WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

Give Me...Your Huddled Masses....

NRA and many conservative thinkers perpetuate the hypocrisy.  On and on.  And they can't see it.  Won't see it.  Either way, it's hypocritical.  

 

Paris—the city I always think of as love-filled—was hit by terrorist attacks last Friday, November 13.   Nine men in groups of 3 targeted a packed theater during a rock concert , restaurants, and a stadium where the French president was in the crowd. 


It looks like one of the terrorists had ID from or was one of the immigrants from Syria.  That one situation has sent too many Americans into a state of amnesia.  Fear apparently makes us forget that we are a kind, caring, and generous people.  I'd bet many of the fear-motivated people believe in "American exceptionalism."   Maybe we all need to pause and think about what that term means.  What makes us "exceptional" and whether we are.
