April 26th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Culture, Democracy, General, Human Rights, Politics, Populism, wars and militarism

A lot of Right Wing radio commentators toss around the word “Nazi” these days and it seems that many of them have no idea what they are talking about. Of all absurd things, they call the President a Nazi at times when they are really getting loony. President Barack Obama is a man whom many [...]

The Catholic Church, the President, the Heritage Foundation and Birth Control

February 24th, 2012 · Comments Off · Culture, Health Care, Human Rights, Lobbying, Politics, Populism

One of the implementations of the new health care reform that has gone into effect is the provision that says that women’s reproductive health, the most visible of which is birth control pills, must be included in any health insurance package. This is new. It is part of the law that tries to stop health [...]

Romney Lies about the President

February 5th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Culture, Health Care, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes, wars and militarism

There is a point beyond which credulity will not go. You can lie to some of the people, as Lincoln said, all of the time, or all of the people some of the time. But over a longer period, people will discover the truth. As an aside, this is what happened in 2010. The people [...]

Lies My Republican Candidates Told Me.

October 28th, 2011 · Comments Off · Culture, Politics, Populism, The Budget, Wall Street

The Republican candidates are out on the Old Washington Trail. It leads from Iowa to New Hampshire to the Carolinas, with stops in Nevada and other similarly insignificant places along the way. The costumes are atrocious, the tricks are many and the treats are, well, few and far between. But the missatements of fact…well…they are [...]

OCCUPY AMERICA!

October 26th, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Culture, jobs, Labor, Politics, Populism, taxes, Wall Street

The last big show of Populist sentiment in this country was when the people of Wisconsin stood up against an oppressive Governor and a neo-Fascist Republican legislature who wanted to dismantle the state government, give away tens of millions of dollars in tax breaks to wealthy business owners, and pit one average middle class family [...]

The Post Office and Republican Treachery

September 30th, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Culture, Economics, Human Rights, Lobbying, Politics, Populism

Do you have a utility bill or a credit card bill that’s going to cost you extra if you don’t get it there on time? It costs you that because businesses like utilities and financial institutions make part of their income by doing things on time. You are asked, even warned, to make your payment [...]

Why Bachmann Is More Dangerous than Al Qaeda or the Taliban

August 17th, 2011 · Comments Off · Culture, Politics, Populism

What is it about current Republican Presidential candidates? Can’t they find another Reagan? Maybe something simple like an actor is not a bad idea. What about Bruce Willis? How about Jon Voight? Why do we need kooks whom no one but the craziest of the crazies will vote for? An actor would be a suitable, [...]

Imported Americans — Part Two

February 17th, 2011 · Comments Off · Culture, Health Care, Human Rights, Politics, Populism

The turn of the century saw the African American as largely uneducated, not owning the place he lived, without education, working as a sharecropper or on a tenant farm or in some menial job. While the second half of the 20th Century would see major improvements in voting rights, job opportunities, social services and particularly [...]

Imported Americans — Part I

February 15th, 2011 · Comments Off · Culture, Health Care, Human Rights, Politics

We don’t talk much about our Imported Americans. Yes, they have been here almost as long as our Native Americans. They hold an equally sainted place in our memory, the long suffering, the noble, the faithful, the underpaid, abused and isolated. The genuine smile, the graceful politeness, the relaxed demeanor, tipping their hats to women…all [...]

Fair and Unbalanced

February 3rd, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Culture, Politics

People want us to be fair and impartial. Not seeing conspiracies behind every voting booth. So perhaps we can attempt to be fair and yet firm. That’s what we’ll be from now on. We’ll let the videos show you how preposterous are some of the statements by the talking heads. If you are perceptive, as [...]

Glenn Beck: Clown Prince of Propaganda

October 2nd, 2010 · 3 Comments · Corporations and Industry, Culture, Media, Politics

There is always a question whether or not to give any kind of attention to the show-off–the kid who acts out in class because he doesn’t get enough attention at home. The kid whom everyone shuns either withdraws into his shell or becomes the one who disrupts things for others. Not necessarily the funny kid, [...]

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier….Muslim?

September 28th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Culture, International affairs, Politics, Populism, wars and militarism

Are American Muslims here only to spy on us? Are they inherently evil? Are they keeping deep dark secrets hidden in the bowels of the Mosques? The answer is….. Wait. Are we talking about the Muslims or the Catholics? A few years ago it was the secret papal rituals of the Catholics and their Agnus [...]
