In 1946, in one of the great cosmopolitan cities of Europe, ancient and yet contemporary, with a tradition of culture, music, popular culture and modern art, an old woman, dressed in a ragged coat, with an old woolen bandana wrapped around her head dragged a small cart down the street. The formerly popular neighborhood was [...]

What Would Romney Do?
May 26th, 2012 · Comments Off · Democracy, Fascism, Politics, Populism, Social Security
Willard Mitt Romney is virtually assured the candidacy of the Republican Party. He is already campaigning as if he were. And he has grabbed on to the Republican message, the Ultra Right Wing new message of the Republican Party with a vengeance. His message is clear. His message is that he will handle the American [...]

ALEC and the Corporate Takeover of America
May 14th, 2012 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, Fascism, Lobbying, Politics, Populism
Our government at local, state and national levels is being confiscated by huge corporations. It is happening every day in state legislatures all over the country. Our major corporations belong to a Right Wing organization called the American Legislative Exchange Council, more commonly known as ALEC. Their job is to advance their goals at 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Palin, O’Donnell and the Consequences of Ignorance
October 4th, 2010 · Comments Off · Politics
Sarah Palin, despite all her ramblings and her massive intellectual bloc against common sense, seems like a nice lady. She is attractive and has an appeal to some housewives that is undeniable. Her husband, despite some accusations that he belonged to a Party that wanted Alaska to secede from the Union, seems like a nice [...]

Tea Bags and Right Wing Liars
April 14th, 2010 · Comments Off · 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 citizens [...]

More Idiotic Propaganda From the GOP Lunatic Fringe
March 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Health Care, Media, Politics
The Republicans have lost the battle against health care for their supporters in the health insurance industry. With no more stalling options, they are trying to use propaganda to scare and distract Americans about the federal government. Most of it is just gibberish. Be assured of one thing. We are in no danger of becoming [...]

Torts, Filibusters, Health Care Reform and Disastrous Supreme Court Decisions
March 1st, 2010 · Comments Off · Courts and the Law, Health Care, Politics
We are now well into this session of Congress. The Senate has already begun a pace of filibusters that will exceed that of the last session, which was already double the highest number ever. It is very clear. The Neoconservatives are committed not to the constituents who elected them but to large industrial corporations, or [...]

We Can’t All “Just Get Along.” Here’s Why.
February 4th, 2010 · Comments Off · Media, Politics
Our political system is broken. It didn’t happen accidentally. It was deliberate and it has been happening for a long time, gradually, methodically. Corporations have taken all their chips and gone all-in with the Neoconservative Republicans. And the Neocons are now 100% for corporations. They are the arm of corporations in Congress. Take the Republican [...]

David Brooks and Neocon Advice to the Elderly
February 3rd, 2010 · Comments Off · Culture, Economics, General, Politics
“There you go again…” as a famous “B” movie actor once memorably said…memorable because he happened to be President at the time. Oh yes, we really did have an actor as President. But he was also a union president at one time. Granted, it was a union of actors, but he was elected. One of [...]
