Since the Republican establishment is facing a restructuring of their party by movements like Trumpism, the Democratic establishment should also have a cleansing enema. Old school Country Club conservatives were generally pro-business, lower taxes decent people but to win national elections they connected with radical, less sophisticated folks.
From the Tea Party to the Trump crew, the far right radicals have taken over the GOP. The Democrat establishment is based on liberals on the two coasts, labor union memberships and African Americans. However, the fastest growing segment of the left is Bernie Sanders’ Progressives. Their socialism and social free thinking makes some rural Southern Blacks uncomfortable.
Look here, we should put everything on the table during this time of swift transition and maybe a more perfect union will emerge from the fray. To me, Barack Obama represents what we ideally should be while Donald Trump presents who we actually are—the good, the bad and the ugly. The early 1980″s hit “Against the Wind” comes to mind because the Democrats are constantly facing election storms—weather they can’t weather.
Crazy notions come off the corners and barbershops in the African American community. The rapper Jadakiss had a song called “Why” that included the line “Why did Bush knocked down the towers.” Of course, he didn’t believe that but was conveying what some folks wildly think. He also said “Why they let the Terminator win the election.” Hey, there are wild thoughts across the spectrum. I say put all of it on the table once and for all then move forward.
The Democrat establishment considers many of the following points of contention “unallowable.” I say put every possible idea, concept and wild notion up for debate and deliberation.

You can’t blame Project Logic Ga if America goes to hell in a hand basket. After 600 blog posts, I spent a year writing the Best Interests Initiative which outlines what we can do to improve with limited governmental involvement. Then, we created OPEN 20/20 to plan discussions in 20 Georgia communities with 20 key grassroots leaders. To have those meetups with “Unallowable” on the table would be refreshing. Bob Seger wrote “Against the Wind” and he also pinned “Turn The Page.” We really need to turn the page as a nation.
