Summary
Former Massachusetts governor, Deval Patrick, has entered the presidential race. After serving as governor, Patrick went to work for Bain Capital -- yes, that Bain Capital. I like Patrick on a personal level -- but politically speaking, Patrick represents the last generation of Democrats who bought into the notion that whatever was good for business was good for America. Not only is this untrue, but this thinking is exactly what this generation (not based on age, but based on everyone of any age who are adopting this new move to the left) -- this is exactly what we're fighting against.

Some suggest Democrats need to move further to the Right on cultural issues as a strategy to beat Republicans. How, Sway? HOW? This is what Democrats have been doing for nearly 40 years and it also is why Republicans have had to become even more rabidly intransigent and bigoted.

A high school in Minnesota was caught on camera throwing away hot meals of students who owed more than $15 in lunch debt. This is another thing that capitalism has wrought. When we could have a society that feeds all of our children for free, we've decided to NOT tax the rich so little that they won't even have to give up their yachts, all so that they never have to contribute to the society from which they've taken so much.
