Forget political correctness. The revolution has NOT arrived! Bush is still president. The corporate state is safe. The Upper Class has little to fear. Lobbyists will be writing different names on checks. Winning Democrats will entertain more than they will produce historic restorative reforms. Did Republicans deserve to lose? Of course! Let us not forget that a MAJORITY of Americans did NOT speak with their votes.

If you want to reform the federal government then you should fight for a constitutional amendment giving citizens the right to recall top federal officials, especially members of Congress.

Greedy and powerful American companies not content with using economic inequality to devastate working- and middle-class Americans are now using their clout to fight efforts in China to combat economic inequality there. They want to keep wages low there so they can drive wages down here and everywhere else. Big-time American corporations are threatening to shut down their extensive Chinese operations.

Please, stop already with all the bitching, ranting and screaming about all the screwed up aspects of our current national calamity. Anyone that is ready to join a revolution already knows about all the political, economic and social crap that has brought our beloved country down. Start to focus on strategy and then on specific tactics. We must fight a war and win it with smart strategies and tactics.

Ousting Democrats and Republicans is more justified and needed than removing the tyranny of the King of England. Our elected domestic tyranny operating as a plutocracy masquerading as a democracy has been raping our nation. Yet middle class victims seem more than willing to keep bending over and asking for more pain and insult as they fall hook, line and sinker for the lies of both Barack Obama and John McCain.

Progressives are complaining about President Obama but not using very strong language. Worse, they do not have the courage to create conditions that would allow a true progressive to run against Obama in Democrat primaries in 2012.

An amazing 37 House Democraps voted in favor of HR 4772 Private Property Rights Implementation Act of 2006 that passed on September 29. In a nutshell, the legislation serves corporate interests with significant financial resources who are unhappy with unfavorable local zoning decisions.

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

SHARE Friday, May 2, 2008 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.

Analyses by many experts reveal the collapse of three WTC buildings was not caused by the two airplanes exploding into the two towers. The general view is that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. Can Americans support a reinvestigation and rethinking of the 9/11 event? Or would they rather avoid even more pain and preserve the official account that places all blame on Al-Qaeda?

Blockbuster richly deserves to go bankrupt because it never responded well to clever, cheaper alternatives for renting videos. Now we have to hope that the government does not bail it out.

It is never easy to communicate wisdom. Even more difficult to do so in an engaging way that makes it very, very easy to read and understand. Mickey Z. has accomplished this difficult task in his new book No Innocent Bystanders. This book is designed to reach deep into a person's consciousness, pierce normal psychological defenses, and overcome a lifetime of facile rationalizations.

Hundreds of members of Congress – in the House and Senate – are mental midgets, embarrassing blowhards, chronic liars, outright crooks, corporate lackeys, and elderly buffoons. They are plutocracy protectors more than democracy defenders.

Is Obama, the self-professed progressive, the real thing? Is he something other than a conventional politician? I have read many of his speeches and other statements. Obama says "America is a land of big dreamers and big hopes." Then please tell us soon what are YOUR big dreams and big hopes hopes for America and be specific. We do not need another political false idol, from the left or the right.

When Illinois voters rejected having a state constitution convention in this past election they believed the lies of corrupt status quo political forces. Shame on them. Like most Americans they have the delusional belief that they can keep electing Democrats or Republicans that will reform government. But all we get are more liars and criminals.
