Monday, July 12th, 2010You would think in this day and age, that people would understand our past. As the saying goes, those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And so the going happens with gay marriage.
Most people don’t see the parallel between interracial marriage and gay marriage. They claim they are two very [...]
No footnotes, no asterisks
Saturday, October 17th, 2009You know, when you read the Declaration of Independence put forth by the Founding Fathers, you have to notice one fact. There are no footnotes or asterisks that direct the reader to some subsection saying that “well, we didn’t mean it applies to this group or that”. The most famous line is, of course, this:
We [...]
Things I’ve heard on the passing of Senator Kennedy
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009You want to see the real difference between a Democrat and a Republican? I know this comes from my observations, but having watched the same thing on right-wing television this morning, I know others have experienced it.
Democrats, upon hearing Senator Kennedy has died: He was the lion of the Senate. He was the reason so [...]
Why I Want To Run the White House Healthcare Planning and Debate
Thursday, August 20th, 2009Okay, I have to admit that at times, I can be a control freak. But it is only because when I see something is misguided and not firing on all cylinders, I want to make it right for all those concerned. It’s this reason that I want to go to the White House and be [...]
My thoughts on health care
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009Had a discussion with a friend on Facebook on healthcare. They were not sure about it, and wanted to know the reasons FOR and why would someone NOT want healthcare. I put together the following, and thought I should share here as well:
The only things I’ve heard are: A) namecalling (SOCIALISM!) B) we’re rushing things [...]
Why people think Democrats are wimps
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009Yeah, that’s a pretty infuriating headline, but I have a point. Come with me on this.
In the late 1980s/early 1990s, it came out that the Reagan/Bush White House was involved in the Iran-Contra affair, to the highest levels. When Bill Clinton took the White House in 1992, what was the decision on Iran-Contra? Clinton said [...]
Declare YOUR independence
Saturday, July 4th, 2009You know what? I’m sick. I’m sick to death of corporatism. Everywhere you look is either a “made in China” sticker, or some corporation that has no ties to your local community wants you to come spend your money at their establishment – so they can suck that money out of your community and send [...]
The most eloquent explanation about Iowa
Monday, April 6th, 2009One of my favorite talk show hosts is Mike Malloy, now self-syndicating since NovaM Radio went the way of the DoDo bird. I’m listening to his Friday podcast (which you can subscribe to by clicking here) and his explanation of the Friday Iowa Supreme Court ruling. He made it so clear, without any fluff.
Basically, Mike [...]
Want to know a place to put your money right now?
Monday, March 23rd, 2009We all are wondering what to do with our money right now, what little money we have left over to invest. Yeah, we *are* saving more these days, which is awesome. But what do to with it? How about buying a US Savings Bond? Remember any report from the 1940s and the “Buy War Bonds!” [...]
Getting out the progressive message
Thursday, February 12th, 2009The media in this country has been a place where it tries to think for the individual. It sort of reminds me of the fat, lazy humans in Wall-E. We only pay attention to soundbytes, and even then, they have to be the most tempting. People get lazy; hell if it hadn’t been so blatant, [...]
