But it’s worked
A long-time leftist, Lilla claims that the Democrats have become addicted to pressure groups that slice the public into ethnic, national and sexual elements.

Blog Notes
Busy weekend. Canning tomatoes, blanching beans, chard, maybe corn, juicing crab-apples, and I want to brew on Sunday plus all the regular late summer Canada yard things.
Posting will be light for the remainder of the weekend.

Iconoclasm
Usually though, iconoclasm is about destroying your competitors religious symbols.
Not your own.

Gord Wyant official enters the race for Saskatchewan Party leadership.
In his announcement, Wyant — who has most recently served as Justice Minister — said Saskatchewan people can expect him to stand up for the province, “whether that be on the federal carbon tax, Ottawa’s top-down approach to the legalization of marijuana or federal tax changes that will hurt small businesses and farm families, the lifeblood of our province.
“My priority has — and always will be — defending Saskatchewan’s interests,” he said in a prepared statement.

It was soon obvious to my fellow students that I was not quite with the programme. In a class discussion early in my first semester, I made the mistake of mentioning that I believed in objective standards in art. Some art is great, some isn’t, I said; not all artists are equally talented. This was deemed an undemocratic opinion and I was given a nickname: the cultural fascist. I’ve tried to take it affectionately.
