Time Out –A Look at the Republican Non-budget

March 12th, 2013 · Comments Off · ALEC, Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, Economics, Health Care, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes, The Budget

Before we can return to the Failure of Conservative Economics, we must address a current issue on today’s Neo-Conservative agenda…the Paul Ryan Republican Budget for 2013. We need to examine the premises here and debunk the stuff that is simply wrong. Paul Ryan announced the Republican Budget on March 12, 2013 and it fell with [...]

Why We Need Unions

December 19th, 2012 · Comments Off · ALEC, Corporations and Industry, Labor, Lobbying, Politics, Populism

There are a lot of people today who do not understand the history and the purpose of unions. And that is very important. Very important. The reason is as the old saying goes…”Just because I am paranoid does not mean that there are not people out to get me.” And what does that mean? It [...]

Republican Crimes Against the People

July 27th, 2012 · Comments Off · Democracy, Fascism, Media, obstruction, Politics, Populism, taxes

The country is divided. North, South, East, West…we argue about everything. And why? Because we now have a system that allows organizations, newscasters, politicians, even ministers to lie in public and get away with it. That results in large moneyed interests using politicians and anyone whose loyalty they can buy for a few pieces of [...]

How Conservatism Becomes Fascism

June 23rd, 2012 · 2 Comments · ALEC, Democracy, Fascism, Human Rights, jobs, Lobbying, Media, Politics, Populism, taxes

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Salesman of Hate

March 19th, 2012 · Comments Off · Media, Politics, Populism

In 2003, a scumbag by the name of Mark Levin was encouraged by two other scumbags, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, both of whom made tens of millions of dollars by trashing the government, the Middle Class and the poor and supporting the military-industrial complex, even though they never have, and never would, see the [...]

The Son-in-law Senator from Wisconsin

February 23rd, 2012 · 1 Comment · Capitalism, Economics, Media, Politics, Populism, taxes, The Budget

The nice thing about “stupid” is that you don’t have to make anything up or manipulate anything or try to exaggerate anything…stupid is as stupid does. Rarely, however, do public men who are so stupid that you wonder how they can tie their shoes allow their stupidity to show up in the clear, bright glare [...]

The High Cost of Neo-Fascism

February 15th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Democracy, Health Care, Human Rights, Labor, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes, The Budget

At the very outset, let’s restate our definition of Neo-Fascism. Even if you do not agree with our definition of the current Republican Party being Neo-Fascist, you will at least know why we make that contention. Remember, Populism is the opposite of Fascism. Populism is a political theory that says that everything starts with the [...]

The Planned Koch Brothers’ Political Takeover

February 8th, 2012 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Human Rights, Politics, Populism

You must understand one thing. A vote for a Republican is a vote for Neo-Fascist group whose only ultimate political strategy is to put the opposition…who will be in enormous numbers…into concentration camps. Before you scoff and cry conspiracy nut, look at it logically. Citizens United makes it possible…it has already happened…for billionaires to elect [...]

Romney Lies about the President

February 5th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Culture, Health Care, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes, wars and militarism

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 [...]

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 [...]

Fascists Pretending to be Patriots.

August 30th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Capitalism, Health Care, Politics, Populism

When we come across a video like the one below, we must expose it. We do not understand why a former Lt. General in the United States Army would make such a scurrilous video…whether he is a racist, or a Right Winger working for the global corporate interests who want to destroy the American way [...]

The Palin Ascendency

July 18th, 2011 · Comments Off · Lobbying, Media, Politics, wars and militarism

When Sarah Palin was selected as the Vice Presidential candidate in 2008 to run with John McCain, she seemed a nice, relatively simple woman with a family and at least the minimal amount of intelligence necessary to run a small community–not an insignificant thing. She had been mayor of a small community, Wasilla, Alaska. She [...]

The Catastrophic Failure of the American Spirit

May 1st, 2011 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Human Rights, Politics

Today is one of the saddest days in the history of the American Republic. Americans proved that they have failed in maintaining the spirit of communal support that built this country. We have clearly failed when tested. The Rich have taken control, just as Jefferson and Adams and George Washington feared could happen. Democrats in [...]
