Take 'Em To Task: Spell of Extremism

[Smiley and West]

A listener from Louisville, KY takes Smiley to task for being under West's "spell of extremism."

They both need to wake up from the 2party system instead of evoking pity for the poor while leading people to keep voting for the same 2party system that causes all the problems we're in.

Also, I am sooooooooo sick of people telling me how great things are for people in poverty as a person in poverty.

O these 2party system apologists!

[Jeff 4 Justice]

I cannot get over this call. You guys cannot claim to care about the poor and stay with the same dysfunctional 2party system that has been charge decade after decade. Go talk to Jesse Ventura about the gang of the DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans.

Today is the 40th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. My thoughts?

As a gay man, I WILL GLADLY trade the risk my freedom to marry for the peace of my conscious to not vote for Obama and the 2party system of vicious war.

After President Lyndon Johnson signed the bill in 1964, Martin Luther King had the bravery and character to criticize him and the immoral Vietnam War.

The next time I see photos of a precious child whose body has been partly blown off by drone attack bombs (or any war violence for that matter), I will be at peace knowing I did not concede or consent to accepting things as having to be this way when there are better alternative party options of peace, freedom, and liberty.

In the social media age and in a time where most people who speak up do not have to worry about the threat of violence, there is no reason why we cannot organize to topple the 2party system. But even if we cannot topple the 2party system in this upcoming election, at the very least, we certainly do not have to validate it and its perpetual war, poverty, and attack on civil liberties with our vote.

I’d rather put my energy into doing the right thing from the get go instead of giving into the vicious cycle of fear-based conceding for short sighted tradeoffs at the expense of other people’s suffering.

To the victims of the weapon wars, drug law wars, poverty, illness caused by the policies of the corporately controlled 2party system, and any other injustice, I am so sorry that so many of my fellow Americans cannot emancipate themselves from the fear of voting for alternative parties. I am so sorry so many keep conceding to accepting the acceleration of human suffering as inevitable just because the powers that be creating these horrors have such great wealth – especially when WE could have the fighting spirit combined with our numbers as the 99% to organize and topple the corporately controlled 2party system.

We got woman the right to vote. We got the Civil Rights act. We’re getting more and more LGBT equality. We can certainly topple the 2party system.

I will never, never, never, never, never again vote for the 2party system if there is an alternative party option on my ballot. If there is no alternative party option, I will either abstain or, if allowed, write in myself.

I will never, never, never, never, never validate, justify, or make excuses for the evils of the 2party system.

An injustice to one is an injustice to all.
