Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
From September 1, 1939 by W. H. Auden
All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.
Defenseless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

Effin eh from Vancouver Canada.
I am SO down with that!!!!!
One of the magnificent things about MY President, DJT, is that he has exposed and continues to expose the so-called Progressives as the very worst POS to ever exist in a free nation. And he enjoys doing it.
His posts are offensive to the Left but he’s usually spot on, their behavior over exposes their mental illness and its rash marxist desires and he’s got a great sense of humor….does not give a flip about how butt hurt the Leftist trash becomes.
I still can’t bring myself to be a Trump *fan* exactly. But I’m impressed with the way he’s dealt with all the bullshit that’s been heaped his way since … sometime back in 2015.
And even if I weren’t, the democrats and their constant ranting – and especially the 2020 candidates with their incessant totalitarian “plans” to Make America More Like California – are the best advertisements for Four More Years he could hope for.
