Palmer Raids, Tail Gunner Joe McCarthy, Barack Obama: Peas In A Pod
January 3, 2012
In WWI we had the Palmer raids of A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General of the United States. In the early 50s we had the insanity of a dipsomaniac Wisconsin U.S. Senator, Joe McCarthy. Now we have the 21st century final fall from grace as the President of the United States, Barack Obama, accompanied by United [...]
Who Is Barack Obama?
September 14, 2011
President Obama likes to think he models himself after Abraham Lincoln in the way he operates in government. I think it has become apparent that Mr. Obama’s heart and soul and actions are modeled strictly on Neville Chamberlain at Munich. #

The March of Orwell’s Lemmings (You Listening, Barack?)(No, I’m Not!)
August 21, 2011
Good piece (short one) by Ray McGovern over at Common Dreams on the United States’ lemming march to the sea of Afghanistan (and other istans, if you will).

Obama Speaks: Pablum and Bullshit
August 8, 2011
Obama just finished his latest little speech, his pep talk aimed at… well, maybe at the people living on Mars. For ten minutes, nine of them on the economy, he spewed pablum and drool, saying he was hopeful our economic problems could be solved. No mention of the people who brought us to this condition. [...]

The Progressive Rips Obama’s ‘More War’ Speech
June 23, 2011
Matthew Rothschild over at The Progressive Magazine site takes apart President Obama’s speech on the so-called troop drawdown in Afghanistan. Obama and his crew are bullshitting us, plain and simple.

“Obama lacks backbone”: Cornell West
May 16, 2011
Cornell West is a prominent black moral philosopher who supported Barack Obama, worked hard for his election to the Presidency, and got treated like fingernail dirt by President Obama. He’s a little miffed. I said, ‘Oh, my God, I have really been misled at a very deep level.’ “I thought Barack Obama could have provided [...]
Remember Afghanistan? It’s Not Going Away. The Damn Fool’s In The Big Muddy, Again.
March 29, 2011
Do you remember this, the last verse of Pete Seeger’s song: Knee deep in the Big Muddy And the fools keep yelling, Push on Waist deep in the Big Muddy And the damn fools keep yelling, Push on Waist deep, neck deep We’ll be drowning before too long We’re neck deep in the Big Muddy [...]
