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 [...]

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 [...]

Returning the Great American Middle Class
October 21st, 2011 · Comments Off · Politics, Populism
This is about returning government to the People. This is about returning the Middle Class to America. If you read this and you are not a Republican, you will understand it immediately. When you do, you should send it to everyone you know and tell them to send it to everyone they know. Now they [...]

Republicans Are Corporatists–Not Populists!
March 17th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Corporations and Industry, Labor, Lobbying, Politics, Populism
One of the numerous Right Wing propaganda posts is called the “Patriot Post” by someone or some people who use the pseudonym “Sartre.” That in itself is hilarious. That could be an entire stand-up comedy routine. Nevertheless, “Sartre” writes a page or so about what he or they know of Populism. It is actually about [...]

Time for New Democratic Leadership
December 7th, 2010 · Comments Off · Politics
Someone said recently that his mother, would turn over in her grave. The intelligent and earthy mother of three boys and sister of five outstanding athletes was also tough. She would, he said, never, ever understand turning away from the first African-American President after the hope and dream of electing one–and a man of such [...]

The Danger of Armed Insurrection in America Today
October 21st, 2010 · Comments Off · Politics, wars and militarism
We go to work in unnerving heavy traffic, fighting to get there on time so that we won’t be one of those who is on the list for the next layoff. We come home to find out that the neighbor down the street who lost his job 9 months ago and never found another has [...]

Expansion, Not Austerity

We now have a Presidential Commission to make recommendations about the Reagan-Bush-Bush $13 trillion deficit that was created by cutting revenues in half with tax cuts for the rich, while continuing Republican spending and starting two wars. Of course, it is an absurd idea that we must all gather in hushed tones around former Reagan-Republican [...]

Raise Taxes or Cut Entitlements–You Decide.
July 2nd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Capitalism, Economics, jobs, Politics, taxes
You should see one particular chart from the Congressional budget office. Here’s what it says: The lowest two quintiles (lowest 40%) of wage earners averaged $17,400 in 1979. The Top One percent of wage earners averaged $167,500 in 1979. By 2007, the 27th year of the Neoconservative Era, the bottom two quintiles made $20,500. That’s [...]

The Republicans in Congress have their paddles out and are ready, if we let them, to make us walk the line again, while the Neocon frat boys in the Chamber of Commerce, in Congress and on Wall Street deliver a good spanking like the one they handed the country in 2007-2008. Yes, these cartoon characters, [...]

State of the Nation — June 2010

Where are we? We’ve got a bunch of tea party nuts…let’s be frank…running around saying that the country is becoming a fascist sate and another segment of the same nuts or even those same nuts themselves contradicting what they just said by saying we’re becoming Communist or Socialist. It’s difficult even to explain, let alone [...]

The Dangerous Game
May 29th, 2010 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, Culture, Economics, Labor, Media, Politics, Populism, Wall Street, wars and militarism
Anarchy is the absence of government. It could be a placid, pastoral society or it could be the wild, wild West. The fact is, however, that it is dangerous to contemplate anarchy unless you can be certain which it will be. You may call the Soviet Union a state that grew out of a Communist [...]

Wake Up, America!
May 14th, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Lobbying, Media, Politics, Wall Street
When will Americans finally wake up? Corporations have taken over the United States. The Republican Party has become, as Anthony Weiner said, in his complete frustration during the health care debate. “a wholly owned subsidiary of the health insurance business.” Today, May 14, 2010, an oil spill from a company that makes billions of dollars [...]

Corporatism Versus Populism
April 25th, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Culture, Politics, Populism
Populism is about people. The Latin word for “the people” is populus. So a Populist is one who has concern for the People. Historically American Populism has been a political philosophy that had to do with the struggle of the average worker or farmer against those powerful forces in society that had gained control of [...]
