[Peace-discuss] Rand Paul & Rachel Maddow

[Ricky Baldwin]

It's true that I think we need to learn to work together where and when we can, within reason.  (I'm not working with the Klan on jack.)

Back in the 90s I tried to get Mississippi NOW and Mississippi Right to Life to work together to oppose some extremely draconian cuts to welfare that would hit children and mothers very hard.  It didn't fly.  We eventually beat off the worst "reforms" but maybe we could have done more together, who knows?

On the other hand, I do hate to see the Conservatives and Lib-Dems in England working together, and the US Dems and POP cooperating so cozily on a few items...

Jeffrey St. Clair of Counterpunch writes - correctly, it seems to me -

"Maddow and Paul agree on probably 90% of the BIG issues confronting
us, from ending the drug and Afghan war, to ending bail outs & aid to
Israel. But because of their own peculiar prejudices, his doctrinaire
libertarian, hers PC progressive, neither of them can talk about
anything other than a non-issue such as the Civil Rights Act of 19 --
SIXTY-FOUR.  It's like a Dadaist play."
