How the Reagan Revolution Succeeded: Strangling Government in a Bathtub and Destroying Public Services Message to Obama, the dike has broken and the deluge is drowning what is left of American government, particularly at the state and local levels, and Grover Norquist is seeing his dream realized of seeing the public good breathe its last breath as its head is held under water until it breathes its last gasp.

Progressives: Divided We Fall. Keep Your Eye on the Prize of Government for the Common Good and Healing the Planet Movements require shoe leather, organization and loud voices, not e-mail petitions that are quickly deleted if they ever even arrive in a Congressional or Senate Offices. Movements require sweat equity, courage, perseverance, self-sacrifice and determination. Movements can change the world; E-mails to Congress won't.

Corporations Wanted Personhood: Supreme Court Gave it to Them. Treat BP/Corps Like People Who Commit Crimes People wouldn't be protected from prosecution in such a case, so why should BP only get the advantages of the legal rights of "corporate personhood," but not be subject to the legal sanctions that we as Americans would be subject to?

From the 1953 CIA Overthrow of Iran Democracy, to the Iraq War, to the Criminal Gulf Disaster and Deaths, BP Was There For more than a century, we -- citizens of a nation founded on democratic principles of citizens deciding their nation's destiny -- have been nothing but pawns in the war over access to oil, wherever it is or might be found.

Protest Big Oil, Get Arrested; BP Pollutes the Earth with 100s of Millions of Gallons of Oil -- Just a Statistic We have evolved into an oligarchy that considers cost savings and profit ahead of lives and the preservation of our earth. There is no accountability; just grim statistics and gluttonous predatory profiteers who continue to fatten themselves on the misfortunes that they visit upon the rest of us.

Throw the Top BP Executives and Its Two SubContractors in Federal Prison Until the Gulf Well is Capped and Damages Paid We think imprisoning the 15 officials from the three companies would result in a timely stopping of the horrific amounts of oil polluting the Gulf and eventually the Atlantic Ocean. After all the corporations are people -- the Supreme Court ruled in January -- so let's apply the law as it should be applied under the concept of Corporate Personhood.

Sedition Coming to a Town Near You: Potential Domestic White "Christian" Terrorists in Our Midst are Locked and Loaded Challenging the legitimacy of a government to rule is the most basic form of sedition. Violence comes from an uprising of those who believe, with each passing day, that they are living under an "oppressive" form of government, and hearing that confirmed from their favorite right wing talkers and politicians.

The Lies of "Conservatism" and the "Center" are Immoral The created fiction of the "center" is used as an excuse for inaction on behalf of America's obscenely wealthy interests. The "center" is ever-moving, if only we had the leadership that was unbought to move it toward our aspirations and dreams, and to take advantage of the great skills of the American people.

Two Supreme Court GOP Coups Bracket a Decade For America, it's been a decade of two Supreme Court coups that have stolen democracy and replaced it with something akin to activist right wing judicial rulings on behalf of the oligarchy that pulls the strings in D.C. Will we sit back and passively accept that corporations have the same rights to elect our government as people do?

Roger Ailes Produced a TV Special: 'Wizards, Clowns, and Honest Liars'; Take Out the Honest Part and It's Him It's no coincidence that the head of the most successful propaganda operation in the history of American television is a hypocrite: name a prominent Republican who isn't a hypocrite when it comes to "family."

Who Says a Terrorist Attack Has to be In an Airplane? How the GOP Threatens Our Lives Republicans endanger America by trying to score political points and forgetting how vulnerable we are to foreign "cell" attacks on the ground, but also the GOP and its media shills foment domestic terrorism that is an equal threat to our lives.

Terrorists and Their GOP Enablers Who Terrorize Us The GOP wants to be the megaphone for the terrorists, turning America into a mass of quivering jelly so that they can assume dictatorial powers, as Cheney and Bush did. If you doubt it, just catch Dick Cheney on one of his FOX interviews to understand this syndrome.

Harry Reid: Speak Wobbly and Carry No Stick Don't believe any rumors about Reid promising to sink the Stupak Amendment or including a stronger Public Option in the joint reconciliation bill with the House. Harry swings like the wind, buffeted by forces from all sides that he has no inherent ability to keep in line.

Once Again, Jon Stewart, Decimates FOX's Credibility and Makes Hannity Confess It was with hearfelt thanks that we saw Stewart bring FOX to their knees, actually forcing them to admit that they had used footage from a spring Teabagger rally to make Michele Bachmann's latest freak show gathering in D.C. appear much, much larger than it was.

Vigilance: The Public Option Could Easily Unravel Yet Don't think anything is over. The sabotage efforts against the government option are in full swing in D.C., you can be sure. Vigilance and a loud, demanding voice are the best option for those who advocate the consumer option.

Dems in Despair Finally Find a Champion Who Won't Back Off Defending Sanity: Unlikely Hero Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida We despair that too many Democratic senators (and Blue Dog House Representatives) not only don't have the courage of their convictions; they may not have any convictions other than getting campaign contributions from Big Money and Big Corporations. But Grayson stood up for the people of America over the corporations and corporate media in putting the facts, not the fictions, on the table -- and not backing down.

FOX Won't Fire Glenn Beck: Here's Why FOX is Rupert Murdoch's main vehicle for ensuring the continued and unquestioned greed of the corporate ruling class, and Beck is the most successful gutter carnival barker in terms of churning up hateful and igniting emotions that they have. He touches something so evil and primal in the chronically confused and white-firsters that he makes Hannity appear civil.

Wanted for Murder: Antonin Scalia Scalia was one of just two written dissenters (along with his puppet, Clarence Thomas), who ferociously challenged the notion that the Supreme Court should ensure that an innocent man not be put to death.

Isn't It Ironic Orly Taitz, "Birther" Leader, is Foreign Born and Raised Making Lunatic Claim Obama Wasn't Born in U.S.? The birther movement is full of malcontents--anti-Semites, skinheads, political malcontents, white firsters, and a radical right wing Jew--in the case of Taitz, I speculate--who fears for Israel (in Netanyahu paranoid style) under Obama. The birthers are a group of psychos who would be shooting each other if they didn't share a common hatred of Obama and the fear of America becoming a nation where whites are in the minority.
