    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    As long as he triggers the far right conservatives and the religious types, I'm fine with that. I remember watching his show when Jerry Falwell was a guest.

    It’s going to take many years for republicans to rid themselves of the unbearable stench of Donald trump. I agree.

    Is it possible to both trigger religious folks and be an islamiphobe? Because he’s been called that ITT.

    I rarely watch his show but thought he was an equal opportunity offender regarding religion. But that’s based on limited watchings.

    I always felt there a strange relationship between atheist liberals and Islam. As atheists it’s not like they like Islam. But they really dislike (right wing) Christians. And the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And many right wing Christians do not like Islam. Therefore athiest liberals have a certain support of them.

    I remember that part.

    Maher has long derided organized religion. Many of his defenders point to Religulous, his 2008 feature film which examined and mocked religious beliefs. But in post-9/11 America, the noted agitator has become an advocate for the ever-popular view that while all religions need to be criticized and identified as antagonistic to liberal principles, Islam is a singular affront to liberal values, as Muslims are uniquely oppressive and extremist and violent.

    Seems to me that he hated Islam more than any other organized religions.

    Nothing is static of course in politics, but at the moment, we just lost the Presidency and Congress along with a number of people leaving the party. How are we reorganized and energized right now?

    Grand realignments of the parties as we are now going through almost never happen, I think this is the third time in the entire history of the nation. Trump was and is the most important person in this process, he was all in to wake Americans up to how we have been betrayed by power, and it worked.

    Trump is the gteatist catalyst for progressive change to come along since the Civil Rights Era .. unwittingly of course. That change is more rapid then at anytime in my life.Because trump laid the evil and downright ignorance of the American character right on the table fit all to clearly see.
