This is about our country.We have been through the Second Age of the Moguls and it was worse than the first, if that is possible. In those days, there were no regulations, less than ten percent income tax, often as not ignored, and a country just beginning to feel the environmental weight of massive forests [...]

Here’s How Right Wing Obstruction Affects You Personally.
June 10th, 2010 · No Comments · Corporations and Industry, Economics, Health Care, Lobbying, Politics, Wall Street, energy, jobs, taxes
Life is not a newsreel, someone once said. It is not a sound bite. It is not the mere reporting of Republican Reich Wing obstruction.
It is real life–life and death, injury and loss, jobs and unemployment, homes and homelessness, wealth and poverty.
There are 290 bills passed by the House of Representatives pending in [...]

Debts, Lies and Obstructionism
May 12th, 2010 · No Comments · Corporations and Industry, Politics, energy
No mistake about it. We are in crisis mode. No matter what the stock market or the boys knocking down millions on Wall Street say…we are in an economic crisis. And we are in a political crisis.
We have trillions of debt that we need to pay off. We owe about $12.8 trillion of which about [...]

Make No Mistake About It–Neocon Republicans Are Holding up Financial Reform.
May 4th, 2010 · No Comments · Corporations and Industry, Lobbying, Politics, Wall Street
The Neoconservative Republican Party is holding up the financial reform bill. It is even holding up amendments by Republican Senators, the same Senators who are holding up the Senate from voting on their amendments.
Like Senator Olympia Snowe, the apparently super-duper-hypocritical Senator from Maine. She says she wants to protect her constituents from the evils [...]

Tea Bags and Right Wing Liars
April 14th, 2010 · No Comments · Culture, Politics
Who are these nuts in the tea party rallies?
We’re talking about the people carrying the offensive signs, making obscene comments and creating altered images of elected officials. Remember, elected officials are those courageous individuals who legitimately go out to the people, tell them their plans for society, ask for help from their fellow [...]

Health Care Reform or Obstruction. Whom Should You Trust?
March 18th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Health Care, Politics
On the question of health care, in the absence of actually looking it up yourself, it all comes down to: whom do you believe?
Do you believe the Democrats who have created the health care plan? One could assume that they created it as something for which they will be praised. They certainly realize that [...]

Republicans Panic, Call Voters: Be Afraid of Health Care Reform!
March 16th, 2010 · No Comments · Health Care, Politics
“Hello, this is Congresswoman Judy Biggert. I’m calling to warn you about Medicare…”
How lucky am I? My Congresswoman, Judy Biggert was taking the time to call me personally about the dangers of Medicare. She called poor-little-old-me to ask if I wanted to join in on a conference call about health care reform.
She is [...]

Why Neoconservatives Vote Against Jobs.
February 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Politics, jobs
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 [...]

Profiles in Obstruction # 1: Senator James DeMint
January 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Health Care, Politics, jobs, wars and militarism
It is too easy to simply make fun of or ridicule James DeMint. And of course many would say: who are any of us mere mortals to criticize men or women who have become Senators? These are supposedly successful people in their own right, business people or former Congress persons who have demonstrated to their [...]
