There is a point beyond which credulity will not go. You can lie to some of the people, as Lincoln said, all of the time, or all of the people some of the time. But over a longer period, people will discover the truth. As an aside, this is what happened in 2010. The people [...]

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 [...]

Lies My Republican Candidates Told Me.
October 28th, 2011 · Comments Off · Culture, Politics, Populism, The Budget, Wall Street
The Republican candidates are out on the Old Washington Trail. It leads from Iowa to New Hampshire to the Carolinas, with stops in Nevada and other similarly insignificant places along the way. The costumes are atrocious, the tricks are many and the treats are, well, few and far between. But the missatements of fact…well…they are [...]

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 [...]

Jobs and the Current American Economic Disaster
October 13th, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, jobs, Politics, Populism, Wall Street
Since the Fall of 2008, the U.S. economy a dynamic enterprise of about $15 trillion dollars, as measured in employment, has fallen by about 8 million people. There were already about 7 million people unemployed, or 7% by the end of 2007, a roller coaster ride up and down after the Clinton Administration when unemployment [...]

Unless You Are a Millionaire–or a Bigot–You Should Not Vote Republican.
October 10th, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Politics, Populism
It is time that we all faced facts, looked at ourselves in the mirror and asked ourselves who we are. If you are part of a group that makes racial slurs and condones the bigoted signs of demonstrators or laughs at the racist jokes of radio commentators, or applauds the disrespect for the Presidency of [...]

Fascist Republicans Stealing Votes
September 12th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Politics, Populism
What is the essential element in a free society? It is the independent, uninfluenced, unimpeded opportunity to vote for the candidate of your choice. You may be influenced by media or by an organization or by friends or a political party to vote a certain way. But if the candidate turns out to be a [...]

Capitalism Versus Patriotism
July 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment · Capitalism, Politics, Populism, taxes, The Budget
American workers have been kicked around by industry for about 30 solid years now. Unions have been crushed, jobs sent to India and China despite the fact that American workers are more educated, have moved to find jobs as often as possible. In the meantime, health insurance companies have left 47 million mostly middle and [...]

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 [...]

The Danger of Armed Insurrection in America Today

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Disturbing Nonsense of the Powerful Right Wing Media
June 28th, 2010 · Comments Off · Entertainment, Media, Politics
The Right Wing media has an overwhelming advantage over the commentary that comes from the Left. First of all, 90% of all radio programming that involves commentary is Right Wing commentary. That is, factually, 91% of all radio talk programming or commentary is identified as conservative talk radio. They don’t try to hide that they [...]

Truth and Freedom of the Press
May 21st, 2010 · Comments Off · Culture, Media, Politics
It might surprise some people to learn that according to an organization called Reporters without Borders, a group that monitors freedom of the press across all nations, the United States ranks 20th in freedom of the press, behind Denmark, Sweden, and others. But you run out of the very liberal Scandinavian countries after five, so [...]
