My Letter to the Superdelegates of the Democratic Party on why they should support for Bernie Sanders and NOT Hillary Clinton

Bernie’s Endorsement of Hillary Clinton and the Real Beginning of the Revolution

To all of my fellow Berners out there – I know we all feel a soul-crushing sorrow with Bernie’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton yesterday (Tue, 12 July 2016) at a rally In New Hampshire. http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/11/politics/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders/index.html Rage Against… We felt the stabbing knife of betrayal when Elizabeth Warren betrayed her progressive values to vehemently endorse Hillary […]

Open Letter to Bernie Sanders

Monday, 2016 June 13Tuesday, 2018 July 17 James O'Neill26272 Comments

Dear Bernie Sanders, I know you feel battered and bruised with the mainstream media ignoring you and warring against you while giving plenty of free and biased coverage to Trump and Clinton. I know that it is frustrating and that it seems hopeless when the Democratic Party is willing to subvert the electoral process […]

"You have betrayed not only yourself and everything you have fought for, but also all of those true progressives who saw you and Bernie Sanders as our last hope for real change. That hope in us has almost been snuffed out, not only with you selling out and supporting Hillary who is the woman who stands for everything you have been fighting against, but also by not endorsing Bernie Sanders early on when he really, really needed it. You had that chance to turn the tides to make a real difference, to change the world, to be a part of a really, really historic moment, but you chose cowardice instead."

It really saddens me to have to write this post and to think that I may have to update this as the election season continues. As an addition to my previous post titled ‘Why I am NOT voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016‘ and the ‘Electoral Corruption and Collusion‘ section of that post for this […]

In 2006 I thought was a Centrist. Not Now.

Thursday, 2015 September 3Monday, 2019 February 25 James O'Neill2229Leave a Comment

Flash Fiction – “Kin Slayer’s First Breath” (~ 680 words, fantasy)

Friday, 2015 June 12Wednesday, 2019 February 6 James O'Neill1813Leave a Comment

As the kingâ€™s honor guard roughly dragged Tradion out of his lightless dungeon cell by his heavy black iron chains, his left cheek bled profusely and he limped from the horrendous beating the guards had just delivered him for having the temerity to ask for water. They were once his friends and comrades-at-arms, as was […]

Trigger Warnings: rape, murder, women, children, serial killer, prison, capital punishment They sat there in the sterile white visitation room, a thick ceiling-to-floor glass wall separated them as a large red digital timer on the wall counted down from fifteen minutes, second-by-second. The fluorescent ceiling light cast a sickly white light over both of them […]

Morality without Religion?

I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in a single session of a class held at our congregation (The Free Congregation of Sauk County) where this question was asked by Nick Schweitzer, the class’ facilitator: 18. When someone asks you how an atheist can be moral, what do you think the underlying question […]
