The United States has been in decline since 1981. That was when Ronald Reagan’s charismatic personality took over the country. Reagan was the all-time, All-American, schoolboy President. The gosh-golly-gee whiz President came to power overwhelmed by the more sophisticated long-range plans of the Corporatists. They saw his gullibility and his charm as an opening to [...]

The Failure of Conservative Economics–Pt. IV–Bush, Cheney and Big Government by Debt
February 25th, 2013 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Democracy, Economics, jobs, Lobbying, Media, obstruction, Politics, Populism, taxes, Wall Street
In 1994, in an interview, Milton Friedman said that in the 1990s there is “much less optimism and all the problems have been produced by government.” This is the essential argument between the two political parties in the United States today. One pretends to be the party of Conservatives, whom they define as people like [...]

How Conservatism Becomes Fascism
June 23rd, 2012 · 2 Comments · ALEC, Democracy, Fascism, Human Rights, jobs, Lobbying, Media, Politics, Populism, taxes
In 1946, in one of the great cosmopolitan cities of Europe, ancient and yet contemporary, with a tradition of culture, music, popular culture and modern art, an old woman, dressed in a ragged coat, with an old woolen bandana wrapped around her head dragged a small cart down the street. The formerly popular neighborhood was [...]

Carolina on My Mind
April 22nd, 2012 · Comments Off · Human Rights, Media, Politics, Populism, Social Security
In 2010, over 60 seats changed in the U.S. House of Representatives. The South didn’t change that much because the South was already pretty much in the hands of the Republican Party. And when we say the Republican Party, remember that this is not Eisenhower’s Republican Party, the hero of World War II, the Augusta [...]

The Salesman of Hate
March 19th, 2012 · Comments Off · Media, Politics, Populism
In 2003, a scumbag by the name of Mark Levin was encouraged by two other scumbags, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, both of whom made tens of millions of dollars by trashing the government, the Middle Class and the poor and supporting the military-industrial complex, even though they never have, and never would, see the [...]

The Son-in-law Senator from Wisconsin
February 23rd, 2012 · 1 Comment · Capitalism, Economics, Media, Politics, Populism, taxes, The Budget
The nice thing about “stupid” is that you don’t have to make anything up or manipulate anything or try to exaggerate anything…stupid is as stupid does. Rarely, however, do public men who are so stupid that you wonder how they can tie their shoes allow their stupidity to show up in the clear, bright glare [...]

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 [...]

The Palin Ascendency
July 18th, 2011 · Comments Off · Lobbying, Media, Politics, wars and militarism
When Sarah Palin was selected as the Vice Presidential candidate in 2008 to run with John McCain, she seemed a nice, relatively simple woman with a family and at least the minimal amount of intelligence necessary to run a small community–not an insignificant thing. She had been mayor of a small community, Wasilla, Alaska. She [...]

What’s Wrong with America, Part III – Jobs and Infrastructure
December 30th, 2010 · Comments Off · Lobbying, Media, Politics
It isn’t rocket science, although this country is pretty good at that, but it is quite easily achievable. We can restore the great American Middle Class. What is wrong with America can be made right. Some things are missing that can be restored. First, jobs, and they will come from stimulating the economy and at [...]

Sean and the Great Republican Propaganda Machine
November 18th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, Economics, Media, Politics, taxes
Today, we hear from a paid Republican blogger who comments on Dr. Paul Krugman’s blog: “Conscience of a Liberal.” This clown is one of several obviously paid bloggers who seem to be on the blog almost daily spouting ridiculous comments, distracting references, insults, pathetic attempts at ridicule—and in all cases comments intending merely to disrupt [...]

The 500 Reactionary Rich
November 16th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Economics, Health Care, Lobbying, Media, Politics, taxes
We have a serious problem in this country. It is not hard to recognize or to understand. It is simple and it is ruining America. It could be solved with swift, violent action but, as we are a civilized society, we need to look to more civilized measures. Here is the problem. A handful…about 500 [...]

Understanding Political Reality
November 13th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Corporations and Industry, Health Care, Lobbying, Media, Politics
Life is not a game show. The realities of electing the moronic, semi-troglodytic President’s son as President…or having the Supreme-Court-justice son of a rumored Fascist appoint him…should have proved that. From $5 trillion in debt and a balanced budget to a $14 trillion in debt and a commission trying to figure out how to keep [...]

Republicans Plan Tax Cuts for Billionaires.
November 10th, 2010 · Comments Off · Media, Politics
Rule number one—always remember that the current Republican Party is out to get you unless you are a multi-millionaire and a donor to the Republican Party. Republicans at the top are all millionaires, like Dick Cheney who left government only for a few years to clean up as President of Halliburton by using his Defense [...]

Propaganda, Elections, Taxes, and Losing America
November 6th, 2010 · Comments Off · Lobbying, Media, Politics
In a bold statement, Senator Mitch McConnell must have encountered a “senior moment” because he momentarily lost his talking points. He actually had the nerve to tell the truth before the video tape could be doctored, snipped or hidden. He told the American People the objective of the Republican Congress. He said that the Republicans [...]

Republican Crimes Against the People
July 27th, 2012 · Comments Off · Democracy, Fascism, Media, obstruction, Politics, Populism, taxes
The country is divided. North, South, East, West…we argue about everything. And why? Because we now have a system that allows organizations, newscasters, politicians, even ministers to lie in public and get away with it. That results in large moneyed interests using politicians and anyone whose loyalty they can buy for a few pieces of [...]
