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 Despite the fact that 7 out of 10 Americans do not want health care reform repealed, the Republicans [...]

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 [...]

Disciples of Fear
August 20th, 2010 · Comments Off · Culture, Media, Politics
Beware of the Age of Fear. Not the dark, unreasoning fear, the fear of the unknown, the fear of poverty, destitution and calamitous disaster. No, not that fear. Not even one, all-encompassing fear—not the phobic kind of fear that paralyzes every movement. No…we are not talking about that age-old, traditional fear…the fear of hell fire [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

American Society at a Crossroads. For People or for Corporations?
March 21st, 2010 · Comments Off · Health Care, jobs, Politics
We are facing a serious problem as a society. The problem is whether we will approach our fellow citizens as equals, with equal opportunity for a decent, secure life. Will we also look on our less fortunate fellow Americans and offer them a hand up? Or will we turn inward, striving to maximize our lifestyle [...]

Why Neoconservatives Vote Against Jobs.
February 5th, 2010 · Comments Off · jobs, Politics
It is no secret that the Neoconservative Republicans and their friends on talk radio are against job creation. They voted 100%, every single one, against the Stimulus bill, the $787 billion jobs bill that has already created 2 million jobs. They voted overwhelmingly in late 2008 against even the Bush Administration’s attempt to push funds [...]
