Sam Adams visits the 24th Congressional District

In the spirit of not quitting, I bring on this Saturday the thoughts of Sam Adams. No, no, not about beer, but about the proper role of a minority opinion in politics:

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in the people's minds."

In these days when the leadership of the Democratic Party seems devoted to the idea of sidling up as close, ideologically, to the right wing Republican Party as it can, political tinder abounds.
