I have 6 fans: Become a Fan. You'll get emails whenever I post articles on OpEdNews
Leaving behind a treacherous government now addicted to perpetual war, its limitlessly greedy and power-lusting masters, as well as the retarded albeit smirky Republicans and their evermore clonish Democrat colleagues, a braindead electorate incapable of recognizing its own best interests, the hypocritical Christians who '"support our troops," and the tiresome, sloganeering and feckless activist-hobbyists, as well as those who profit from their plastic morality -- I now repair to my Jungle Home amidst the giant palmettos on a dirt road running east from the Gulf coast that neither the US Mail nor school buses dare assay, and there to gain the more decent and trustworthy company of the indigenous sand tortoises and rattlesnakes.
Thursday, March 29, 2012 Why the U.S. Postal Service will Fall (1 comments)
USPS blindly and suicidally flies in the face of the real American Way, and -- as is the case with a decent single-payer medical program vs the combined forces of the AMA and the Insurance cartel -- is bound for public execution.
Sunday, January 1, 2012 Enough Feckless Nattering -- Obama IS Our Next President (1 comments)
What with the chronic partisan Democrats, both obtuse and aware, and the "lesser-evil" masochistically persuaded, along with voters seeking some degree of sanity fleeing from the Republican nominative buffoonery, Obama is in.
Saturday, December 24, 2011 Relief for New Orleans -- Benevolent Military Occupation
Finally a decent and intelligent solution is offered for the rampaging crime afflicting the poor blacks of New Orleans: Send in the troops! Occupy them for their own benefit!
Saturday, December 17, 2011 Pathetic Partisan Persuasion and Other Stupid Stuff
American voters in the main cast for more-or-less their partisan persuasion, that is Democrat or Republican. But still quite a few offended by both will insist to vote for their choice of the "lesser-evil" major candidate. We must do better than this.
Monday, December 5, 2011 America's Bipartisan Disaster and the Opportunity for Correction
The Republican presidential candidates are doing well at trashing each others candidacy, which would be a good thing for America if it did not favor the same ilk in Democrat-sheep's clothing.
Sunday, November 27, 2011 Military to Police American Civilians!? (1 comments)
The ACLU has advised that this week: "The Senate will be voting on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and other civilians far from any battlefield -- even people in the United States itself."
Wednesday, October 26, 2011 Obama's Iraq Duplicity
Obama said of Iraq, that it's over. Yogi Berra said of everything, that "It ain't over till it's over." Which do you believe?
Friday, October 21, 2011 An Alternative To The One-Puppeteer System
America has been going down the track of indecent governance and treacherous war for too many years, under either or both of the two major partisan persuasions. It's high time for us good people to change the engineers.
Monday, October 17, 2011 Facts or Fiction on the Wall Street Occupation (4 comments)
With all my respect and profound appreciation for the authentic Occupy Wall Street people, there is evidence that some others would exploit this initiative for perverted interests of their own. It is important that the authentic allies of this movement share the truth with each other that is not available in the captive media.
Sunday, October 16, 2011 At Least PRIMARY the Imposter of Hope, Change and Integrity (3 comments)
We were promised HOPE and CHANGE. Well we're still hoping, but that's not going to turn the ongoing tide that's drowning "the 99 percent." It's high time for Democrats to step up to their ideals, and at the very least to PRIMARY the imposter of those ideals.
Tuesday, October 4, 2011 Not a Two-Party System, but One Two-Headed Monster (2 comments)
Over the last 31 years, the differences between Democrats and Republicans -- not so much in their words but certainly in their actions -- have just about disappeared, leaving us with an administration, under either party label, indentured to greed interests at the expense of the vast majority of the citizens.
Wednesday, September 28, 2011 Desperation for Decent Leadership (1 comments)
Honest folks know things have not gone well for working or would-be working people for too long. It's high time we looked into America's mirror of truth, appraised our sad leadership for what it is, and rejected the temptation to once again be persuaded by the "lesser-evil" choice.
Monday, September 19, 2011 Republican-Democrat Inc. vs the People (13 comments)
Obama promised "Change!" We got it, the change that is, while Greed Inc. got the bailout dollars, Weapons Inc. got the profits, and the Republicans neutered the Democrats. In fourteen months we'll get another chance. We "ordinary" people need to see where we've gone wrong, then make a better choice for our own best interests, a choice other than the false promises of Mr. Hope and Change.
