(29,166 posts)and his special comments when he had a show... and I miss these resist rants...
He always spoke the truth... a little to loudly for the powers that be... and he has or had an ego issue of his own...
It's a ego issue that I completely understand... that feeling that you live in a world of morons. It has taken me years to get over myself and recognize that others are not only entitled to an opinion, but it would be wise for me to listen sometimes and be humble. That isn't to say that I'm wrong that they are right... but simply to listen and be humble.

(51,432 posts)in both Sports and Politics, but it also takes self assurance and self respect to be able to put yourself out their before the often adverse public opinion. You must have a strong sense of self to be able to withstand the "slings and arrows" of the opposition. Keith has that and that is why people listen to him. He is smart and experienced and knows how to work within his parameters.
It seems to me that YOU ARE "listening" to others' opinions and DO NOT react if they are not shared by others. I wish I could say the same for the cult/base that seems to be unable to differentiate between what is considered opinion by a certain group and and what is fact. When opinions are based on misinformation and personal bias (as the country seems to be there days) and majorities can't discern between the two then we are really, really screwed as a nation. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE NOW.

(51,432 posts)I do not do "social media" with twitter but have googled him for a sane voice but he rarely mentions politics for some reason.

(51,432 posts)then we are more screwed than I previously thought.
He HATES tRump and used to live in one of his buildings. He has connections in the media. How could anyone stop him from speaking his loud (and usually accurate) voice?
