How to Celebrate Constitution Day Today, September 17 is Constitution Day, but very, very few Americans know this or will celebrate it. If you think of yourself as a politically engaged, civic-minded and patriotic American, then I urge you to celebrate today by expanding your mind about a critically important but never-used part of our Constitution.

Can 2.5 Million People Be Wrong? All kinds of liberals, Democrats, progressives and independents will slide willingly right down the delusion-tube thinking that they have discovered the Truth in Obama. I say: never have so many deluded themselves about so much so quickly based on nothing more than a whole lot of slick, smiling rhetoric. Making all this so easy is that McCain hardly looks honest, smart or competent; here comes lesser-evil voting to the rescue

Deception and Delusion: Dummies for Democracy Democracy for dummies is what we have and what the majority deserve. For the rest of us the difficult challenge is to find ways to fight the political system that are not marginalized and only satisfy our egos. As long as you are an enthusiastic supporter of any Democrat or Republican you are a willing participant in our fake democracy.

Unintelligence in Federal Intelligence Agencies About $3 billion annually is being provided to private contractor businesses that could be avoided by hiring government employees. This is incredible Bush administration fiscal insanity. Republicans used to focus on shrinking the federal government and its spending. But then it shifted because they saw how increased federal spending could be used to increase revenues to the corporate sector.

Sometimes A Great Notion: With Palin McCain Ups Chances of Beating Obama Though I could never vote for McCain, I applaud his choice of Sarah Palin as his vice president nominee. In many ways this choice was far more impressive than Obama's selection of Joe Biden. the selection of Biden was a betrayal to some very important positions and claims of Obama. In contrast, except for one relatively minor position, the selection of Palin was in sync with McCain's political philosophy and positions.

Working Poor Unready to Revolt Once upon a time when governments no longer served most of their citizens it was the most economically disadvantaged that could be counted on to rebel against tyranny and injustice. Times have changed, for the worse, despite the spread of democracy. Forget all that nonsense about the proletariat. Most Americans use their faith in God or religion or conventional politicians to cope with bad economic times.

We Need More Direct Democracy Should we be content to put our faith in elected representative or should we put it in ourselves? Haven't we been disappointed enough in those elected? We have less to fear from the will of the majority than from the actions of dishonest, corrupt and plutocracy-serving elected officials. For political reform seeking Americans the litmus test for presidential candidates should be whether they support more direct democracy.

Too Old and Brain-dead Imagine McCain aging as all other presidents have in office. It is a frightening prospect. Something akin to some horror movie that shows a transformation from a normal human being to some frightening alien life form. It is time for more Americans to face the truth about the two-party plutocracy that has robbed our political system and weakened our democracy: both McCain and Obama support it.

The Audacity of Arrogance The ruling class and the politicians that serve them exhibit horrendous hubris. Can suffering citizens rebel against the plutocratic political and economic system? Apparently the ruling class does not fear this. They should.

The Key Question About Tim Russet's Death I hope it finally gets revealed whether Tim Russet ever got an angiogram. Nothing I have heard about his treatment for coronary heart disease makes complete sense.

NYU Invades Brooklyn The giant and arrogant New York University wants to acquire the much smaller Polytechnic University; it wants the land it owns in downtown Brooklyn. Only the New York State Board of Regents can stop this travesty.

Poisonous Plutocracy Pushes Economic Inequality The biggest political issue receiving no attention by the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates is the powerful plutocracy that has captured the government to produce rising economic inequality. Both major parties have enabled, promoted and supported this Upper Class plutocracy.

What Are We Waiting For? A huge fraction of Americans have bought into the Obama candidacy because of his polished and effective rhetoric. But Obama does not offer the changes I have been waiting for, or the ones the public needs. A great speaker does not necessarily have the courage or intent to fight for deep political reforms. The right question is not whether this African American can win the general election, it is SHOULD he be president?

After Hillary, Voting With Conscience and Pride This general election more than most will test the courage of voters to avoid lesser-evil strategic voting that has propped up our two-party plutocracy. People with intelligence and conscience must resist peer pressure and the temptation to vote against John McCain by voting for Barack Obama. if you feel compelled to vote, then vote for Ralph Nader. He has a distinguished record of working solely in the public interest.

How to Get Universal Health Care Both Clinton and Obama believe that Americans have a moral right to universal health care. If this is correct and if this is what you believe, then achieving universal health care that covers absolutely everyone by making health care affordable to absolutely everyone, as it is in many other nations, requires a different kind of government action.

Obama's Crotch Itch Problem Considering that Obama has made his candidacy more about himself than ideology or policy positions, it is fair to be concerned that he is too cerebral. I want a president that knows how to scratch his itch. If he cannot act on his pain, how can he act on my pain and the pain of many millions of other Americans?

How Hillary Can Knock-Out Obama Now is the time for Hilary Clinton to take a bold position that in one brilliant, courageous stroke shows the nation that she is more willing to pursue true reforms of the two-party plutocratic political system than Obama is. With this single position she can transform herself from status-quo politicalestablishment candi date to a true believer in what the Founders gave us in the Constitution.

The Most Powerful People in America Now is the time for all the millions of Americans that make up the 81 percent who see the nation on the wrong track to take action, to think like patriotic revolutionaries and take the power that now only exists with their spending. The most powerful people are US, American consumers that account for over 70 percent of the economy. It is exactly now, when the economy is in the toilet, that consumers hold the maximum power.

Film Review: The Reflecting Pool Whether you see yourself as a truth seeker, patriotic American, independent thinker or voter, or just someone with bad memories of 9/11, you should make an effort to view The Reflecting Pool, a new independent movie. It is not about 9/11. It is about the credibility of the official government story about 9/11.
