The Shaming of America Our writer delivers a searing dispatch after the WikiLeaks revelations that expose in detail the brutality of the war in Iraq - and the astonishing, disgraceful deceit of the US by Robert Fisk As usual, the Arabs knew. They knew all about the mass torture, the promiscuous shooting of civilians, the outrageous use of air power against family homes, the vicious American and British mercenaries, the cemeteries of the innocent dead. All of Iraq knew. Because they were the victims. Only we could pretend we did not know. Only we in the West could counter every claim, every allegation against the Americans or British with some worthy general - the ghastly US military ...

The Perfect Storm Monday 18 October 2010 by: Robert Reich | RobertReich.org It's a perfect storm. And I'm not talking about the impending dangers facing Democrats. I'm talking about the dangers facing our democracy. First, income in America is now more concentrated in fewer hands than it's been in 80 years. Almost a quarter of total income generated in the United States is going to the top 1 percent of Americans. The top one-tenth of one percent of Americans now earn as much as the bottom 120 million of us. Who are these people? With the exception of a few entrepreneurs like Bill Gates, they're top executives of big corporations and Wall Street, hedge-fund ...

Eight False Things the Public "Knows" Prior to Election Day Friday 22 October 2010 by: Dave Johnson | Campaign for America's Future | Report There are a number of things the public "knows" as we head into the election that are just false. If people elect leaders based on false information, the things those leaders do in office will not be what the public expects or needs. Here are eight of the biggest myths that are out there: 1) President Obama tripled the deficit. Reality: Bush's last budget had a $1.416 trillion deficit. Obama's first budget reduced that to $1.29 trillion. 2) President Obama raised taxes, which hurt the economy. Reality: Obama cut ...

Big Problem for Banks: Due Process By JOE NOCERA Published: October 22, 2010 * Earlier this week, Bank of America, the nation’s largest consumer bank, reported its third-quarter earnings. It was a very good quarter; putting aside an accounting charge — a very large, $10.4 billion accounting charge, admittedly — the bank reported $3.1 billion in profits. It was the third consecutive quarter that Bank of America had earned more than $3 billion. Enlarge This Image Brendan Hoffman/Bloomberg News Brian Moynihan, Bank of America's chief, stressed the profitable quarters in a conference call.

That's the analysis of Joseph Stiglitz, an internationally renowned economist and ...
Leftists, Progressives and Socialists (Walter Williams)

One of the greatest sources of confusion and deception is the difference between leftists, progressives, socialists, communists and fascists. I thought about this as I caught a glimpse of the Oct. 2 "One Nation" march on Washington. The participants proudly marched with banners, signs and placards reading "Socialists," "Ohio U Democratic Socialists," "International Socialists Organization," "Socialist Party USA," "Build A Socialist Alternative" and other signs expressing support for socialism and communism. They had stands where they sold booklets under the titles of Marxism and the State, Communist Manifesto, Four Marxist ...
Bush: ‘I Miss Being Pampered’

Bush: ‘I Miss Being Pampered’ “I loved being your president,” George W. Bush said, speaking to an audience at a university fundraiser in Alabama earlier this month. “But frankly,” he added, “I’m having the time of my life not being your president.” Last night, Bush told a sold out crowd in Texas why he loved being president so much: Bush said he misses certain aspects of the presidency. “I miss being pampered; I miss Air Force One; I miss being commander in chief of an awesome group of (people),” he said.

Late last week, the Heritage Foundation's Jim Carafano posted an essay at the Daily Caller, that took issue with the characterization of recent efforts by Heritage, AEI, and the Foreign Policy Initiative to sell the American people on the idea that we don't spend too much on the military. He seemed particularly incensed by the suggestion that this was a GOP-sponsored effort to speak to the Tea Party movement. On the contrary, protests Carafano, the message that the Pentagon's budget should be off-limits to any deficit reduction effort is aimed at the "ruling elites" and comes from three think tanks with no formal partisan affiliations. It is these ruling elites who ...
Conservatives for Empire

The U.S. government is effectively bankrupt. Angry citizens in the Tea Party movement are bypassing traditional politicians. Republican Party apparatchiks are scrambling to turn popular frustration to their advantage. The conservative movement also is in flux. Some pundits identified with the Right, such as David Frum and Ross Douthat, have advocated that conservatives become “liberals lite,” abandoning their commitment to limited government and learning to live with the expensive, expansive and intrusive welfare state. Most traditional conservative leaders have rejected this advice, choosing instead to support the conservative verities of fiscal responsibility and individual ...
Two Wars and We Don't Feel a Draft - The benefits of a volunteer military

In war as in life, what doesn't happen is often as significant as what does. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with their setbacks, victories, and casualties, have many things in common with past American wars. But there is one big thing missing this time: the draft. Hendrik Hertzberg noted recently in The New Yorker magazine that "for the first time in a century, America is fighting a long war—indeed, two long wars, each longer than our participation in both World Wars put together—without conscription." A few decades ago, the draft was a requirement for any major military undertaking. No one would have dreamed of fighting the Germans and Japanese, or the North ...

