INDEPENDENT SENATOR SPEAKS ABOUT THE INCREASING GAP BETWEEN RICH AND POOR (VIDEO)

The rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor who are suffering more than ever. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, is speaking out like everyone should be.
If you are not angry about this, you aren't paying attention. Most Americans are too doped up on antidepressants to make a fuss. If this was France, people would be rioting in the streets!



There is reason to be concerned because as the mass of poverty-stricken, unemployed people grows, social unrest will ensue. Expect roving bands of angry and desperate young men with nothing to do but take what they need to survive.

RACHEL MADDOW SPEAKS ON GULF OIL-SPILL

Rachel Maddow speaks about the Gulf Oil-Spill. God, I love that woman!

One thing that gets to me about this whole oil- spill thing, is that people keep trying to put a price-tag on this global catastrophe, when there can be none. Each and every one of us is the victim of our own collective greed. In me opinion it is not just BP, but anyone who supported or supports offshore drilling of any kind.

JOHN F. KENNEDY ON SECURITY VERSUS FREEDOM

When I listened to this speech by John F. Kennedy, it became clear to me why he was assassinated. The "conspiracy" he speaks of must have been pretty pissed off by this. I would love to have your comment below...

Obama Speaks At George Mason University Patriot Center

Tonight President Obama made a final push for the health care reform bill just before it goes up for its final vote. Whether you agree with the Health Care Plan or not, isn't it refreshing to have a president who can put a sentence together for a change? After eight years of Bush's putting his foot in his mouth every time he opened it, it is really a pleasure to hear President Obama speak! If only he weren't so inclined to keep giving money to the military for wasteful purposes, I would support President Obama fully.

Mitt Romney Speaks Out Against Obama

Mitt Romney harshly criticized President Obama's actions since he has taken office in a speech today on C-SPAN .

I'm getting tired of hearing Republicans complain about all of the things the President is doing to reverse the damage of eight years of Republican failure. While Bush was in office, he had the luxury of a Republican congress that gave him anything he asked for. Without any Democratic restraint he managed to spend every dime of the huge surplus that was left in the treasury when Clinton left office and put the country deeply into debt with the rest of world.

The answer to the country's financial problems is really simple: Stop spending $3 Billion per month blowing stuff up half-way around the world! Over three-quarters of our national budget goes to the military! This money should be spent at home, building schools, bridges, and hospitals; it should be spent on building housing and giving food to our poor; we should be investing in a space program! Instead, Mr. Romney speaks about building up our military even more! He wants to pump up our troop levels!

Listen, the Republicans had their chance and clearly failed miserably with their warlike policies. The result of their failure has been pain and suffering all over the world, including here at home.

The next time you hear some near-sighted republican complaining about Obama, do me and the rest of the world a favor and remind them that it was their policies which got us into this mess in the first place!
By now it is clear that republicans only care about their stock funds and protecting their wealth. They make their money from the blood and sweat of the poor and human suffering appears to mean nothing to them.

State Of The Union Address

During the President's speech tonight I noticed something that surprised me. Although, I always thought that illegal immigration was one of the right-wing's favorite personal peeve's, when the President talked about reforming our county's immigration policy, very few of the Republican attendees stood up to applaude; conversely, nearly all of the Democrat attendees were on their feet clapping immediately. The Republican side of the gallery only grudgingly stood up when the President spoke of ending the war in Iraq: why do Republican's love war so much?

Although it has long been my position that both parties have been ripping off the American public for generations, it has been demonstrated that the Democrat's policies lead to a healthier economy and a freer society. It is clear that the right-wing's bottom line is always profits; they appear to be against anything that might threaten corporate profits.

The President's speech was strong and well delivered; he made a lot of sense. By contrast the Republican rebuttal was weak: The Republican's complain a lot about the President's ideas, but they always seem to forget that it was their irresponsible fiscal policies that led to the economic disaster the world is now facing.
