Learn to Swim Episode 1: Learned Swine (Video & Podcast)

The very first batch of our recorded biweekly-ish ramblings are now available for your enjoyment. This week we cover the moving documentary titled "I Am Not Your Negro", written by the iconic James Baldwin and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. We also examine aspects of the impeachment acquittal of the president in the Senate, the actual worship of the president by the American evangelical movement, and assorted minutiae such as Rush Limbaugh's Medal of Freedom and the artwork of conservative painter James McNaughton. The hyperlink below left will give you the audio alone, and the video of course is directly below. One of us is obviously off-frame to the right; this was an accident.

There is quite literally no logical, intellectual, or historical basis to support this, flawed, disingenuous and outdated philosophy. We all remember when those incredibly moderate, political activists, effected real change; in regards to race, class, gender, sexuality or belief system, right? Yeah, that was quite literally; never in our collective, or any other society’s, for that matter, entire god damned history. Political radicals brought you Civil Rights, Gay Rights, an end to slavery, workers rights, women’s rights, religious freedom, representative democracy instead of monarchy, ended European fascism (the French Resistance, Spanish Revolution, an end to German and Italian fascism, the New Deal, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Federa l H...
