I hope you guys are starting to understand the difference between a progressive and a liberal, especially the centrist neo liberalism that dominates today’s Democratic Party. Obama, Clinton(s), Biden, Pelosi, Reid, ect… are liberals/ neo liberals trying to perpetuate and add onto a dysfunctional and violent system not reform it.
Sanders represents the progressive faction of American electorate and we are going to see some fireworks in Philadelphia come July. Hopefully my health allows me to go and be part of the rabble getting their civil liberties violated by the Un Democratic Party security thugs.
Happy Summer Solstice to everyone

“In a state ruled by a former Jesuit, perhaps we should not be shocked to find ourselves in the grip of an incipient state religion. Of course, this religion is not actually Christianity, or even anything close to the dogma of Catholicism, but something that increasingly resembles the former Soviet Union, or present-day Iran and Saudi Arabia, than the supposed world center of free, untrammeled expression.
Two pieces of legislation introduced in the Legislature last session, but not yet enacted, show the power of the new religion. One is Senate Bill 1146, which seeks to limit the historically broad exemptions the state and federal governments have provided religious schools to, well, be religious.
Under the rubric of official “tolerance,” the bill would only allow religiously focused schools to deviate from the secular orthodoxy required at nonreligious schools, including support for transgender bathrooms or limitations on expressions of faith by students and even Christian university presidents, in a much narrower range of educational activity than ever before. Many schools believe the bill would needlessly risk their mission and funding to “solve” gender and social equity problems on their campuses that currently don’t exist.
The second piece of legislation, thankfully temporarily tabled, Senate Bill 1161, the Orwellian-named “California Climate Science Truth and Accountability Act of 2016,” would have dramatically extended the period of time that state officials could prosecute anyone who dared challenge the climate orthodoxy, including statements made decades ago. It would have sought “redress for unfair competition practices committed by entities that have deceived, confused or misled the public on the risks of climate change or financially supported activities that have deceived, confused or misled the public on those risks.”

Yeah I remember the mid nineties when ol senile Jerry was trying to refashion himself a libertarian instead of pushing vanity railroad projects designed to enrich his union cronies.
Good times indeed…..!

” the state was going to regulate all aspects of society.” — typical cold war perspective, except the cold war ended a few decades ago.
I am always curious about what conservatives view as “regulation” or not. If anyone cares to respond, I am not interested in hearing ideological regurgitations about freedom and liberty and other undefinable POV kinds of things. Specifically what should a government that serves all the people regulate or not. For example, should a government “regulate” in order to provide safe and effective drugs or food, or should consumers just have to trust large multi-national corporations to do what is best for society0? Should a government “regulate” to prevent pollution of the environment? Should a government “regulate” access and availability of assault weapons? Should a government “regulate” businesses to deter fraud?

Yes Todd, I will actually agree with you that non-political bureaucracies can be frustrating. Hey, good pickup. I think I noticed this when I was about 6 years old for the first time. No, CALTRANS doesn’t typically respond to individual citizen complaints, hard as that concept may be to grasp, as there are too many crazy people submitting dumb things into the ticket system. Much as you would like it to be, there is nothing political involved one way or another.

He LOST, he did not win enough early big states in the South and industrial north. I would have been proud to call him the nominee, but he LOST. I really hope (and believe) he and his team get the progressive priorities deeply embedded into the Dem platform. The Dem party will never be the same.

For your information and considerations:
ANN ALTHOUSE: Snippet from the new CNN poll showing who’s better — Clinton or Trump? — on the economy, terrorism, immigration, and foreign policy. “Note that Clinton lost ground on all of these important matters, and she’s below Trump on what may be the 2 most important things — the economy and terrorism. Trump picked up 3 points on terrorism while Clinton lost 5 in this survey that was taken after the Orlando massacre.”
Plus: “I just got email from something called the ‘Conservative Campaign’ saying: ‘A series of new polls show Hillary Clinton with a growing lead, including a new Monmouth poll out today showing her up by 8%.’ But the previous Monmouth poll had her up by 10.”
So her lead, like the chocolate ration, has been increased from 10 to 8. . . . Wow, ahead but sliding back.

“The Dem Party will never be the same.” Praise be to the Merciful and Glorious Allah, I hope so. Really I do. America will benefit greatly if true. The Dems brought us Jim Crow Laws, the KKK, and “Pigs in a blanket” and have labeled the phrase “America is a land of opportunity” as hurtful, exclusive, and a big Bozo no-no. Change indeed is in order.
Ole Bernie fought his heart out, but once Clinton takes over the DNC, she will be yelling to security to take those passionate followers of Senator Sandors and “get those frigging retards out of here.” Think it’s called “kicking them to the curb.”
If anyone thinks that because of Bernie’s hard fought battles the Establishment will not continue to run the Democrat Party, you are taking some good acid. Better than purple micro dot. The Dem Establishment ain’t going softly into the still night. They love power too much and love having 1/4 of their delegates the chosen Establishment ones….bought and paid for in advance.
Nature abhors a vacumn. Dems love power. That is why so many Dem “people’s party” congresspersons chose to quit rather than serve the people in the role of the minority party? At least Queen Botox is sticking around…dreaming of holding that gavel again. After all, it was a historic event when she began the first female to be Speaker. Where was the confetti?

Or maybe they are just inept and that is one more way to prove our point about bureaucracy we have pointed out from the right. The politics involved is one of response and the right holds people accountable while the left pats them on the ass and says “oh have a candy” you bad little boy.
Sanders is a doomed candidate and he never accomplished anything. The young minds full of mush that voted for him were never taught what their grandparents fought communism about. And they have lived with silver spoons compared to the wretched poor under socialism. Venezuela the latest example.

More taxes are needed cause things do not cost the same as we where told they would cost, aka the train to nowhere, Surprise, surprise. Pension shortfalls are more important, duh.
And when everybody is driving those overpriced electric golf carts, there will be more gas taxes to make up for the shortfall. Then the State will do the new “miles driven” tax via technology and the greenies will be grunting in their granola. Besides, Frisco says the homeless needs are killing them and are demanding Jesuit Jerry declare a state of emergency.

The last California nuclear (or as Jimmy Carter liked to say, noo-cue-la) power plant is on its way to oblivion. It currently generates 9% of the state’s electricity and is online 24/7. It will be replaced with green energy that doesn’t contribute greenhouse gases, but of course, nuclear fission emits no greenhouse gases, either. What will be rising faster, air temperatures or electric bills?

When will such a separation come to pass? Probably not before a financial crisis and the reversion of political and economic control to Washington.

And most certainly what they have learned does NOT apply to “large populations” for the simple reason that they only have very small, culturally homogeneous populations.
