My Letter to the Superdelegates of the Democratic Party on why they should support for Bernie Sanders and NOT Hillary Clinton

Bernie’s Endorsement of Hillary Clinton and the Real Beginning of the Revolution

To all of my fellow Berners out there – I know we all feel a soul-crushing sorrow with Bernie’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton yesterday (Tue, 12 July 2016) at a rally In New Hampshire. http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/11/politics/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders/index.html Rage Against… We felt the stabbing knife of betrayal when Elizabeth Warren betrayed her progressive values to vehemently endorse Hillary […]

Open Letter to Bernie Sanders

Monday, 2016 June 13Tuesday, 2018 July 17 James O'Neill37842 Comments

Dear Bernie Sanders, I know you feel battered and bruised with the mainstream media ignoring you and warring against you while giving plenty of free and biased coverage to Trump and Clinton. I know that it is frustrating and that it seems hopeless when the Democratic Party is willing to subvert the electoral process […]

"You have betrayed not only yourself and everything you have fought for, but also all of those true progressives who saw you and Bernie Sanders as our last hope for real change. That hope in us has almost been snuffed out, not only with you selling out and supporting Hillary who is the woman who stands for everything you have been fighting against, but also by not endorsing Bernie Sanders early on when he really, really needed it. You had that chance to turn the tides to make a real difference, to change the world, to be a part of a really, really historic moment, but you chose cowardice instead."

Senator Warren, I am a father, husband, small business owner, home owner and a Navy Veteran who was a part of Desert Storm. Over my 42 years of life and experience I have come to value the electoral process and have an understanding as to how important, powerful and corrupt the process is. I had […]

It really saddens me to have to write this post and to think that I may have to update this as the election season continues. As an addition to my previous post titled ‘Why I am NOT voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016‘ and the ‘Electoral Corruption and Collusion‘ section of that post for this […]

Introduction This is a follow-up to my Facebook post which covers much of the same, but here I am going to flesh it out a bit more, clean it up, and possibly even support it with sources and research too, as I am want to do. =) I am planning on also following this up […]

In 2006 I thought was a Centrist. Not Now.

Thursday, 2015 September 3Monday, 2019 February 25 James O'Neill3210Leave a Comment

So, in 2006 when I was just starting to get into politics and religion I took the Political Compass quiz to find out where I stood and I blogged about it, since it was also news to me. I found myself, where the x and y axisÂ met, just to the left and down. Keep in […]

Morality without Religion?

Friday, 2015 April 17Wednesday, 2018 October 10 James O'Neill89231 Comment

I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in a single session of a class held at our congregation (The Free Congregation of Sauk County) where this question was asked by Nick Schweitzer, the class’ facilitator: 18. When someone asks you how an atheist can be moral, what do you think the underlying question […]

I Have Joined the Green Party!

How I Found Out About The Green Party I have officially joined the Green Party. “How did this come about?” you ask. Well, the short of it is that I took a thorough survey during the 2012 presidential electoral cycle which was titled “I side with…?“. I knew who I was going to vote for […]

Declaration of Principles from Babylon 5

Thursday, 2013 January 10Thursday, 2018 July 19 James O'Neill5642Leave a Comment

This is the text of the Declaration of Principles as written by the character Gâ€™Kar in an episode from the science fiction series Babylon 5, a Star Trek spin-off. These are powerful words and quite applicable to a liberal theology. I think here is the actual reading from the series. The universe speaks in many […]

2012 Presidential Election is Historic for Many Reasons

Tuesday, 2012 November 13 James O'Neill2718Leave a Comment

I can say that I am really happy at the results for the 2012 Presidential Election. I was very worried about this election. I stayed up late into the night watching the results as they were slowly tallied. My stomach was upset when I saw that Romney had the lead like 23 to 8 electoral […]
