Nixon and his criminality, Reagan and his criminality and then Bush who dragged us through the mud for eight years culminating in practically brining down the world financial institutions by allowing so much fraud in the banking industry!

They have been an ill wind that blows no good.

Take a hard look at what kind of justices they nominated to the supreme court over the last 50 years. Terrible people.

Take a look at what bills they have passed and all the wars they have started and all the people who have died or been injured or lost their homes because of them!

Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan has killed hundreds of thousand and displaced millions and cost trillions we could have used for education, and health and welfare for our people.

And they took trillions more for the richest of the rich in constant tax cuts for them. Money we needed to help people like the homeless and students.

Even though LBJ started the Viet Nam war, it was the right wing Republicans that defended it. And it was the Republicans that kept it going, and also gave obscene tax cuts to the rich and ripping the social safety nets that protect the poor and vulnerable.

And over the last four years Trump has made enemies of our friends and friends of our enemies and put us in great danger.

And when he was impeached for working with a foreign government to undermine our elections, every Republican in the senate save one voted to find him innocent and was complicit in his traitorous behavior!

And on and on and on! There have been very few things the Republicans have done over the last 50 years worth celebrating.

When you can find nothing you like in the last 100 years, the problem is you, not them.

<<this tribalism worries me>> or a koan by Graystone This koan demonstrates a lack of illumination that is profound. It shows how a great wind carries little of value but much refuse and litter. It paints an image of an uncontrolled tongue just flapping away in that wind. A little tiny spot of light that could easily could be missed if it wasn't so dark. As a rule any koan can be further illuminated by a few lines that hint at it's shape. In and of themselves koans have no power, they are ordinary statements. They only achieve potency when they can be seen against a live backdrop. This koan works because it arises from simplicity, need and confusion.
