Is Cole Thomas Allen a quieter version of John Brown? Is there a current Christian (or even more broadly "religious") movement that will, as he wrote, not turn the other cheek because they themselves are not oppressed but are called to fight for those who are? SCOTUS post-Calais wishes to find out.

I am starting to think, because the evidence points this way, that these ghouls in this Administration are acting to actually kill old and sick people to reduce Medicare, Medicaid,and Social Security rolls for "savings." Swift's "Modest Proposal" written without shame, satire, or modesty.
