Daniel Kammen, a renewable energy expert appointed last year as a science envoy to the State Department, resigned Wednesday, citing President Trump's response to the violence in Charlottesville as the final straw that led to his departure.
Kind of makes you wonder, you know, what kind of President could provoke a science envoy to the State department to resign. But not far to look! As Kammen goes on:
In a resignation letter posted to Twitter, Kammen wrote that Trump's remarks about the racial violence in Virginia had attacked "core values of the United States" and that it would have "domestic and international ramifications."
Even American scientists have ethics, and will not serve violent racist regimes, like Nazi Germany. So there is that.
But the most interesting thing, is the encryption:
However, his most biting message may have come in the form of a hidden acrostic: The first letter of each paragraph spelled out I-M-P-E-A-C-H.

Two sided? I thought that I had made it pretty clear. The Nazis have their side. The commies have their side. And, I'm not buying what either of them are selling. I'm American, not Nazi, not commie. If every skinhead white supremacists were to die tonight, and take a commie/progressive with him, the world would be a far more beautiful place.

It is interesting how you use the propaganda term from your age bracket's indoctrination. Commies! The reds! Where are you even getting the idea that she was a communist?
I don't know why I bother asking, its obviously from talk radio / fox / some other propaganda sites that throw out keywords to get you emotionally triggered. And you call everyone else a sucker...

She was a member of the "Industrial Workers of the World". Google it, if you like.

I decided to take the bait, and boy was I "shocked" at what I found!

So unions == communism??? Yup, mid 20th century propaganda confirmed! Runaway you might want to consider going back to school for retirement, if you actually care about truth and have the balls to undo your own brainwashing.

So, you clicked the link. Did you read it? Go back, and search for the word "communist". The AFL thought the IWW was "to radical". This is back in the day when the AFL was pretty radical itself.

I had typed a full response before being called away to a critical task. In hindsight, I decided to reduce it to a minimum.
You, sir, are an ass.
And in celebrating the death of a murder victim, you are also a particularly sick piece of shit.
