Fire Storm Alert!!

 The legal status of young illegals in our country needs more clarity and the President has done a lot to make it clear.  This is only a small portion of our policy and needs to be fleshed out by Congress... but then, they are mired in a do-nothing abyss by the GOtP.


Right wing fact check does not agree with current Right wing Alarm!!

The dog whistle word "amnesty" is being trotted out in an attempt to UNinform us too.  Enough of this already!!  The President did NOT give anyone amnesty.  More on this later.

Senator Sanders and truth

Senator Sanders is great at saying things plainly.  Calling out the Republicans for their stance on tax give backs to the rich and ubber-rich.  There is a huge bill coming due from the Bush wars run up on the national credit card and we need to pay that debt down... NOW.  There is a time for debate but on this issue every second costs us more later.  No tax give back for the super rich, and ease the burden on the middle class.  The middle class is on the defensive and is disappearing.  The Bush recession has pummeled the middle class and the Republicans have gone into "do nothing" mode and have stopped the economy as much as they can.

Spending...

The picture is worth a bunch of words analogy applies here.  The right likes to give out the talking point, that is completely without foundation, that the Obama administration is spending us into some new hole.  Let's have a restructuring of tax law.  Let's have a real conversation about single payor health care.  Let's have a fresh look at sending jobs over seas.

There is just so much to do to fix the real ills of the country.  Get off the talking points and start to actually talk with each other rather than AT each other.

This smells and sounds more like a hoax leak... a fabrication of the Right than any sort of Democratic party reality.  There is a lot more to this than meets the eye and I can't wait for the follow up to this "story".

Obama in sights of the Righties

Look at a crazy opinion that the Right has put out there:

An Idiotic View

A very lame and uninformed opinion.  The War on Women is real enough but it is NOT centered on pay issues.  The studies cited are fairly bogus but the real issue is the war on reproductive rights and generally making obstacles where none should exist.  It is NOT an Obama point nor it is a 99% issue to say that the focus is pay.  The misdirection at the end of the piece is a problem that doesn't even exist in THIS country... introduce a bill for a problem that doesn't exist?!?!  That's the long game for Republicans and Righties, in general, it is replete with such misinformation.

The suppression of voters has been the near permanent province of the right not the Obama administration.  Yet another problem that doesn't actually exist... more misdirection and disinformation fomented by the right not the left.  There is a problem with the suspicion that there has been electoral misconduct but thus far there is no prosecution on this either.  There is no voter fraud but there may be electoral fraud. 

The 99% Movement is NOT saying THEY represent or speak for the 99% but rather they are pointing out that those in politics are not speaking for us very well any more.  To say that this opinion piece is ill informed and poorly written is to fall short of how bad it really is.

Occupy & Demand

It's time to Occupy again.  This is the season for more protest.  Need to start a sign factory?  Here are some starts for bringing things back in line:

It's time to make demands!

Keeping up with the crazies.

Climbing the road out of Mexico to rejoin the throngs of political debaters in the U.S.A. for the summer I am reminded that by November I will be ready to go back to Mexico!!  Even the few TV ads I have seen in the last few days tell me this is going to be a no-holds-barred election process.

Stupid is as stupid does.
