Another Sign of the Times: Hungarian Government Implements Forced Labor Program
COMMENT: The right wing government of Hungary continues to manifest programs and ideological pronouncements disturbingly reminiscent of that country’s past–a fascist nation allied with the Axis in World War II.

Now that nation has [...]
“That’s the Way to Do It!”: Fascism, That Is (with apologies to Dire Straits)

COMMENT: In the wake of the shooting in Arizona, many unanswered (and often unasked) questions suggest themselves. To do justice to the event will require more time and analysis than can be put into a Food For Thought post.
Sufficient analysis and discussion will necessarily have to wait for a For The Record program and [...]
Rolling Back the New Deal, Trashing the United States, Roiling International Financial Waters
Comment: The “deficit reduction” proposals now being presented by the “bipartisan” commission on the budget are, simply put, a frontal assault on the New Deal, the American people and the country itself.
Former GOP senator (Wyoming) Alan Simpson has sounded a battle cry to gut social security, raise taxes for the bottom 80% of the population, [...]
