Der stellvertretende Vorsitzende der LINKEN, Klaus Ernst fordert vor dem Spitzentreffen der Koalitionsfraktionen "mehr Wahrhaftigkeit" von der Bundesregierung. Der Aufschub aller wichtigen Entscheidungen auf die Zeit nach der NRW-Wahl Klarheit sei "Wahlbetrug mit Ansage". Ernst erklärt:

Wir brauchen mehr Wahrhaftigkeit in der Regierungspolitik. Die Regierungskoalition muss ihre Pläne in der Finanz- und Sozialpolitik noch vor der NRW-Wahl offen legen. Alles andere ist Wahlbetrug mit Ansage. Es ist aberwitzig, dass alle wichtigen Entscheidungen auf die Zeit nach der wichtigsten Wahl in den nächsten drei Jahren aufgeschoben werden sollen. Alle wissen doch, dass die Pläne längst in der Schublade liegen. Gesundheitsminister Rösler will eine kleine Kopfpauschale einführen und die kleinen Leute schröpfen. Finanzminister Schäuble will den Sozialetat rasieren und so seinen Haushalt sanieren. Und Kanzlerin Merkel hat nicht die Traute, sich dem Steuersenkungswahnsinn der FDP zu widersetzen. Da braucht man sich nicht zu wundern, wenn die Politik den Ruf von Trickbetrügern bekommt. Die NRW-Wahl ist eine Richtungswahl, weil es auch um die schwarz-gelbe Mehrheit im Bundesrat geht. Die Wähler haben ein Recht auf Klarheit.

Obama and the new Amerika

Freedom Politics
by Thomas J. Lucente Jr.

03/21/10

The health care debate is no longer about health care. It is about America and what it means to live in a free society. President Barack Obama and his congressional cohorts have abandoned everything we as a people have held dear for more than two centuries. They are running roughshod over the Constitution and ignoring the idea that certain American values are more important than accomplishing political goals...

The evil of government debt

Foundation for Economic Education
by Sheldon Richman

03/19/10

As we’ve seen in the last two TGIFs, Destutt de Tracy, writing in early nineteenth-century France, had solid insights about the market process and government spending as a form of consumption not investment. (See ‘Jefferson’s Economist’ and ‘Government as Consumer.’) In light of that, no one will be surprised that Tracy opposed government borrowing. In this day of trillion-dollar-plus federal deficits, his critique is especially relevant...

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best

Liberty For All
by Jessi Winchester

03/24/10

Never in the history of our country have there been so many people who believe they are ‘entitled’ simply because they exist. America’s current economic crisis and the exorbitant amount of personal debt is evidence of this twisted mentality. Over several generations society has taught the wrong values resulting in a populace that is totally clueless when it comes to right and wrong or basic respect for other peoples rights. We are facing the downfall of society as we know it and the price will be mind numbing...

Daan de Wit, Deep Journal: "Under President Obama, Iran continues to dominate the world agenda. Iran is being presented as a crucial problem that must be solved. The Iran Problem is one with several layers. The uppermost layer is that Iran is a potential threat to world peace. What are the facts and the fiction that make up this first layer?"

Obama Continues Bush's Iran Policy

Daan de Wit, DeepJournal: "The battle against Iran has already begun. War is only one phase of this process - just as it was with Iraq. The preparation is the most important part of the battle. Whoever thought that the preparation for war ended when Barack Obama took office is advised to take note of the views of critical thinker Noam Chomsky in the previous installment of this DeepJournal series. He says that Obama's policy on Iran is a continuation of the policy of his predecessor, President Bush."

Collateral Damages of Smart Sanctions

Ali Fathollah-Nejad, Truthout: "In contradistinction to war, sanctions are widely portrayed as necessary, almost a healthy medicine to bring about change in the opponent’s policies. However, as the history of the West–Iran conflict proves, sanctions have kept the crisis alive rather than contribute to its resolution. Nonetheless, Western governments do not seem to have lost their dubious fascination for them."

Springtime for Obama

AntiWar.Com
by Justin Raimondo

On the non-Marxist left, the triumph of the Obama cult is complete. Only the old-fashioned Leninists, such as the main organizers of the ANSWER rallies, have come out in visible opposition to Obama’s wars. Even the Marxist left, however, is not immune to Obama-mania: the other major antiwar coalition, United for Peace and Justice, led by veterans of the old Communist Party, USA, issued a euphoric statement upon Obama’s election and has been essentially moribund as an active antiwar organization ever since. It was in this kind of political atmosphere, then — one of near complete political isolation — that rally attendees heard Cindy Sheehan wonder whether ‘the honeymoon was over with that war criminal in the White House.’ Sheehan’s remark was met, according to AP, with merely ‘moderate applause’...

Whose Streets?

In 8 years of war, ranks of amputees have risen steadily

After the blast, something didn't feel right, so 1st Lt. Joe Guyton looked down. Through the swirling dust, he glimpsed the white of his left shinbone. His right leg was gone, instantly vaporized, his uniform abruptly ending at the knee.

Mit den ersten Strahlen der Frühlingssonne erwacht in der Arktis eine Eisbärenfamilie: Wird es ihr gelingen, Nahrung zu finden, bevor das lebensnotwendige Eis schmelzen wird? Am anderen Ende der Welt, in der Kalahari-Wüste, versuchen eine Elefantenkuh und ihr Junges, nach einer gefährlichen Wanderung das lebensrettende Wasserloch zu erreichen. Eine Buckelwalmutter muss es schaffen, ihr Jungtier sicher vom Äquator bis zur Arktis zu bringen - eine Distanz von 6000 Kilometern.
