Merry Christmas to the Radical Left Lunatics at DU

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

Keep on posting! Reading DU is a way for me to see that I am not going insane because there are other people who know we are being gaslighted (gaslit?).

- He's a "radical left lunatic" environmentalist tree hugger.

- Both the song "Ohio" and "Rockin in the Free world" are typical "radical left lunatic" songs.

- He's directly criticized members of the oil industry and focused blame on the actions of the Canadian government for ignoring the environmental impact of climate change.
He referred to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper as "an embarrassment to many Canadians...and a very poor imitation of the George Bush administration in the United States."

I could go on listing his radical left lunacies, but I won't.

Like Neal, I'm a proud radical left lunatic, and also a 3rd generation Democrat who strongly supports Greta Thunberg and other environmentalists.

I'm a 2nd generation Liberal Democratic. My father was born in 1903, and, at 78, I still remember his comment that, "the Republicans never did a thing for the common man".

He raised me "woke"; the only way to go through life.
