Obama Team Engages Public on Health Care
A national strategy is an essential course of action to deal with our Health Care crisis. The fact that 49 million Americans have no health insurance is a national disgrace. The number of Americans with no health insurance tells only a small part of the story. The growing numbers of under-insured Americans and the drastic co-pay increases facing almost every American is the newest crisis. The...
"The 'Magic Negro' Debacle - The Daily Beast"
Of all the blogs and stories I have read on the “Magic Negro” flap the article by John Avlon in The Daily Beast is the best. Republicans don’t get it. Sorry Sarah “Real Americans” are sick of the racist hate language that has emanated from many corners of the Republican Party for years. Real American’s don’t think that Big Government should not be able to tell a Gay American who they can or can...
The end may be near: To the big “liberal Media...
From the “imbedded” journalists in Iraq, planted stories and the pro-Neo Conservative reporting by the Corporate Press, finally we are seeing the unraveling of America’s greatest myth: The myth of a “liberal Media Bias”.

A $70m lawsuit filed by Dan Rather, the veteran former newsreader for CBS Evening News, against his old network is reopening the debate over alleged favourable...
“Barack the Magic Negro”
Why do so many Republicans and Conservatives hate America so much? This racial degrading video by a RNC Chairmen wanabee (Chip Saltsman was former Arkansas Governor) is both telling and shocking. Telling because the idiot who handed out this racist crap does not even fathom why anyone would be upset with “Barack the Magic Negro”. The story is shocking because this kind of hurtful un-American crap...

Bush and his gang of fellow travelers dragged this great country of ours through the mud and he has no regrets! Abu Ghraib, Gitmo and Katrina just to name a few. Shame, Shame on you George W. Bush and shame on all the people who supported you on your journey into the abyss!
At least we have taken the country back from the Neo-cons who consciously or un- consciously tried to destroy the greatest...
Merry Christmas one and all! My next post will be Saturday as I am out of town. This is sent from my PDA.
Anti-union slurs have become gospel truths....
Even now: The Conservatives and Limbaughtomites seem to control the message. The message of course is that it is the unions that destroyed the American auto industry. This accepted urban myth is as short on the facts as the common conviction that our corporate owned media somehow has a “Liberal Bias”. (Later on the “Liberal Media fallacy). These days our newspaper editorial pages are rife with...
Rep. Nadler Demands Independent Counsel to...
It is almost beyond words. The United States initiated War Crimes Tribunals for Japanese Military personnel who engaged in water-boarding in WWII. All I can say is torture is Un-American and the full force of US law and International Law should be brought against Bush and his gang of thugs.
Good work Brother Nadler. You are a true American hero and patriot!

Pastor Rick Warren to speak at King memorial
Obviously the Reverend Warren’s comments on gay issues are bigoted and shameful coming out of the mouth of a “Christian” leader. However, I support Obama’s decision to have the good Reverend Warren to open the prayer at next month’s inaugural. This is not a slap in the face of our Gay Brothers and Sisters but a moment to reach out to a Conservative Christian Leader and his followers. The...
Where'd the bailout money go? Shhhh, it's a secret
Yea where did the bailout money go? Disgusting! As I said prior: The Bankers and Financiers should have to go before Congress just like the Auto Executives did!

But after receiving billions in aid from U.S. taxpayers, the nation’s largest banks say they can’t track exactly how they’re spending the money or they simply refuse to discuss it.

Just what I have been saying for months. The Bush economic doctrine of rampant deregulation has caused our current economic situation. I can’t wait for Obama!

My church (the church of my youth) is split right down the middle of the issue of gay marriage and gay laity. I of course stand with my Gay Brothers and Sisters in solidarity. As a heterosexual I have the right to marry a female and gays should have the right to marry who they choose. On the...
