HAPPY BIRTHDAY K-THUG!
Paul Krugman is 60 today.
“Modern conservatism is actually a deeply radical movement, one that is hostile to the kind of society we’ve had for the past three generations—that is, a society that, acting through the government, tries to mitigate some of the ‘common hazards of life’ through such programs as Social Security, unemployment insurance, Medicare and Medicaid.
I believe in a relatively equal society, supported by institutions that limit extremes of wealth and poverty. I believe in democracy, civil liberties, and the rule of law. That makes me a liberal, and I’m proud of it.”
That’s why Paul Krugman is a liberal and that’s why I am too.

That’s why many of the White people are nostalgic for the good ole’ days Slavery, Feudalism, the Black Death, etc, when the Poor, the Women Folk and the oddly-Hued people.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. If you look at history the plight of mankind has only improved during times of Liberal thinking.

I am one of that rare species a white progressive liberal born and raised in the South. As the rest of the South becomes more Tea Bagger wanting to go back to the 1880/90s I become more liberal. Some of the shit going on in North Carolina and the rest of the South makes this old man just shake his head. A felony for a woman to show her nipple in public? For fucks sake! And they want to add buttocks to that. The cops on the North Carolina beaches will go snake shit arresting women.
