Comment: The Republicans continue to outdo themselves in their heartless, amoral pronouncements and actions. Even with their track record of filibustering to prevent an extension of unemployment benefits to Americans who lost their jobs as a direct result of years of Republican “corporatism” (Mussolini’s term for fascism), it is hard to believe how outrageous they [...]
Comment: In the increasingly Kafkaesque political landscape in this country, nothing highlights the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of both sides of the political aisle than the debate over the “9/11 Mosque.” Conservative elements have correctly noted the links of Feisal Abdul Rauf and associates to the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as disturbing indications that his [...]
Decades of Bush family intrigue culminates in Dubya’s eight year debacle; disasters overtaking the US are the inevitable outgrowth of Bush’s corporatist philosophy and corrupt administrative practice.
Comment: While waving the flag with one hand, the GOP has been warning of or openly preaching secession. The latest GOP luminary to preach sedition is Representative Zach Wamp. As we will see in the Salon.com article below, Wamp is a member of “The Family”–a consummately powerful, fundamentalist Christian organization with close ties to the [...]

Guess we can add IMF to the list of individuals and institutions that want lots of impoverished, desperate elderly and disabled.

Comment: Against the background of six hours of interviews on the subject of Russ Baker’s remarkable recent book Family of Secrets, it is worth contemplating the possibility that Jeb Bush might attempt to perpetuate the Bush family’s political dynasty. Concerned citizens should carefully weigh the Bush political machine and its legacy–so amply illustrated by Russ [...]
With JFK safely out of the way, Poppy Bush safeguards the interests that killed him; elected to Congress, Poppy lands a plum committee position, courtesy of his father; strings pulled to get Dubya into a National Guard position; Dubya goes AWOL.
Comment: Neo-Nazi J.T. Ready, associate of Russell Pearce, the sponsor of Arizona’s recent and highly controversial immigration legislation, is launching a para-military border patrol operation.
Note the resonance and political overlap between this milieu and the GOP’s Palin/Tea Party types, who use the same anti-immigrant rhetorical stance.
