National economy shrinks in fourth quarter
Don, one thing is certain, media like Fox and the Manchester U-T Journal of Intolerance and Exploitation will continue to make things worse for 99% of us. We still have a long way to go to achieve permanent economic recovery from the GWB-GOP era disasters because of the destructive special interests that Ike warned us about clear back in 1961 in his Farewell Address.— January 30, 2013 12:41 p.m.
Economy 2013 "maddeningly slow"
It's great to read that Wal-Mart is doing the right thing by committing to hiring 100,000 war veterans, this is an example that all other American corporations must implement immediately because we owe everything to veterans for risking their lives to protect America . Capitalists keep saying this is the greatest economic system in history so it is way past due time they proved it again by returning America to prosperity in 2013 instead of continuing to spend billions buying and controlling politicians and judges to make only themselves richer at the expense of the American way of life and economy. Wal-Mart can set another important example by returning to its founder's "Made In America" motto that Sam Walton built his corporation with instead of indenturing their employees and exporting manufacturing to Asia that his destructively greedy descendants have been outrageously enriching themselves with using their new motto of "Selling Out America."— January 18, 2013 1:23 p.m.
Economy 2013 "maddeningly slow"
Don, the most important fact to realize is that our military servicemen/women are the finest citizens that America has, especially because they risk their lives to protect America and the world from tyranny, terrorism and dictatorship. But I also remember that General of the Army/President Eisenhower cut back on the military and even warned us about the military-industrial complex one more time in his 1961 Farewell Address. We have paid a high price for the marginalization of Ike's grave warnings, especially when the Bush administration sent our military into Iraq without proper training, leadership, equipment and justification for going there in the first place. The military deserves the very best we can give them, and we must never allow to be misused again.— January 18, 2013 6:46 a.m.
Guns: Meese warns Obama could be impeached
I agree Don, but don't forget that it is the electorate that allows political parties to produce "leaders' (whose) lives revolve around greed and coverups of their transgressions" that are the only choices we are given to vote for. That's why I pray that the new communications technologies will allow the newest generations to take control of our Democracy away from the culture of "greed and coverup".— January 18, 2013 6:28 a.m.
Guns: Meese warns Obama could be impeached
I still have to believe that our Founding Fathers were a hell of a lot busier in their daily lives and dedicated to Democracy than the indentured servants our politicians have allowed themselves to devolve into today, especially since life itself was a whole lot more dangerous until they beat the British, especially those heroes and patriots that signed their names to the Declaration of Independence and thus risked everything to create the United States of America. We just don't have those kind of people in Washington today, except for war veterans who are now congressmen/women.— January 18, 2013 6:19 a.m.
Guns: Meese warns Obama could be impeached
Frankly Don, I have no hope as long as Christians fail to stop their clergy from molesting children, as long as politicians and judges fail to protect children from being murdered and starved while they indenture themselves to special interests, alumni who allow professors to fail to meet the challenges of change while enriching themselves with tenure that allows them to cease working for a living, and an electorate that fails to demand that our politicians and judges cease indenturing themselves to satisfy their avarice, because we are getting what we deserve today.— January 17, 2013 11:45 a.m.
Guns: Meese warns Obama could be impeached
Actually Don and SP, I have absolutely no respect for either political party so I am a registered nonpartisan voter. Both parties have failed to meet the needs of American Democracy, and both are responsible for our current decline and fall failure mode. Republicans and democrats have both not only failed to honor our the legacy of Founding Fathers, and they have failed to honor the legacy passed on to us by every hero and patriot who has ever risked their life fighting for American Democracy. I gravely fear that If we don't produce and elect some Founding Father class politicians very soon, then American Democracy is not going to survive much longer. Actually, a worst case root cause of the failure of our political system is that our universities and religions have totally failed for far too long to produce enough politicians with integrity and morality to protect American Democracy today.— January 17, 2013 10:19 a.m.
Guns: Meese warns Obama could be impeached
There are a lot of very good people who are NRA members and we can only hope that they send protests to the NRA extremist leaders who make them all look bad, or resign from the NRA if the extremists continue with their Fear and Hate propaganda.— January 17, 2013 7:51 a.m.
Guns: Meese warns Obama could be impeached
Tragically, your comment is an excellent reality check Don. It doesn't help that we have the new "Fear and Hate 'R' Us" culture (including Fox, U-T, Tea Party and NRA) to drive us further on the road to chaos every day. The best hope for the future for our newest generations appears to be the latest communications technologies that allow people around the world to communicate to discuss problems and expedite solutions to counteract the Fear and Hate culture that makes poverty, global warming, fear and hate more destructive for the future of the human race every day.— January 17, 2013 6:23 a.m.
Guns: Meese warns Obama could be impeached
With continuous attacks by the Tea Party and NRA along with a dysfunctional congress and supreme court, we are as close to civil war as we have been since the Civil War. Fear and Hate propaganda may have already surpassed the highest level since the Civil Rights legislation in the 60s. The current level of social and political chaos makes it appear that all of our institutions, including academic and religious institutions, have failed to produce enough leaders to protect American Democracy. May God Bless America, because we need all the help we can get.— January 16, 2013 3:40 p.m.
