View on Facebook · Share Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linked In Share by Email June 24, 2022 ALITO’S SUPREME AFFRONT OF 9TH AMENDMENT KILLS ‘ROE’ Today the Supreme Court deserted 49 years of precedent in striking down Roe v. Wade, paving the way for states to ban abortion. In Justice Alito’s majority opinion, he states because the Constitution does not mention abortion, there is no constitutional right to abortion. It’s remarkable to me a sitting Supreme Court justice in 2022 would make such an argument given the long history of such foolish arguments, but this is how religion and righteousness can cloud one’s judgement. ∼ Continue Reading ∼ • • • October 9, 2020 WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH TRUMP FOLLOWERS? Five years ago when Donald Trump rode that escalator and announced his candidacy, everyone including most people who are now Trump-for-lifers, believed it was a stunt, and he was clearly unqualified. In the subsequent year-and-a-half of the campaign, one-by-one candidates dropped until one candidate remained, The Donald. Along the way, he gained a loyal following, and in the final months of the 2016 election, even many Republicans who previously mocked him were now onboard, even some people who proclaimed themselves to be “Never Trumpers.” ∼ Continue Reading ∼ • • • March 24, 2017 CONSTITUTIONAL ORIGINALISM’S CONCEITED INTENT It is an audacious pursuit to divine an assertive original context from a text written by men who themselves did not agree. Such is the conceit of constitutional originalism and it’s disciples. Even a modest history lesson divulges the disagreements among the founders — whether a Bill of Rights should exist, or even if there ought to be a constitution at all. ∼ Continue Reading ∼ • • • March 23, 2017 CAN WE BLAME THE INTERNET FOR POLITICAL POLARIZATION? It seems logical to blame the internet for our growing political polarization. Some blame “fake news” shared on Twitter and Facebook for the outcome of the 2016 election. And we know tens of millions of Americans get their news from social media. ∼ Continue Reading ∼ • • • March 21, 2017 CARTOON: BABY DONALD’S BUDGET PRIORITIES ∼ Continue Reading ∼ • • • March 16, 2017 RUSSIAN ELECTION-HACKING BINGO, CONSPIRACIES FOR LIBERALS With giddy pride, liberals have deservedly vilified an expansive sea of right-wing conspiracy theories. But it now appears those seditious chickens have come home to a roost of left-wing treachery. Modern liberalism has become a hospitable nesting place for paranoia in the months since President Donald Trump’s election. With vociferous oratory growing in the weeks after his inauguration, left-wing talk show hosts and liberal pundits have stoked the base to a level of conspiratorial thinking previously thought reserved for conservative talk radio. ∼ Continue Reading ∼ • • • March 13, 2017 PAUL RYAN’S PRIORITY. HINT: IT’S NOT AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE This past Sunday on Face The Nation, host John Dickerson asked Speaker Paul Ryan how many people will lose health care coverage under Ryan’s “American Health Care Act.” Ryan’s answer informs us to his priority. ∼ Continue Reading ∼ • • • March 11, 2017 DON’T FORCE ‘SANCTUARY CITIES’ TO DO FED’S JOB Conservative commentators characterize sanctuary cities as legal apostates, but the principles in practice in sanctuary cities share little with that description. It’s the latest example of the Right’s inability to parse the weeds of reality, seeking to find comforting answers attuned to black and white and good vs. evil. ∼ Continue Reading ∼ • • • March 10, 2017 WITH ‘FATAL CONCEIT,’ SPEAKER PAUL RYAN FAILS INSURANCE 101 It appears Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) is deeply disturbed that insurance premiums paid by healthy people help offset the insurance costs of people who are sick. But that is exactly how health insurance works. In fact, it’s how all insurance works. It’s called spreading the risk. In any insurance pot, there is a minority segment who are higher risk, and these higher risk individuals rightfully pay higher premiums. But in addition to those high-risk premiums, the low-risk majority chips-in to cover the greater cost outlay to insure the high-risk minority. ∼ Continue Reading ∼ • • • March 8, 2017 REPUBLICANS CANNOT ‘SOLVE’ HEALTH CARE IN GOOD FAITH Fiscal conservatism defines nearly all Republicans, even if decades of failed economic promises say otherwise, but the modern Republican Party is also a collective of combative factions. There are extreme social conservatives who often vote based on social wedge issues like abortion. There are moderate social conservatives who tend to go along with many social conservative positions, but who are primarily fiscal hawks. And there are extreme fiscal hawks who lean libertarian, and in many cases reject some of the more offensive tenets of social conservatism. ∼ Continue Reading ∼ • • • 1 2 3 … 164 Next → Search for: Offering an essential perspective on far-reaching social, economic, and political issues, The Left Call seeks to awaken the American Left, with a growing audience reaching thousands every month.
