Large groups of desperate people should be seen as a national security risk, because desperate people do desperate things. They are more vulnerable to ideological capture by genuinely psychotic forces. http://carrollspaper.com/Content/Default/Homepage-Rotating-Articles/Article/-Turn-love-into-a-political-force-/-3/449/27134?platform=hootsuite …
The American Revolution is an ongoing process. Every generation has to decide between aristocracy and democracy. Now it’s our turn... http://marianne2020.com
I’m on @breakfastclubam tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
The only way we will have economic vibrancy in the future is if we take better care of our children today. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuoqUz_AmmG/?utm_source=ig_twitter_share&igshid=1e7fkdgmtyocy …
Many in America either support Israel while minimizing the human rights concerns of Palestinians, or support Palestinians while minimizing legitimate security concerns of Israel. We need a President who deeply appreciates the importance of both. Not either/or, but both/and.
We can question the behavior of Israel without joining forces with those who would destroy it. That is the balance most needed now: to take on the conversation in a way that honors both human rights of Palestinians as well as legitimate security concerns of Israel. Both matter.
External changes on the level of the issues is important, but it’s not enough; we also need spiritual changes on the level of the heart. One doesn’t preclude the other. Here is the Issues section from my site:
Having perpetrated the wars In Vietnam & Iraq, both of which were catastrophic military misadventures, the US in the 21st-century should be the greatest purveyor of peace. Right now we do more to prepare for war than to wage peace; this will change or more catastrophe lies ahead.
Americans are awakening to the need for our nation to take a deep moral inventory. Then we will address the injustices in our economy, the state of our children, the state of our earth, our moral debts to be paid & our responsibility to wage peace from a much more powerful place.
A better version of the same old is still the same old same old, inadequate to the task of forging a sustainable future for the 21st-century. Incremental changes will not save us from the consequences of our errors. We need a national commitment to deep moral & political repair.
3) Children are full citizens of the US, with “unalienable rights to life, liberty, & pursuit of happiness”. Millions of children living in America’s “domestic war zones” cannot pursue happiness, and we should rescue them no less than if they were victims of any other disaster.
2)If someone neglects a child it is considered unethical at best & criminal at worst. So what is a society that neglects the trauma of millions of American children? This should be seen as a humanitarian crisis, because it is. It is immoral that we are not helping these children
1) Millions of American children are trapped in schools without adequate school supplies to teach a child to read. If a child can’t read by 8, chances of high school graduation vastly decreased & chances of incarceration vastly increased. We have simply normalized their despair.
We need an integrative approach to politics just like we have an integrative approach to medicine, realizing that what we do with our minds is as important to our health as what we do to our bodies. America needs to change our hearts as much as we need to change our policies.
