Open Scandal

Obama’s ties to organized labor run deep and some might see this relationship as similar to the Republican scandal’s relationship to big business. In fact, many see union support as tipping the election scales in his favor in 2008. That was obvious a month after the presidential election, see the following from an article from December of [...]

Both in the nation and my personal life, I feel a great divide. Politics is no longer a behind doors topic. Friends and family, that disagree politically are relegated to silence or the superficial banter that one would expect from a stranger. The current economical-political environment has permeated all aspects of life and changed it. [...]

Anderson cooper puts Terry Lakin in his place and makes him look pretty simple. His lawyer, an even dumber individual, tries to defend Lakin but keeps iterating the same point regardless of the question. This post was submitted by birther.

The term socialism is often used by the Republican scandal to describe the efforts of the President and his allies. One can see why the Republicans would usurp a term like socialism.

In a move that can be seen as a slap in the face to the common American, Senate Republicans continue to prove they value big business and Wall Street over their best interest. This evening they united their power (of no) to block a financial regulatory bill from even reaching the Senate floor for discussion. Ironically, this a morning [...]

One need look no further than the recent discussion of Wall Street reform, to figure out the priorities of the Republican Party. Even after the financial sector’s wrongdoings almost collapsed our economy, big business is still their only concern. President Obama’s recent efforts to start the process of financial reform have been met with the same ire [...]

Never before in modern history have facts been so available as they are today. The Chinese government is currently waging a war with information giant Google to keep its repressed people from accessing information, as they know that people are harder to control once they have knowledge. One can see examples here in the United States of how the access to reasonable  information is [...]

Step 1: Let’s use words people don’t understand (nor do they) like Socialism and Death Panels to scare everyone out of having a public option. This way they can still receive funds from the insurance companies. Step 2: Since the dems could pass a health care bill anyway, they will be stuck with a sub-par [...]
