The Washington Post quotes the late John Lewis!

MONDAY, JULY 20, 2020

Echoes of other lives:
The late John Lewis never abandoned his basic idea—you shouldn't hate the others.

Yesterday, in a featured editorial, the Washington Post quoted Lewis explaining where he came from:
Mr. Lewis might have had reason to hate. One of 10 children in an Alabama sharecropping family (“. . . it was a system designed to make us fail”), he recalled going proudly to market for the first time with his father, a man he loved and revered—and seeing him treated as less than a man by white people. “But living on that farm,” he wrote, “enveloped by the contrasting purity and innocence of nature, often sequestered from a world that seemed tragically unjust and unfair, I searched inside myself and developed an ability to hear my inner voice speak.”
Living on (a sharecropper's section of) a farm, cast away from many distractions and disappointments, John Lewis searched inside himself.

In the process, he says he developed an ability to hear his inner voice speak.

We thought that was a beautiful tribute editorial. The quotation from Lewis made us think of other famous lives.

He "learned to hear his inner voice speak!" We expect to return to this topic, we hope at the end of the week.

    Whoa. As a renowned psychiatrist, what would be your diagnosis here, dear Bob?

    Or is your expertise so narrow that it only allows you to diagnose Our Beloved Commander, his friend Mr Stone, and a few other Others?

  2. John Lewis didn't speak in order to express Somerby's thoughts. I hope Somerby will have enough respect for the things Lewis valued not to bend his words to suit his own purposes.

    1. Somerby didn’t blog that John Lewis was ecumenical on every political stance. He said that Lewis didn’t hate people.

      sheesh.

    2. Your usage of the word "ecumenical" goes outside of it's intended use, as determined by it's definition.

      It is always interesting that Republicans feel free to play fast and loose with the rules for their own benefit, while demanding everyone else perform as prescribed.

      It's alright, as someone once sang. I can gather what you mean (really I can not but I am too embarrassed to admit); having said that, Somerby did say:

      "never abandoned his basic idea"

      Now, you can also go ahead and redefine "never", it is a free country, but I worry about how it indicates our words have "loose moorings". (I quote the coolest, Ben Shapiro, from his Fox & Friends performance, rapidly fretting over those who might voice criticism of Trump's response to Covid, those that suggest there be a federal mandate to wear masks - oh gosh, don't faint.)

      Thankfully there is no federal mandate to not "hate the others" (hate crimes aside), as I sense were it otherwise, your ilk would be whisked away in unmarked vans.

      Jesus.

      I can freely exclaim fully, as the notion that there is a supernatural consequence is a myth.

      In fact:

      God damn Republicans.

      To be fair, likely a redundant request.

      I am wondering, what allows Somerby to speak his inner voice? He has no job, who funds him and his peculiar hate?

    3. Give my regards to the voices in your head.

      Actually, you wouldn’t relay anything of mine if we had spent days shackled together avoiding vigilantes. Not because you couldn’t, but because you just couldn’t.

      You answer your own questions. No use talking at three o’clock on the moon.

    4. Would that be mild-mannered vigilantes?

      Would that be the dark side?

    5. what a wonderful world we are living, i still doubt this spell caster how he did it!!! i am Tamara Barrow am from USA I am so happy to let the whole word know how this powerful spell caster saved my marriage.Everything was going down the drain as my husband can not stop cheating on me with other women. It became used to always heating on me. I tried to make him stop, but I couldn't help the situation, the more I tried, the harder it becomes. At times we will fight and go apart for some months and we will come back again just because of our kids. One day a friend told me about this spell caster who helped her too, his name is Dr.voodoo, she said he uses white magic spells to solve spiritual problems. I decided to give it a try, I contacted him and he told me it will take just 2 to 3 days and I will see great changes in my husband. He actually cast a spell, believe me after 2 to 3 days of the spell, my husband was confessing different names of woman he has slept with. He begged for forgiveness and never to try it again. From that day till now, my mind is at rest. My husband dislike every other women on earth except me. And am so happy to have him for myself alone.The spell caster’s contact his email at: voodoospelltemple66@gmail.com you can also add Dr.voodoo on whatsApp +2348140120719

  3. Meanwhile:

    "Last week a federal judge was assigned a case centered around how Deutsche Bank helped Jeffrey Epstein cover up his financial transactions with his alleged criminal co-conspirators. This was horrifying enough, considering the crimes consisted of the rape of underage girls. But last night a gunman opened fire on the judge’s house, injuring her husband and killing her son."

    Right, Motherf*cker.

    Ask yourself who your “others” really are, Bob, you hypocrite.

  6. From The Political Wire:

    "A rising number of Americans — now nearly one in three — don’t believe the virus’ death toll is as high as the official count, despite surging new infections and hospitalizations, per this week’s Axios-Ipsos Coronavirus Index.

    Key takeaway: “Republicans, Fox News watchers and people who say they have no main source of news are driving this trend.”"

    Somerby's relentless questioning of the statistics on covid deaths here contributes to this confusion, this belief that totals are somehow being misreported.

    Somerby implies that the number of deaths is being exaggerated by liberal press, while being actually lower when you "adjust for population size". That confuses people into thinking that the news is reporting higher death totals than are occurring.

    Getting people to distrust covid death reporting is part of their plan to minimize the pandemic and shore up Trump's support. People don't seem to be willing to keep Trump in office, but there is enough confusion about death totals that 1/3 (that's one third, or one in three) people think the numbers are inaccurate. How do you like them apples?

    1. "1/3 (that's one third, or one in three)"

      Sorry, but not anymore, dear liberal Perfesser.

      You must've missed it: a recent directive from the Central Committee of The Liberal Cult had instructed the followers to regard 'one in three' as 1/7.

    2. I’m always hearing from the media that the death toll from COVID-19 is likely underestimated.

      Any problem with that?

  15. PLEASE READ...                    

    From the bottom of my heart, I can never thank you enough DR.BALBOSA for the wonderful work you did for me and my kids to bring back my husband. Am stella Andre from England. I was having serious relationship problems with my husband and he was no longer committed to me and our kids, when i asked him what the problem was he told me he has fell out of love for me and wanted a divorce and  i was so heart broken, i cried all day and night, it had resulted in him moving out to his friend’s apartment. Everything got worse because he started going to bars and strip clubs frequently with his friend, getting drunk and passing out. He always threatens me on the phone whenever I call him because of all the bad advice that his friend has given him. I really love him and we had been married for 8 years which gave us a beautiful daughter and a son. I had also lost a lot of money on therapists until I was introduced to DR. BALBOSA by a friend whom he helped to marry her childhood boyfriend, this gave me total confidence and strength to get him back. I did all that DR. BALBOSA asked me to do it and I also followed all instructions given to me by DR. BALBOSA to my greatest surprise after 48 hours my husband called me and rushed back home with a brown new car for me and our kids... things just changed between us emotionally, I was the happiest woman on earth that day. my husband now has a good job and stopped drinking and he stopped keeping irrelevant friends. It’s a miracle I never believed was possible because I had lost all hope until I found DR. BALBOSA...contact him today and get your love back i can assure you .... contact him on his Email on: balbosasolutionhome@gmail.com and CALL/ WHATSAPP: +2347048047728...BYE...
