There is a strong game plan abroad in the land to bust unions. Most unions these days are for government workers. So the new Neocon Republican governors are out to break those unions, in Ohio, and New Jersey and Florida, and most prominently in Wisconsin. Governor Scott Walker the Governor of Wisconsin only since November [...]

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 [...]

Telling Lies on Sunday
January 3rd, 2011 · Comments Off · jobs, Politics
Is it more of a sin to tell a lie on Sunday, the “Lord’s Day” than on any other day? Apparently not for Congress. They seem to have gone completely off the rails. They apparently think that “God,” that ephemeral entity that laid down rules thousands of years ago but who allowed humans to handle [...]

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 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 [...]

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 [...]

A Proven 80-year-old Plan for Recovery
September 5th, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Economics, Labor, Media, Politics, Wall Street
The American People, according to polls, have now floundered their way into a strong majority willing to literally destroy their lives and those of their children. The latest polls show many Right Wing Republicans ahead in the polls. This is beyond stupidity. If the Republicans were advocating a return to moderation, one might think that, [...]

The Grand Illusion
August 30th, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Culture, Lobbying, Media, Politics
Part I – Looming disaster and how we got here The Tea Party Movement is neither a movement nor has it anything to do with the traditions of freedom represented by the American Revolution. It is in fact, ironically, about the impulse of an uneducated and badly led society to permit the restriction of its [...]

Ric Scott Strikes Again.
August 26th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Culture, Health Care, Politics
Ric Scott is the Republican nominee for Governor of the state of Florida. We have had times in this country when governors of states were some of the most reprehensible people one could imagine. We have had people like Orville Faubus of Arkansas who said that black children would go to school with white children [...]

How to Fix Social Security and Balance the Budget
August 12th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Economics, Politics, Populism
Michael Hiltzik’s August 6 column in the LA TIMES was pretty thought-provoking on the current Social Security dialogue. And it leads to some rather interesting points that should be raised about Social Security solvency, Medicare, Medicaid, and the future of entitlement programs. It also brings up some questions on taxes. We will show exactly how [...]

Neocons and Neo-Fascists in the Global Village
July 28th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Corporations and Industry, Culture, International affairs, Lobbying, Politics, Populism, Wall Street, wars and militarism
What is America? Is it merely a flag? Is it an armed force, with tanks and guns and planes? After all, that’s what many people see in villages around the world. That’s what simple groups of small villagers saw in Iraq…people with no television, no media elite, no sophisticated intellectual government in their region to [...]

Neoconservatives Versus Americans
July 15th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Corporations and Industry, Economics, Politics, taxes
When someone attacks your arguments or comments on your lifestyle, that may be a source of irritation or possibly even anxiety. But when people try to take away your home, or your food or your health…that is no longer argumentation on principles. That is physical aggression. That is an attack on your very well being. [...]

Sinister Economics
July 13th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, Economics, Lobbying, Politics, Populism, Wall Street
Let’s understand one thing. The economic problems of the country were not caused by “Progressive” or “Liberal” or “Populist” policies. They were caused in the last 30 years and they were caused by an ideology that did not embrace rational thought, either in economics or in politics or in human relationships. It can only be [...]

Impeach Justice Thomas.
July 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Courts and the Law, Lobbying, Politics
Quote from a Right Wing blog on the Internet concerning the activities of Supreme Court Justice Thomas’ wife in creating a new Right-Wing group and the reaction of Democrats. “Real predictable, these libtards. Put Clarence Thomas/Tea Parties/White Woman together and they’ll be foaming at the mouth in no time flat.” The Right Wing moron in [...]
