Saturday, October 10th, 2020Clever politicians have turned socialism into a frightening ghost. It has replaced terrorism as the catchall phrase. Should we get our pitch forks and kill this really scary monster? Maybe, but be careful what you kill. You might just kill a friend. Socialism simply means public ownership of property. No more. No less. Governments turned […]
Healthcare Peril
Thursday, October 1st, 2020If we learned anything over the last 7 months, it is that Donald Trump would make a horrible healthcare provider. Imagine asking him if you had cancer. Donald would lie to keep you from panicking. Contrary to the fact that quick treatment could save your life.  Covid 19 has killed more than 200,000 Americans. Who […]
1933, 1954, 2020 SCOTUS
Thursday, September 24th, 20201954 was a pivotal year in the history of the United States. Since 1933, a coalition of representatives from Northern cities and rural Southern states had worked to improve the lives of average Americans. Franklin Delano Roosevelt built that coalition. The fruits of the coalition were collectively known as the New Deal, or the welfare […]
Defend Security, Medicare, and our Public schools.
Monday, February 24th, 2020Make no mistake, the real targets of the “socialist” scare word are Social Security, Medicare, and our public schools. If these are privatized, billions more dollars will flow to the top 1% rather than into needed services. Stop the scam. If you receive a pay check from a local school board, a city, tribe a […]
Monkey Cage: Makers vs Takers
Friday, January 5th, 2018I always need this explanation of government benefits. Conservatives constantly lie about who gets help. We, the government of the United States of America, help the least among us.   There simply isn’t a large percentage of people taking advantage of the system. Of the 24.7% of Americans who did not work and received government benefits […]
Gifts for Christ or Herod?
Thursday, December 21st, 2017Christmas time teaches a lot about our priorities. In my house growing up it was all about the kids. Our families would all gather at my grandmother’s house, later my dad’s, to celebrate. The highlight was the kid’s opening presents. Giving to the “least of these†was the reason for the season. It brought out […]
The Conservative Deficit Creation Strategy
Thursday, December 7th, 2017The conservative deficit creation strategy is clearer every day. Not long ago we heard conservatives scream that deficits were bad. Now conservatives control the United States House of Representatives, the Senate and Presidency, and they are eagerly creating $1.5 trillion dollars in deficit spending. Why would they do that? Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) explained his […]
Not My President?
Wednesday, May 24th, 2017No, I do not use that phrase.  I do understand why some might. Donald has done nothing to reach out beyond his own supporters. Instead he does the opposite, going out of his way to sow the seeds of discord throughout our society. His lying words about Mexicans and Muslims make my stomach turn. His […]
A Big Conservative Lie Died Today
Friday, March 24th, 2017Dearly beloved, We, the People of the United States of America, are gathered here today to put to rest 8 years of lies. President Obama and the Democrats in the Congress did their homework and passed a sound bill. Like all pieces of legislation, it was not perfect, but it was the best compromise. It […]
