“I'll name a political agenda, you tell me which political party owns it: A: Push this country's wealth to the super-rich; B: Deny you're doing "A". Yes, I got that concept from a "Blast the Right" podcast, along with the phrase "Reverse Robin Hood economics." Jack Clark is one of the few media activists who is on board with these realities. He breaks down the Far Right's many deceptions with cool rational logic, yet takes a stance that is not passive and defeatist, but defiant and aggressive. Nonetheless he maintains an open invitation to right wingers to engage in reasoned discussion. This may be part of the reason Jack Clark's internet name is the "Rational Radical." As reviewer D'Angelo points out, Mr. Clark "notes ALL of his sources." Jack's style is very engaging and entertaining. He's calm and gracious, yet obviously earnest about the issues. His tone imparts challenge and he will cleverly taunt his point-of-view counterparts. Working and middle class folks who still manage to be hard core conservatives would just have to listen to Jack with an open mind to realize which side their bread is buttered on--and who is trying to give their meager pat of butter to someone wealthier. A certain political element would like to eliminate government which exists for the public good, and replace it with Good Willed private industry like Halliburton, Enron, and Bernie Madoff. This element would continue to unleash on us and the world a scenario of unbalanced, unregulated, greed-driven mayhem, while assuring working and middle class citizens how good it is for them, using stilted scare phrases like "job-killing taxes." Jack Clark exposes these and a myriad of schemes and scams, and the real shame is that his program is vastly underexposed. True patriots tell truth to Power.
