The Battle for the American Soul is Over

By Joe Bageant

Some 300 million Americans fancy themselves as middle class, chiefly because they: (A) own microwaves and a car with plastic bumpers; and (B) live in perpetual hock to MasterCard and Visa. Debt, stress and insecurity being the only observable characteristics of middle class America, they rally round those things in a show of class solidarity.

A Note of Appreciation from the Rich

By Author Unknown

Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill all those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs in our economy. And no one to fight our wars for us, or blindly follow orders in our totalitarian corporate institutions.

A Time to Break Silence

This is a must read/listen By Rev. Martin Luther King

I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values.

Ryan Van Lenning, Truthout: "The fact that our militarism has only grown significantly in the intervening decades makes it more comfortable to sweep these aspects of King's message under the national rug. With Obama mobilizing more soldiers and military contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan than Bush did, authorizing more drone attacks that have killed more innocent civilians than Bush did, expanding military bases in South America, and requesting and receiving the largest military budget ever in the history of not only this nation, but any nation in history, it is easier to simply close our collective lips about this King."

Carpe Diem

Liberty For All
by Scott Williamson

01/24/10

A New Year brings resolutions for flatter stomachs, fatter wallets, and healthier lives. As resolutions are made with hope of improving our lives, there is little in the news that seems to indicate a wealthier new year for most people. 2009 ended with a 10% jobless rate and 20 million people collecting unemployment benefits sometime in the past year. Our current two parties in power seem to think the solution is bailouts, government interference in the market, and spending money on a national credit card...
