Techno-liberals are a weak link in democratic institutions. Apple, Facebook, Google, Exxon, Citi, Fox; these are the virtual nation-states of our new world.
They are more influential because they are more permanent than ANY government in history and their power can increase indefinitely without checks or balances. They have more influence over politics and the world than any citizen or any nation.
They shape policy, budgets, taxes, laws, and more. They are totally out-of-control and our national and international laws have no checks and balances against their global domination.
Our political leaders seek their approval and their influence and see these powerful nation states as their true constituents. Their agenda is the real threat to freedom and democracy worldwide.

China is American business' greatest global partner and our manufacturing "heartland." We don't just enable China, we enrich and empower it. Our economic way of life today depends on cruel oppressive regimes to enable "efficient manufacturing" and maximum Wall Street profits 2/5

This article should be available by free syndication as the cover of every single newspaper in the United States. It represents a simple truth: consensus is possible, even among adversaries, when it comes to the fundamentals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We can come together as Americans. We will rise again together from all sides of blue and red. The world is falling apart without our leadership. We need to lead the world again, not just with military might. as we did in the previous century, but with wisdom.
The challenges of the new century require wisdom more than they require might.

The greatest contribution of the Trump Administration has been to reveal the utter futility of our laws and our legal system in the face of anyone with any power.

Yet here a federal court says Congress doesn’t have subpoena power. businessinsider.com/appeals-court-…

Just when you think it can’t get any lower, someone hands you a shovel. It does not matter who you are, or what you call yourself, or what box you check when you cast your vote on election day; you do not get to question the patriotism of a purple heart. cnn.com/2020/07/07/med…
They don't just hand those out; you earn them wearing the uniform of the military and then shedding your blood in combat while doing so.
That any talking head who never put on the uniform, gets to now define what patriotism is from inside a broadcast studio, is a new low at a time when the bar seems to be set lower by the hour.

From article: "As president from 1869 to 1877, Grant pushed through Congress legislation cracking down on the Ku Klux Klan. He also called on the army to help federal officials 'arrest and break up bands of disguised night marauders'"

Yes @gregolear - by denying black history in its gruesome detail, we deny ourselves our own amazing history. Thus, the history of the United States becomes a history of denial.
But we have no choice. To go back and explain the reality of our history as intertwined with African and Native American history is to question the nature and quality of white American rule over this land.
Why else would the African American Presidency of a man named Hussein elicit such an overreaction as a man named Trump? Ta-Nehisi Coats spells it out theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