Friday, August 26, 2011 Going to the October Event in the District of Corruption? (7 comments)
The word is out on the big protest against everlasting war and indecent governance in D.C. in October. An impressive number of activist luminaries are committed. But he nagging question remains: Will this make any substantial difference in the treacherous course our government is set upon, or will this be -- however noble and moral -- just another message to find its way into the Capitol's refuse bin?
Friday, August 19, 2011 US vs S&P: It's About Time, But... (1 comments)
The Justice Department is investigating whether the nation's largest credit ratings agency, Standard & Poor's, improperly rated dozens of mortgage securities in the years leading up to the financial crisis. Why has this taken so long? What happens next?
Monday, August 15, 2011 Any Decent Dem Candidates Available for 2012? (5 comments)
With it all -- now get a grip -- there are some few decent Democrat candidates, actually intelligent too, and who possess the courage of their convictions.
Friday, August 12, 2011 Republican Cover Girl
Newsweek magazine caught a lot of flak from Republicans who claimed that its recent cover featuring Michelle Bachmann's face "made her look crazy." Are they saying the camera lies?
Thursday, August 11, 2011 Pathetic Presidential Platitudes Prompt Primary (2 comments)
In such times as these, the call for a president's compelling example of courage, integrity and leadership is essential. We aren't getting it.
Tuesday, August 9, 2011 America's Death Spiral (1 comments)
It started thirty years ago under a Republican president with little more than attitude and platitudes between his eyebrows and his pompadour, a posturing class "B" actor somehow engineered into the most powerful position in the world, served by an obeisant electorate who should have known better but performed to the ringmaster's cue. And over the next thirty years the house that Roosevelt built comes a-tumblin' down.
Saturday, August 6, 2011 In Praise of Anger (2 comments)
The lamentable common cop-out is that anger accomplishes nothing. This of course is beyond nonsense -- it is pandering to plastic morality in its most obeisant and moronic form. Anger is not only beneficial to worthy causes but the necessary stimulus to correction of institutionalized abuse.
Monday, August 1, 2011 The Lesser-Evil Choice Invites Self-Defeat
Isn't lesser-evil a sucker's ploy? Rather than to cop-out, why not stand up for something actually good, something that reflects our values? We have them, values that is, don't we?
Thursday, March 3, 2011 Indignity Testing
The news headline read: "Passengers Searched After Exiting Train." The public's reaction to this ranged from "Oh. well" to "What possible purpose could that serve?" But indeed, intrusive searching of citizens AFTER they get OFF a train DOES have a purpose.
Thursday, February 17, 2011 America's Enemies in America
Who are the enemies of Peace, the American People and Humanity? Pogo knew: "We have met the enemy and he is us."
Sunday, January 23, 2011 Bipartisan Disaster Pending
There is a now faint Voice escaping from the narrowing crack between the blatherings of America's two major political representations, a whispering that America is headed for a nightmare of profound proportions.
Thursday, January 20, 2011 Be Afraid
What's it to be in the face of the next inevitable treacherous initiative of the war masters? Again to join in lustily to "Support Our Troops," or to rise in sufficiently large numbers and stubborn resolve to prevent the carnage otherwise to follow. Would even having the good sense simply to be afraid in fact help us to band together in common cause in sufficient numbers to muster the determination to put down the treachery?
Friday, January 14, 2011 That Hopey-Changey Thing
Despite criticism to the contrary, Obama did not campaign on a platform of "Hope and Change." It seems that we heard what we wanted to hear, and stumbled on that little old middle word: "AND." What he actually said was: "Hope FOR change". And, hey, now that we finally got the message, we're really hoping as hard as we can.
Tuesday, December 7, 2010 Wake Up, America! Get Straight! And Let Us Know!
It is high time to open our eyes and ears to the propaganda of both major political parties, to stop the lies, the wars and dominance of the greed interests, to get beyond the "lesser-evil choice," and to move on to a government that truly represents the best interests of the American people and human decency.
Tuesday, September 7, 2010 Dems and Repubs Steering Us toward Disaster?
There is a Voice ascending in the crack between the blatherings of the two major political persuasions, a voice that says America is headed for a nightmare of disastrous proportions.
