Who Won The Ideology Wars?

By David Michael Green

Who could have imagined, six months ago, that the ideology of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney would be poised for a comeback, perhaps in an even more toxic form than what we suffered through these last eight years? But that is, indeed, precisely where we find ourselves.

EXTRA! Read all about it in the Washington Post: Torture worked; Cheney and torture practitioners vindicated; morale at CIA harmed.

Dean Baker, Truthout: "Members of Congress are responsible for getting the policy right, not doing what the CBO tells them. This means that if they have reason to believe that a CBO projection in a specific area is wrong, they should act based on their judgment, not on the CBO projection. Constituents have every right to hold their representatives in contempt if they try to blame their mistaken judgments on the CBO projections. Members of Congress get paid for getting the policy right, not listening to the CBO."

Defends actions as justifiable and says suspension is "playing politics"

A New York sheriff's deputy has defended his actions in tasering a woman in front of her two young children, and says that the decision to suspend him for thirty days came only after the story made national headlines earlier this month.

Parenting with a Taser … the police way

WendyMcElroy.Com
by Wendy McElroy

11/19/09

Tasing a disobedient 10-year-old must be a welcomed relief from dealing with real criminals — you know the violent adults who rape and rob and might be actually dangerous. Bradshaw claims the child, inresisting arrest, kicked him in the groin and, so, presumably was a threat to him. (Yet I note he got permission to tase the girl before he tried to haul her off to jail.) With greater PR savvy, the police chief stated that tasing the girl was for her own good to keep her ‘from hurting herself.’ Yep … being jolted with a blast electricity that has caused heart attacks in adults, being arrested and thrown into juvie detention while facing court charges are all in a young child’s best interests. If she didn’t have psychological problems before, she certainly will have them now. Of course, if the mother herself had tased the girl, she would be in jail on child endangerment or abuse charges … and properly so...

„Eine Studie der Commerzbank versucht das schier Unfassbare mit einer Zahl greifbar zu machen: Die Kosten der weltweiten Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise taxiert das Institut auf 10,5 Billionen Dollar (7,3 Billionen Euro) bis Ende des Jahres. Das wären 1 500 Euro pro Erdenbürger. Auch für Deutschland errechneten die Volkswirte die Verluste durch die Finanzkrise�“ Artikel im Handelsblatt vom 29.08.2009 http://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/nachrichten/finanzkrise-kostet-ueber-10-billionen-dollar;2450612



Der Süden zahlt die Zeche. Die Finanzkrise trifft die armen Länder mit voller Wucht

„Bei Prognosen über den Verlauf der globalen Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise ist Vorsicht angesagt. Doch eines ist zweifelsfrei: Die Armen in den Ländern des Südens werden die hauptsächlichen VerliererInnen sein. Kein soziales Sicherungsnetz wird die Folgen für den Einzelnen abfedern, kein Konjunkturprogramm die Wirtschaft ankurbeln…“ Artikel von Martin Ling in ak - analyse & kritik - zeitung für linke Debatte und Praxis vom 21.8.2009 http://www.akweb.de/ak_s/ak541/24.htm
