Dueling Tea Party Factions?
In a previous post, I mentioned that I thought the far right was well organized with message control. I’m going to have to back away from that statement and qualify it by saying that “some” of them are. Based on what I’m reading, it appears that there are several factions of the Tea Party with … Continue reading
Tea Party’s Mark Williams defends "NAACP’s Letter to Lincoln"
There’s been a relentless attempt to goad African-Americans into an angry response on a number of fronts and the Tea Party’s Mark Williams’ satirical letter to Lincoln from the NAACP is the latest installment in this effort. This bait that is being hung out there by far right wing should be ignored, but unfortunately the … Continue reading
Ron Paul: Our foreign policy costs $1 trillion a year and Iran Sanctions are an act of war
I became familiar with Ron Paul several years ago from his anti-war writings during the early portion of the Iraq war. Those writings resonated with me as I saw them making a lot of sense in a time where the war drums were beating incessantly. At that time, talking against the war was a lonely … Continue reading
US Must Address Debt, Warns Debt Commission
President Obama’s bi-partisan debt commission gave a preliminary read out of the nation’s fiscal situation today. There was nothing earth shattering about the conclusion. The prognosis from co-chair Erskine Bowles is that current trends will destroy the country from within. I think Bowles is actually a bit off on that one as the holders of … Continue reading
Voter Intimidation and The New Black Panther Party
During the 2008 presidential contest, the campaigns of the various aspirants kept a very close eye on their each others public statements and activities with a eye towards capitalizing on any misstep. Sometimes even if there wasn’t an actual misstep, that wouldn’t stop one from being “created”. The talking points developed around an opponent had … Continue reading
Pat Buchanan: This campaign to censure and remove Steele is designed to censor debate and stifle dissent on Obama’s war policy, as long as Obama’s war policy closely tracks the agenda of the War Party.
The moon must be blue as I find myself in agreement with Pat Buchanan twice within the same week. I’ll spare the reader what I think of Buchanan as I’ve stated in previous posts my issues with him. I do find myself in agreement with Buchanan on a few issues and find that he occasionally … Continue reading
Study: Pot prices would plummet if California legalizes
I thought this was an interesting article in light of a recent post I made here regarding US bank involvement in money laundering. A couple of issues are apparent here. First, California, the ninth largest economy in the world, is on the brink of financial collapse and is casting around for any for almost anything … Continue reading
Glenn Beck Cost Fox Millions and Lost Half His Audience, but News Corp. Stands Behind Him
I suggested a few days ago in this post that the entire reason that Glenn Beck wanted to conduct a March on Washington on the anniversary of MLK’s historic march was to garner ratings. I further suggested that African-Americans would be better off attending to more pressing issues rather than getting tricked into helping Beck … Continue reading
US Banks found to be involved in Mexican drug war
Last week, I posted a story about Mexican drug gangs threatening to kill US police officers in Nogales Arizona. While discussing the post, I said the following: In a way, the violence in Chester PA and that in Mexico are mirrors of the same thing. The economic situation is so desperate and the social controls … Continue reading
