Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen.
It is with personal unction that my politics have shifted to the right over the years. Part of the reason for that has been the increased anti-Semitism I feel growing on the left, as well as the embracing of some of that anti-Semitism either by openly accepting it, or at least by failure to condemn.
My unease is not going away anytime soon.
Nonetheless, it is important to note when those who are associated with the left put their foot down. In that regard, it is incumbent to point out that over the last week, actresses Alyssa Milano and Debra Messing have both publicly stated that they will have nothing further to do with the Women's March until a full-throated condemnation of Louis Farrakhan is stated from the leadership. Good for them.
They should probably not hold their breath.
It is important to give praise where it is due. Thank you to Ms. Milano and to Ms. Messing for speaking out not only against what they perceive as the excesses of the right (whether or not I agree is irrelevant), but also to the excesses of the left.
Have a good day everyone.
