GOP Scorched Earth Policy to Kill Health Care

If American voters would make Republicans pay for their odious misdeeds, most of our governing problems would be over. There is a lot to be despised about Republican rhetoric and Republican actions, but probably the most reprehensible at this time is their plan to destroy government along with the…

Better Angels of our Nature

Even before the Trayvon Martin verdict, if we were really “touched by the better angels of our nature,” as Abraham Lincoln once said, we would know that the state of race in America is just one symptom of the sad state of America. Though black Americans are prominent, often…

Drones Above & Purloined Data Below

We are a nation of immigrants. Even the Native Americans immigrated, coming here some 12,000 years ago. To be perhaps peremptory or impertinent, the land was actually given to all of us by the universe, an almost 14 billion year process, perhaps precipitated by the Big Bang which was…

Voting Rights Slipping Away!

It is not every day that the US Supreme Court so actively challenges the designated constitutional authority of the US Congress, considering that Congress, as it did with the Voting Rights Act (VRA) in 2006, enforces the right of citizens of the United States to vote. Congress is specifically…

No real genius at the top, just ruthless privilege

You often hear egregious chatter by apologists for the wealthy, conspicuously mouthed by puppeteers of the rich, who almost exclusively come from the Republican Party. They say that the opulent are the ultimate god-given product of a meritocracy. The corporate executives (like Jamie Dimon, CEO of Chase, for example)…

George W. Bush: Bobbled, Busted and Convicted of War Crimes

Did you know that George W. Bush, even as he was preparing to hawk the opening of his Presidential Library in Dallas, Texas, was convicted of war crimes? Just a month after his conviction, ribbon cutting ceremonies opened his Presidential Center. There is beauty – architectural with “Freedom Hall,”…

Skewer the Women; Join the Kochs

A Harvard graduate and former Marine says gays are “perverted” and “very sick people psychologically, mentally, and emotionally.” Obama has “Muslim sensibilities.” Planned Parenthood can be compared to the KKK. Bishop E.W. Jackson is running for Lieutenant Governor in Virginia as a Republican. Ken Cuccineli, the Republican candidate for…

Political Use of IRS

Political Use of IRS

Political use of the IRS by past presidents was much more problematic than any current use by the Obama administration. In many cases, Democrats and Republicans use the IRS against targets more personal and with a lot less moral justification. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s frequent use of the IRS…

Rays of Hope and Crimes in High Places

Sunday’s Sixty Minutes offered for us a needed, even hopeful story of good and selfless Americans striving to help their struggling fellow citizens, doing things that an obstructionist, do-nothing Congress will not do. Still fresh in my mind is the action of partisan, loathsome Senators, thwarting the will of…
