With all due respect to Franks, in my humble opinion, he has lost the plot.
I respect the fact that he intends to show the sincerity of his views, given the facts and circumstances.
I have no ill will toward him, and wish for him what I would wish for any good people-- a painless transition from this world to the next.
However, I can not agree with his politics, in general.
It's been de rigueur to attack the left for as long as I can remember.
It's not productive. It's counter-productive, and, considering the numerous, various sources over the years-- it's a sad, if not a pathetic phenomenon akin to Stockholm Syndrome.
Unfortunately, in humble opinion, Franks will go down in history as something of milquetoast politician.
The American people want the New Deal as much as they have always wanted it, no matter the wrecking balls that have been taken to it.
Democrats should 1. should stop their internecine warfare; 2. stop supporting these foreign wars and; 3. truly focus on the need the American people have for a functioning society.
