For years, even decades, the health insurance industry has run medicine in this country. Health insurance is basically when a corporation gets between you and your doctor and tells your doctor if he can perform a procedure to improve your health or in some cases save your life. You pay for health insurance but you [...]

The Predictable Attacks on Obamacare from the Neo-Fascists.
July 17th, 2012 · Comments Off · Health Care, Politics, Populism
The Republicans are fighting as hard as they can to keep all American citizens from having affordable universal, guaranteed rights to purchase affordable health care insurance. In one simple paragraph we can answer most of the objections to the Affordable Care Act. Here it is in summary. The ACA is not a government takeover of [...]

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 [...]

Obamacare: Attacks and a Bright Future
April 15th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Health Care, Politics, Populism
There is no dearth of those on the media horizon ready to attack the Affordable Care Act. It all stems from one thing…the desire of the health insurance companies and all the related services who have been raping American families for decades to continue their luxurious lifestyles. You can throw about 90% of everything you [...]

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 High Cost of Neo-Fascism
February 15th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Democracy, Health Care, Human Rights, Labor, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes, The Budget
At the very outset, let’s restate our definition of Neo-Fascism. Even if you do not agree with our definition of the current Republican Party being Neo-Fascist, you will at least know why we make that contention. Remember, Populism is the opposite of Fascism. Populism is a political theory that says that everything starts with the [...]

Here Comes the Election Year Propaganda
January 27th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Economics, Health Care, jobs, Labor, Politics, Populism, taxes
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 [...]

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 [...]

“Red Tape” Is a Republican Red Herring.
September 20th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Economics, Health Care, Politics, Populism, Wall Street
———————————————————————————————— 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 [...]

Who Is Scaring All Those Seniors…and Why?

“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 [...]

Michele Bachmann and Lies About Health Care Reform
April 1st, 2011 · 1 Comment · Health Care, Lobbying, Politics
The Republicans said that they wanted to repeal the health care reform bill. Then they said that they wanted to de-fund it. In other words, if we can’t remove it altogether, they said, we will simply not let anyone participate in any kind of better health. Why would a United States Congressman or Congresswoman want [...]

Americans Do Want Health Care Reform.
February 6th, 2011 · Comments Off · Health Care, Politics
Here’s the problem with the Neocon Republicans’ argument about health care. The fact is that their argument is simply a lie. It’s a big lie, but it’s a simple lie. The lie is this: health care reform is bad for America. It isn’t. It is good, very good, for most Americans. Here are the ones [...]

Neocons to Middle Class: Forget Health Care Reform. Buy or Die!
January 6th, 2011 · Comments Off · Health Care, Politics
The Neocons have begun their full-scale assault on the middle and lower classes of the American People. It began January 6, 2011, with the initial hearings on the already announced legislative proposal to repeal health care reform. Despite the fact that 7 out of 10 Americans do not want health care reform repealed, the Republicans [...]

Why Republicans Want Repeal of Health Care Reform
November 4th, 2010 · Comments Off · Health Care, Media, Politics
This recent election was not about Americans’ understanding of recent legislation. It was about their misunderstanding of recent legislation. That may be deliberate. We know that Glenn Beck has a million or so listeners and viewers. Rush Limbaugh supposedly has more than ten million listeners a day. That is largely because for many years…perhaps still…his [...]