Mideast talks fall apart, as Israel lets West Bank settlements begin anew. Peter Beinart on how American Jewish groups tie Obama’s hands—and work against peace. This just in, for anyone in the United States who still cares: Israel has not renewed the partial settlement freeze it imposed ten months ago. Which means that the direct talks with the Palestinians born this month may die in the crib. Which raises an interesting question: What would it take to make American Jewish groups admit that an Israeli prime minister is not serious about peace? You could hardly find a better test case than Benjamin Netanyahu. Until last year, Netanyahu had not just spent his entire political ...

The Breadwinner “My Momma told me that I am the breadwinner for the family.” I was speaking to an emergency room physician this morning. He told me that a woman in her 20’s came to the ER with her 8th pregnancy. She stated “my momma told me that I am the breadwinner for the family.” He asked her to explain. She said that she can make babies and babies get money for the family. The scam goes like this: The grandma calls the Department of Child and Family Services and states that the unemployed daughter is not capable of caring for these children. DCFS agrees and states that the child or children will need to go to foster care. The grandma then volunteers to be ...

By John Galt October 17, 2010 On September 30, 2010, WCCO reported via the Associated Press as story about two trains colliding. It was not the ‘Army Freight Special’ hitting the Taggart Comet and exploding killing all of the passengers and employees, but an incident which has had a huge impact on my psyche and approach to the conflagration which was just starting to receive mainstream media exposure; a totally unrelated but parallel story which many of us have been following for months and year on these pages and many other blog sites. The accident was between two freight trains and is still, of course according to the story, under investigation. What was unusual, in this ...

SUPER JEW Wolf Blitzer and our local public television anchor the very homely and Armenian Nancy Karibjanian (WHYY) moderated the debate between Democrat (i.e. Communism Without The Firing Squad) Party Candidate Chris Coons, and Republican "Tea Party"("I'm Not A Witch If I Can See My Reflection In My Cauldron") Party Candidate Christine O'Donnell.
They were both asked about a "pathway to citizenship for those here illegally."
Coons expressed "a real sincere concern about the national security threat" (based on New Castle County Police experiences in certain neighborhoods-HAH! It must be awful when some people aren't in the state's DMV computer database! "He doesn't have a driver's ...

Dinesh D’Souza has the bizarre idea that Barack Obama’s presidency can be best understood by realizing that “Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s [that is, Obama’s late estranged Kenyan father]. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation’s agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son.” D’Souza needs to get out more. Specifically he should have a talk with Timothy Carney and Charlie Gasparino, whose books demonstrate beyond question that the best phrase to sum up ...

For the fourth day running, France has been crippled by strikes. Airlines are canceling flights. Travelers making their way to Paris from DeGaulle and Orly face long delays. Tourists are stranded. The Eiffel Tower was closed. Rail and subway traffic into the city has been curtailed. By shutting down refineries, French oil workers may cause a shutdown of gas stations and force the government to raid the strategic petroleum reserve. Millions have gone on strike. One in 10 high schools has been closed. Students at secondary schools and universities march beside workers and block entrances to paralyze the educational system. And what is the cause of this national tantrum? President Nicolas ...

The Brown Shoes Problem By Ron Marks Senior Fellow, George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute The late comedian George Gobel once told a story about how he felt like a pair of brown shoes in a room full of tuxedos. That, most sadly, is the story of Jim Jones as the Obama NSC advisor. First of all, let’s make it clear; Jim Jones was a fine general. He ran his commands well, was respected and liked. And, also let’s face it; you don’t get to be a four star general without some form of political prowess. However, I think Jones was outgunned and outmatched in his Advisor position from day one. It is a different game at the White House. The role of the ...

July 20th, 2009 !! NO ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLANNED !! If you’re looking forward to an economic recovery, forget it – it’s not going to happen under the present regimes of this world. These world elite have us right where they want us, and they are not going to allow us to regain the abundant life we once knew. These very same world elite have systematically shipped all of our good paying jobs overseas to third-world countries, and our present leadership in Washington D.C. have made it clear that those jobs will never return to our shores. They instead keep promising us “green jobs” which can never fill even 1% of the jobs we need. But instead of bemoaning the dire ...
