Massachusetts Liberals
Social democracies are the happiest countries in the world today. The United Nations has been able to quantify it. Why are they so happy? 90% of their workers are in labor unions, and therefore they get paid a living wage. They have universal health care. And they also have universal daycare. They adhere to a… Continue reading

About SBprogressives
SB stands for South Boston or Southie–an historical section of Boston, Massachusetts. Not only is it where I was born and raised; it is also where this country had its painful birth. George Washington and Colonel Knox miraculously dragged cannons from Fort Ticonderoga to Dorchester Heights in Southie. The British were forced to flea the… Continue reading

Corporate Fascism
Where is the outrage? Is the revolution ever coming? Bill O’Reilly gets fired for sexual harassment, yet Trump who brags about sexually harassing women (and who demonstrated his lack of respect for women with his lewd comments) is elected president?! Corporations have created a corporate feudal system in which their employees are treated like wage… Continue reading

Trump’s Great Motivator: Spite
Our country is being run by a man who has one goal: destroy President Obama’s Legacy. He hasn’t gotten his way with Republicans on The Hill. They either have the political aptitude to realize that they will not win in 2018 if they repeal Obamacare without a plan to replace, or they are decent human… Continue reading

The Parasitic Neoliberal Agenda
Only a truly powerful group of ideological dogmatists, well-funded by our wealthiest citizens, could redefine American democracy, unscrupulously steal the sovereignty of the American people, and obscure the belief in the progressive economic values subscribed to by The Constitution’s Framers. Friedman/Hayek’s Chicago School of economics is a laissez faire, capitalist ideology parasitic by nature. Our… Continue reading

We The People
It is disappointing that we have strayed so far from the core principles of our country. One cannot blame one party, one branch of government, or one politician. “The fault lies in our stars.” The Founding Fathers, cognizant that a well-educated and civically engaged citizenry committed to their role as the guardians of the rights… Continue reading

I’m Voting for Ed Flynn
Ed Flynn grew up and still lives in South Boston, one of the neighborhoods that make up our District 2. He shares the collective values of our diverse district of Bay Village, Beacon Hill, Chinatown, The South End, and South Boston. And that is I will vote for him on November 7, 2017 come rain,… Continue reading

Our president is defending–not condemning–neo-nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups
There is no room for equivocal statements when neo-nazis are marching through our cities. Sure, they have the right to freedom of speech, and I know that the message of love and unity will always defeat the message of hate and division in the marketplace of ideas. So give these philistines their march with their… Continue reading

The Jewish Roots of Catholicism; Jesus was a Jew
In 414, an entire community of Jews were violently assaulted by Christians to the point of extinction. This atrocity, like so many other other atrocities, stemmed from ignorance. Catholics based their faith, and excused their egregious behavior towards those of other faiths, with their comprehension of the early Christian Church, and the Nicene Creed. However,… Continue reading
