I accept your invitation to help you get through the crisis you are experiencing in
\nthe wake of Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump in the presidential election.<\/p>\n
I will do my best to be gracious and humble……….despite the sense of anger
\nI continue to feel having known you since the Kucinich campaign in 2003.<\/p>\n
You are a very intelligent and hard-working fellow, Mr. Dinan. You are
\nwell-intentioned with your spiritual agenda and hopes for a better world.<\/p>\n
The thing that sticks out to me is how you and so many other so-called
\nprogressives were always insensitive to what others who disagreed with
\nyou were saying, being so quick to dismiss their views as those you were
\nworking against.<\/p>\n
So if I questioned your support of Hillary you immediately assumed I was in
\nfavor of Trump which was never true……….until recently when I saw how
\nmuch he had grown during the campaign.<\/p>\n
You never considered that there were other options besides Coke and Pepsi, More than anything, it was not your opposition to Trump that bothered me: Why on earth would anyone waste their valuable time and money promoting This is what is at the heart of everything that disgusts decent people around Yet somehow you could not see it! Why, Steve?<\/p>\n The unwillingness of the Left to look beyond the easy labeling of Trump For me, it was the complete failure of liberals and progressives to challenge Yes, you were concerned about the environment and gays and other abused Please ask yourself why, Steve. Please.<\/p>\n And somehow you failed to see that Mrs. Clinton was as guilty as any Neocon So I will end my very imperfect effort at compassion by suggesting the following: Re-evaluate your responsibility for not being a better listener to those you disagree with. After you indulge in that period of introspection, I invite you to come back and
\nbesides Hillary and The Donald, such as Jill Stein or Gary Johnson or working to
\nbuild a brand new party dedicated to peace: https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=32281<\/a><\/p>\n
\nit was your support for Mrs. Clinton! It is virtually impossible for someone
\nlike me to understand how someone as smart as you and others who
\nbacked her, could say yes to a person as obviously corrupt as she.<\/p>\n
\na person with such a tainted record in public service who had clearly benefitted
\nfinancially from holding office rather than earning it like most of us are required to do?<\/p>\n
\nthe country who loathe the special treatment and abuse of the political elite.<\/p>\n
\nsupporters as “deplorables” and “racists” was what did you in. Had Bernie
\nSanders been truly courageous and taken on Hillary from the start rather
\nthan cavalierly dismissing her lawlessness regarding her e-mails in the
\nfirst primary debate, perhaps he would be on his way to the White House
\ninstead of Trump.

\nthe Washington Consensus regarding foreign policy and our unending imperial
\nwars of aggression that left me deeply saddened. The costs in lives, treasure
\nand good will our country has caused—and suffered—is incalculable!

\ngroups. But somehow you failed to see that countless millions were being
\nkilled, wounded, psychological scarred and\/or displaced by illegal wars of
\naggression in violation of the Nuremberg mandate that followed WWII.<\/p>\n
\nor hawk that constituted the Military Industrial Complex which lay at the heart of
\nwhat ails our society as Ike warned it very well might over 50 years ago.<\/p>\n
\nplease reread your new book, the parts that talk about having greater sensitivity
\nto those with different views.

\nSee how by supporting Hillary Clinton you were being too lazy to do the hard work of starting from the ground up and building a true movement of love and peace and cooperation rather than endorsing someone smeared with the excrement of Wall Street excess and corruption that she represented to countless millions……..the very voters who rejected her last night and sent you reeling into your current funk.<\/p>\n
\nhave a truly open discussion with those of us who have worked hard to build
\na better future……one free of the likes of Hillary and filled with the very values
\nso beautifully articulated in your book and by the speakers you present to
\nthe public. http:\/\/beingjackbutler.com\/jack-butler-interviews-stephen-dinan-on-creating-a-world-which-works-for-all\/<\/a><\/p>\n
