Time can take a toll on rationality, but it also can transform the political terrain. On occasion I’ve kept track of unfair comparisons of “47" to the former corporal/unsuccessful postcard artist who was der fuehrer of the 12 ½ year reich (“18"). [FN1] New similarities alleged: 1/9

RECLUSE FROM BAD P.R.

One more time: we were founded as “the first wholly secular state.” [FN3] You can’t find “god” or Jesus is in the Constitution. The far right has moved the ball down field, in part, via leaders, even progressives, of other…
