Hence my tar and feather comment. I graduated from Crane at Tufts. Was in the last class on campus. Spent a few yrs as a UU minister. How does such a one as you negotiate the troubled waters of extreme progressivism and rabid conservatism?

I was in elementary, then high school, respectively, school, when both Kennedy’s and King were shot.
I was raised as a GI brat, till my last 2 years of high school, living on base, and attending school on base. There were kids from all sorts of mixes, naturally, as GI’s had been all over the world.
I grew up under the real threat of Communism, which today folks try to make it nice nice and call it progressivism. I have interviewed and shared bread with many a Soviet Ukrainian religious refugee, so that solidifierd what I had known from a child.
I served 10 years in the military, and three of those were in SouthEast Asia, fighting the spread of Communism. I am a “Cold War Veteran”, witness to how quickly the Iranians hubba-dubba’d once President Reagan was sworn in.
I was taught, what can be done, for the good of the country. Not, what kin I git from da govmint.
Progressivism, is just re-packaged sugar-coated Communism. Why else does the last surviving Premier of Soviet Russia have it so good in San Francisco?
I remember what America Stood for, why people lost their lives to get here, and where it is, today.
And to mix it all into your answer, I’m a Nativist, as well.
It’s all black and white, literally.
