Stand with the people of Iran against the murderous Islamic theocracy!

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I am not Jewish, nor gay, nor (obviously) a woman -- you don't need to be a member of a group to object to them being mistreated. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
US out of UN, UN out of US
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

Everytime I see Stupak's name I think it's an acronym of somekind - like stupid??? but that's as far as I can get. Will check out his challenger.
Maybe it's a Sovietologism for his anti-abortion bloc in the House -- the "Stupid Pack".
I'm very pleased that his amendment was removed from the health bill -- but how much better it would be if he himself were removed from the House (provided his replacement in a better Democrat and not a worse Republican).
More and more I find it practical to support candidates for office in other states, Rep. Grayson for instance, Rob Miller to defeat Joe Wilson -- it makes sense to seek out candidates who can really make a difference, whatever state they're running in. I only support locals (I'm talking financially) if they show a great deal of promise, or are involved in a very high-stakes race against truly awful opponents, otherwise, my vote will have to do.
Stupak has got to go, so I'll be heading over to Connie's donation page to do what I can.
Much could hinge on cases like this. I oppose voting against bad Democrats in general elections, since the opposing Republican will almost always be worse -- but supporting a better Democrat in the primary seems to be all upside, at least when that better Democrat has a good chance of winning in the general.
Post a Comment
Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
