What About Those Gates of Hell?

January 25, 2020November 21, 2020Douglas BrooksLeave a comment

As the Republicans take their place to defend this craven fraud, this criminal beyond all defense, I am reminded that JFK loved Dante as much as Dr. King. Both cite the poet to remind us that courage takes its stand and that there is no neutrality in the face of evil. This is lesson...

I can’t condemn everything someone says just because I disagree with them nearly 100% of the time. It was George Will who reminded me once that to be an American means only to dedicate to the proposition—that it is not race, ethnicity, language, or any other criteria that frames the ideal.

January 20, 2020November 21, 2020Douglas BrooksLeave a comment

I hope it’s appropriate to begin MLK Day celebrations by also making a connection to our American Founders and to Lincoln. We always need perspective to create a vision. To fathom what Dr. King was asking of us is to acknowledge the inexcusable failures of our American founding and yet to “conceive in liberty”...

After the Same Rainbow’s End

December 24, 2019November 21, 2020Douglas BrooksLeave a comment

I don’t know where to put this thought or exactly how I feel about this comment. It’s a few days before Christmas and I spent the day visiting with my daughter. We made food and laughed and told stories and, as always, played some music and watched some old movies. There was a fine...
