Let’s not forget the REAL heritage of Russian Orthodox Christians in this country. We were Wobblies and we were leaders in the sit-down strikes and we stood in the forefront of the labour movement. Let’s recapture that heritage and legacy today…

Indeed, this shutdown may reduce Norquist‘s nutty-squirrel notions to a size that’ll make it easy to “drown it in the bathtub”. I’d pay to see that… and I’m not alone (hat tip to all the courageous Left folks in Orthodox parishes who’re pushed around by rightwing pukes… it won’t last forever, kids). Don’t forget… the Valley went for the Prez because most ethnic Orthodox people “came home”. Don’t be fooled by the loud sorts. We still outnumber ’em… and haven’t forgotten Baba and Dede’s courage during the sit-down strike days. Trust me, their legacy still lives…
