Note: Another piece decrying the Democratic Party leadership for its lackluster, treasonous behavior, forgetting that to behave otherwise, as the author suggests, would require the Democrats to be a non-corporatist party with allegiances to the working people and not plutocrats. Read it anyway, as the enumerations and descriptions of the problems may eventually get the [...]

FRANK SCHAEFFER: How I (and Other “Pro-Life” Leaders) Contributed to Dr. Tiller’s Murder Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly and other rightwing mouthpieces have lied, shouted, slandered, and agitated for decades against progressives, and inflamed the passions of nutjobs on the right with impunity.  How long is this to be tolerated?

In Congress We Trust … Not ||| By Sibel Edmonds

May 13 2009 by Greanville Patrice in AMERICAN BRAINWASH |No Comments

“The recent stunning but not unexpected revelations regarding Jane Harman by the Congressional Quarterly provide us with a little glimpse into one of the main reasons behind the steady decline in congress’s integrity. But the story is almost dead — ready to bite the dust, thanks to our mainstream media’s insistence on burying ‘real’ issues or stories that delve deep into the causes of our nation’s continuous downward slide. In this particular case, the ‘thank you’ should also be extended to certain blogosphere propagandists who, blinded by their partisanship, myopic in their assessments, and ignorant in their knowledge of the inner workings of our late congress and intelligence agencies, helped in the post-burial cremation of this case….”

“THEY MADE US SAFE” has become the latest claim to legitimacy by the GOP and the right-wing fanatics and crooks who permeated the Bush administration and derailed public policy with impunity for almost a decade. (This dismal era began in earnest with the invasion of Washington by Ronald Reagan and his criminal business cronies in [...]

The Cost of Running a Global Empire / By James Quinn

April 6 2009 by Greanville Patrice in AMERICAN BRAINWASH, IDEOLOGICAL COMBAT |1 Comment

“The U.S. war machine keeps turning. As we enforce our will on foreign countries, we produce more people who hate us. Just when you think the U.S. government is beginning to make sense by withdrawing troops from Iraq, they make the terrible decision to shuttle 21,000 more troops into the Afghan calamity. At a cost of $3.2 billion per month, we will throw another $38 billion down a rat hole in a country that has no vital strategic importance to the United States. Barack Obama is doing this to prove that he is a true statesman….”
