Is The Political Soul Of America One Of Hope And Change Or Doom And Gloom?

The power to triumph over adversity is an innate gift to every person and by extension to every group and nation. On the surface, this may appear to be a well-meaning but cruel lie. Adversity and, for some, diversity can feel overpowering. Many young couples express doubt about the sanity of conceiving children in a world that appears destined for suicidal destruction. Others, all but ignoring the foolishness of most of their outlandish options, express doubt about living in a nation where so many diverse opinions are in conflict with their own and so many diverse people are in conflict...

Secession And Suicide As Political Statements in the USA?

Instead of "Secession And Suicide As Political Statements in the USA", I was tempted to give this post the title of "You Don't have to Be Crazy To Be A Conservative Republican But It Helps". I didn't because it was too easy and perhaps too much of a cheap shot. Nevertheless, the premise is not without some validity. Behavior and rhetoric by Republicans and pundits on the conservative right throughout the political campaign were rife with documented stories bordering on silliness, stupidity, and, dare I say, craziness if not real insanity. After the re-election of President Barack Obama it got... Read more →

Honor Troops, Veterans, And Military Families With More Than Patriotic Talk.

Americans enjoy waving small flags and proclaiming that we support our troops. On Sunday at professional football stadiums across America, television cameras panned veterans in the crowd as thousands of fans waved and cheered. Many fans, with pride and fervor, chanted the familiar "USA! USA! USA!" Americans clearly believe that we support our troops. But what does it mean when we say we support our troops? Do we honor and support our troops by merely wearing plastic or rubber wrist bands or by parades and patriotic applauds in public arenas? Speeches and public cheers acknowledge the service of veterans and... Read more →

Can We Unite The United States Of America For America's Sake?

Late Tuesday night I tweeted "Congratulations to Mitt Romney for a gracious and patriotic concession speech." Later I was reminded that generally every losing presidential candidate gives a gracious patriotic concession speech. Al Gore, John Kerry, and John McCain, before Mitt Romney, gave America the same kind of concession speech. And even though the tenor of his short speech was not congruent with the Mitt Romney we saw most often during the presidential campaign, it was still a good move on his part and much better than the bitter retort to the American people's re-election of President Barack Obama that...

Why Poor And Middle Class White America is Confused By The Republican Agenda.

What Once had been a large and proud white middle class has been decimated. And the Conservative Republican Agenda killed it. Sadly, but not surprisingly, too many poor and middle class white Americans who have been hurt the most by this agenda don't see it that way. In spite of being lied to and having jobs, simple rights, and American safeguards systematically taken away from them, poor and middle class white Americans persist in embracing a political party that convinces poor people to make sure that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people don't take...

Can You Trust A Business Man To Be President Who Outsourced Jobs To China and Will Cut Or Privatize FEMA, Medicare, Social Security, Education, and Big Bird?

Mitt Romney is a business man who made millions taking over American Companies, firing American workers, and outsourcing jobs to Communist China. That alone is enough to make him unfit to lead America in the office of President of The United States. The other stuff he has said and done simply validate that conclusion. It is likely that many undecided voters were undecided because they considered voting for the Romney-Ryan ticket but in their heart of hearts know that voting for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan is a very bad decision. Many Americans hope for the best, but being a... Read more →
