The Problem of Absolute Power
Absolute power cannot be wielded absolutely forever. The exercise of power in institutions and organizations in any social order can spawn the catabolic elements of its own demise, for within the matrix of power’s workings are the tendencies of human beings to exceed the limits of power particularly in their coercive attempts to maintain and […]
” The Problem of Procedural Injustice.”
The crises now facing American Liberal Democracy may have as much to do with the denial of procedural justice by politicians as it does the aversion of distributive justice for everyday Americans through failed political processes, corrupt political leaders and a broken political system. Such grievous injustices have been evidenced most recently by the refusal […]
The Hero Will Be Missed.
In these solemn hours and days in our country—we still hope, work and believe that bright burnished days will be our future—the examples of true heroic men and women of strong moral courage and good moral character who are true public servants who love their country, have sacrificed tremendously for it and with all their […]
“Fighting Fire With Waters.”
Since the beginning of Donald Trump’s presidency, Representative Maxine Waters has been one of his most strident and vocal critics. She has not minced her words nor left to chance what she thinks about inveterate Republicans and the President destroying and bankrupting the United States of America with their “one-party-all-or- nothing politics” and the culture […]
Welcome To Hassmania!
Located in the lower rungs of the upper bowels of the tighter enclosures of the boroughs of HASSBEN lies the kingdom of HASSMANIA—-once a shining, shimmering city on a hill— now being bum rushed and dip flipped by the tribal Curmudgeons, Ziggabytes, Wallopdytes, Troglodytes and Mythomaniacs and other minor schools of the rapscallion sectors of […]
Local Pastors, Leaders And People As Rights Activists and Advocates
Recently I had the good fortunate to join in discussions about why many Christian pastors are not more strident civil rights activists and advocates. Why aren’t more pastors more actively involved in civil and human rights advocacy locally and nationally? Why don’t pastors preach more sermons on political, social and economic issues to their congregations? […]
“Despite How You Have Been Sometimes Mistreated, Your Country Has Not Quit You So Be Careful Not To Quit Your Country!
Much criticism and cynicism flourish these days about where America is truly headed. Some have given up all hope that America will ever become in reality what it professes to be as a nation on paper. The Three Great Documents of Freedom remain the cornerstones of our nation which began as a people centered Democracy […]
“To Uphold and Defend the Constitution of the United States Against all Enemies Foreign and Domestic.” So, Help Us God!
An oath is a solemn promise. The following is the oath of office taken by members of Congress of the United States of America: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and […]
And the Children and Youths Will Lead Them
Enough is enough! The children of Florida have spoken and the rest of the nation is paying attention. Deeply hurt and traumatized seeing their school mates, family members and teachers gunned down in cold blood in the hallways and classrooms of their schools, they are ready to take constructive action to curtail, prevent and eradicate […]
Fix What’s Broken And Don’t Break What’s Fixed
Friends, pardon me, but I am continually amazed and befuddled at the showcase of incompetency and indifference by some political leaders in this country. How they are hurling this country backwards by refusing to fix the myriad problems which are fracturing and breaking our Democratic Constitutional Republic is utterly astounding. Is there a larger more […]
