Respecting the field is having a cheek full of seeds while I play. This is America for gosh sakes. And you better believe I’m playing in spikes. How the hell else am I supposed to punish the short stop for blocking the bag???
The word "communist" did enormous work during the Cold War.
It attached to Mosaddegh, who was a liberal nationalist.
It attached to Árbenz, who was a democratic reformer.
It attached to Allende, who won a democratic election.
It attached to Lumumba, who wanted the Congo's minerals for Congolese people.
It attached to Sankara, who planted trees and vaccinated children.
It attached to the ANC in South Africa.
It attached to the PLO.
It attached to striking labor unions.
It attached to land reform movements.
It attached to anyone who questioned whether foreign corporations should control a country's natural resources.
The word did not describe an ideology in these cases.
The word was a termination signal.
Once attached, it authorized removal.
It deactivated the normal rules.
It suspended the democracy promotion, the human rights concern, the multilateral consultation.
It bypassed every stated principle and went directly to the operational response.
Once you were "communist," you were outside the framework of people whose political rights the West was defending.
The label was applied to whoever needed to be outside that framework.
It was the most powerful administrative tool of the twentieth century.
It required no evidence.
It required only attachment.
And the people who attached it are still considered statesmen.
I hadn't truly realized what a racist jaskass RFK Jr was until the hearings this week, especially in this clip where he reflexively says "DEI" the way other MAGA jackasses say "woke" and "gay."
Not a serious person at all.
A disgrace to the Kennedy name.
Sean Hannity called himself “uniquely qualified” to lecture Pope Leo XIV on the Bible Thursday night.
Hannity called the U.S.-born pontiff a “run-of-the-mill Trump-hating Democrat that lacks moral clarity about radical Islam.”
Pope Leo XIV holds four degrees and a doctorate in canon law from the world’s most prestigious Catholic university.
Hannity is a three-time college dropout who publicly quit the Catholic Church. https://t.co/oOjBxhpOnb
