FOCUS: Explaining how fascism helps confuse today’s argument

ANOTHER VIEW: From an old roadside sign, to where we are today

By Ashley Herndon  |  Note this picture from times past. Thanks to your parents and grandparents, they got us where we are today. I am old enough to remember seeing that sign and similar magazine pictures and believing them wholeheartedly. The days of good uncensored public educational opportunities made them possible.

FOCUS: We must fight for our principles every single day

By Ashley Herndon  |  The United States is a paradox of freedom vs ill-liberal royalists, plantation capitalists, emperors, fascists, and theocratic zealots.  The battle between the Pharisees and Sadducees is still at full tilt.  How many more millions must die to gain personal liberty?

FOCUS: Recent comment suggests Banana Republic elements

By Jeff Gorke  |  It’s easy to demagogue and name call without providing cites, facts, or being accurate. That way you can’t be refuted and the echo chamber dutifully nods. If you disagree with the direction of our country, you’re a Fascist, neo-Nazi, fill-in-the-bad-name here.

FOCUS: Plantation capitalism being pushed on us again

By Ashley Herndon  |  If our citizenry does not think “Plantation Capitalism” is being pushed upon us again, we need to review U.S. History, not the conflated opinions of Tea Partiers, Neo-Cons, Qanons, Proud Boys, Trumpsters/Neo-Fascists, et al.
