As this article makes clear, William Barr is s religious extremist too. He’s a Catholic and it is interesting to note that a good number of right wing extremists in position of power are Catholics, not least on the Supreme Court. It was in the Catholic Church that my early religious training and mis-education began and ended. In my late teens I said to myself, “Who needs all this guilt inducing moralizing?” I answered, “Not me.” And promptly left the church and religion behind. No regrets on that decision.

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago.
While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut.
I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
