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 [...]

Here Comes the Election Year Propaganda

If you think you have been lied to before…you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. It’s an election year and therefore the amount and the degree of inaccuracy of Republican statements will increase, and already have increased, exponentially. Here are just a few examples. Both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have blamed Barack Obama for the lack [...]

The Parable of the Thieves
January 22nd, 2012 · 1 Comment · Health Care, Lobbying, Media, Politics, Populism, taxes, Wall Street
When reason fails, people fall back on superstition. The American society has long operated under the basic principle that hard work creates abundance and abundance may solve all our earthly ills. When that logic, which has always been one of our foundations, along with “fair play” and “brotherhood” among citizens…although a creaky stair-climb with many [...]

Wake Up, Republicans, Before It Is Too Late!

The recent elections have brought some emotional and some real political relief to a beleaguered Middle Class, but we need to point out a few things that MUST happen or our society will literally disintegrate. For so many years now, Republicans have been listening to a siren song of false promises and false accusations that [...]

Who Is Stealing Your Retirement and Why?
October 4th, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Health Care, Labor, Politics, Populism, Wall Street
It’s about time you faced some increasingly obvious facts. Your own corporation is stealing your retirement income. Corporations are freezing defined benefit plans, shutting down others, converting some to defined contribution plans and drastically capping the amount retirees receive in health care benefits. It is happening now under the guise of increased costs, but it [...]

“Red Tape” Is a Republican Red Herring.

———————————————————————————————— From now on, until the elections of 2012, every post will be lead by the following statement: Nothing proposed or examined here will be changed so long as there are Republican majorities in the House of Representatives and less than 60 Democratic Senators in the Senate. The Republicans…Tea Party or otherwise…all work for the [...]

When we come across a video like the one below, we must expose it. We do not understand why a former Lt. General in the United States Army would make such a scurrilous video…whether he is a racist, or a Right Winger working for the global corporate interests who want to destroy the American way [...]

So now…the debt limit is raised and everyone is happy. We have cuts in government spending, But what else happened? Nothing. That is what the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party has been sent to Washington to do. Nothing. Or things we would call negative. In other words, cut Social Security. Cut Medicare and [...]

Only today, only in the most recent polls are we beginning to see the larger group of Americans turning around at some of the comments by the Tea Party and the other Neoconservative Republicans and saying: “What did he say? Did I hear that correctly?” Only now are the vast majority of normal Americans beginning [...]

Overturning the Republican Lie Machine
June 27th, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Health Care, Lobbying, Politics, Populism
The facts about austerity are incontrovertible. There is every good reason to generate more income and not cut entitlement programs. Do NOT let the Right Wing media,which is most television media, persuade you to give in to cutting social services. Ronald Reagan put people onto the streets. There were days in the 1980s that you [...]

The Neocon Republican Candidates—A Rogues Gallery

What a bunch of losers we saw in the first Republican debate. It was shallow, obfuscating and ignored reality. We’ll start off by saying that we can’t even add Herman Cain and Ron Paul to a serious discussion. Cain is a total zero and Paul, as we know from what he has said in the [...]

Well, here we go again, folks. More non-stop lies about the future of health care reform legislation. There is no question that our “friends” in the health insurance industry are in a panic. They know that they must fight health care reform tooth and nail or they will end up losing their multi-million dollar bonuses [...]

There were people who thought Paul Ryan was a genius. Then Democrats and Independents and Seniors began to analyze his plan. He quickly became a dunce. The Republicans had no other budget plan. So they voted on it. They passed it in the House. The Democrats, who could not believe their good fortune, quickly pounced [...]

“It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood…a beautiful day for a neighbor..would you be mine…could you be mine….” Oh, yeah. Mister Rogers had nothing on the way the political parties are trying to attract Independent voters and Senior citizens. But the fact is that there is a significant difference. It is a difference that is [...]
