Liberal columnist Maureen Dowd every year around Thanksgiving gives her brother an opportunity to use her space in The New York Times to express his conservative views. I’m not that ecumenical.
I don’t have to be. My sister Lee is as, or even more, liberal than I. She follows more left-wing sites than I do, so, in case you, too, have not signed onto them, herewith are some of her recent repostings that you might not have seen:
“Georgia voters, Hershel (sic) Walker LIVES in Texas because he doesn’t want to pay GA state income taxes. Is that really who you want to represent you in DC? He won’t support your state with his tax money, but wants you to pay him a Senators (sic) salary.” —The Other 98%
“Republican Newt Gingrich on Joe Biden: ‘Republicans must learn to quit underestimating this President.
‘Conservatives’ hostility to the Biden administration on our terms tends to blind us to just how effective Biden has been.

“Damn. Even Biden’s enemies can’t deny he gets shit done.” —The Other 98%
“Ron DeSantis is just as bad, if not worse, than Trump.
“Don’t be fooled by his ability to form complete sentences.” —The Other 98%

“5 words: Tax billionaires out of existence” —Warren Gunnels cited on More Perfect Union
“I have become more radical in the last 5 years than in all my days at college, law school, and 41 years of practicing law. They say one gets more conservative as they get older, and I say, not if you’re paying attention.” — SandaBlueDeux, Juris Doctor
“When rich CEOs brag about how many hours they work, remember that they have servants who clean their house, cook their meals, and do their shopping.
“When you have to do these things for yourself, it doesn’t count as ‘working,’ mysteriously.” — The Other 98%
“Now would be a good time to stop worshipping billionaires.” — Robert Reich

“The gunman was stopped by two unarmed men in a gay club. He was firing and they fought him, they saved countless lives. They weren’t police. Just citizens tired of this and refusing to let their friends die. Courage under fire. Peak bravery.

“If selling a gay couple a wedding cake means a ‘Christian’ baker participated in their marriage, does selling a gun to a murderer mean a ‘Christian’ gun store owner participated in the murder?” — Occupy Democrats
