I am not religious, but literally 15+ years ago I told my wife Democrats HAVE to find a religious Liberal who can walk the walk, actually serving the shit in red (Jesus quotes) in the bible; who knows his (or her) shit and will go into the fight. I honestly think James Talarico is potentially the most important politician this nation has seen at least since FDR, maybe longer.

It will be voices LIKE HIS that will actually prevent theocracy as strange as that is to say. Give him JT.

the rethuglicans will cry!

And not paying taxes, gouging the lower classes on price increases, and not paying employees a living wage is "just good business sense," right?

I can only speak for myself. But “Myself” says (or rather screams) “ENOUGH ALREADY, Dammit!!!”

More please. Morality in politics. A novel idea? Who’d thought this would resonate.

In my American utopia- no energy needed expending and arguing for decency in government. Must focusing on paramount issues always take the backseat to convincing the morally challenged that both instincts are correct.
