Grover Norquist is without question the kind of nerd that most working-class Democrats and Liberals like to attack. He comes from an affluent Republican family, grew up in the household of a corporate executive for Polaroid corporation, and has Harvard and Harvard Business School certifications indicating that he completed both required courses of study. He [...]

Tea Party Republicans and American Hatred

So now…the debt limit is raised and everyone is happy. We have cuts in government spending, But what else happened? Nothing. That is what the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party has been sent to Washington to do. Nothing. Or things we would call negative. In other words, cut Social Security. Cut Medicare and [...]

Nazi Is Not Always a Bad Word.
March 28th, 2011 · Comments Off · Politics, wars and militarism
Not if it is used as a warning. Not if it describes a group out to get you. Not if it is the truth. When would we call someone a Nazi? Well, it is done all the time by those who don’t really mean it and have no basis for saying it. But when it [...]

There Are No Populist Republicans…None.

If you have the misfortune to be out of work or retired or simply tuning in your television to get the NCAA brackets and happen to pass “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, you may see the “Joe” for whom the program…of dubious value to anyone…is named. You may also see Patrick Buchanan. Now, the “Joe” is [...]

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 Grand Illusion, Part II
September 1st, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Lobbying, Media, Politics, taxes
Part II — Who is telling all those lies…and why? They met on the mall in Washington, that renowned place for great assemblies. They were baby-boomers and beyond and overwhelmingly white. (Maybe when you call a Liberal African-American President, raised by white grandparents a ‘racist” as Glenn Beck did, you may turn away people of [...]

The Grand Illusion
August 30th, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Culture, Lobbying, Media, Politics
Part I – Looming disaster and how we got here The Tea Party Movement is neither a movement nor has it anything to do with the traditions of freedom represented by the American Revolution. It is in fact, ironically, about the impulse of an uneducated and badly led society to permit the restriction of its [...]

Open Letter to Tea Party: Take a Hard Left Turn

Before anyone who is a true Populist is going to believe that you, the Tea Party members are remotely legitimate and not simply stooges for the Right Wing of the Republican Party, you need to get some common sense. If you want to parade around pretending to be lovers of freedom and democracy, you need [...]

Sarah in Wonderland with the Mad Hatter
May 25th, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Media, Politics
They’re called Neoconservatives. Some of them on the far Right are called tea baggers or members of the “Tea Party.” Before we get started, let’s remember what the Tea Party is. This is a group of Mad Hatters, wildly scampering about the landscape of the country, willy-nilly, without a clue as to what is really [...]

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 [...]

The Communist Fallacy

You might want to take everything you know about our country and have a second look. We all used to participate in the defense of our country. Now we have young people, mostly poor, trying to get ahead, who risk their lives for a college education while others, not risking their lives, go to college [...]
