My big problem with Meidas Touch - besides the unnecessary length of their clips - is the exaggerated headlines.They are capable of such good work, and these two things undercut their reach. It really is a pity.

I see Meidas Touch's silly click bait headline and ask myself "has my BS quota been reached today? ..."

More and more frequently, I pass

dignity, no empathy, and many more good character attributes they lack, they are just racists, and many other things that are no good.

And it makes the doughy white guys scared.

It's simple, really. Treat everyone with the same respect you yourself expect to be treated with. Understand that your rights end precisely where they start to trample the rights of other people. And how other people decide to live their lives has no bearing on you. As my wise mother told me many times as a child, MOB...mind own business...and you'll have more than enough to keep you busy.

Yes he is and good for him. To be in order apparently you must have a readily handy klan robe. And quoting god on a congressional floor as conservatives like to do ??? Let’s do away with the separation of church and state, turn loose the assessors and watch in awe as we discover what Christian racists really value.

The character of eloquence, intellect and calm demeanor of all these young legislators. Even Zooey Zehpyr is so soft spoken, never raises her tone, none of them do. That's probably what galls the bigots most, that these young people are more intelligent than they are, know how government works better than they do and are not afraid to demand their rights be recognized. It's going to be a rather uncomfortable time for those who seek to silence them.
