"The two parties have combined against us to nullify our power by a ‘gentleman's agreement' of non-recognition, no matter how we vote ... May God write us down as asses if ever again we are found putting our trust in either the Republican or the Democratic Parties." -- W.E.B. DuBois (1922)

Now Playing at the Mirror On America Cinema
The Crazies - Starring Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, The Tea Partiers, and the ill informed (clueless) American voter. The summary of the actual movie doesn't seem too far off the mark. Irrationality and plain lunacy have taken over American politics and is creeping into mainstream culture. Soon American voters will return the same people to power (The Republicans) who presided over the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. In addition to having very short memories, Americans apparently don't have much in terms of brains or reasoning ability. What happened to common sense? I have absolutely no faith in the American voter. None. The crazies have definitely taken over. The ill-informed voter is the most dangerous voter of all. And now (thanks to the American education system) these folks exist in great numbers and will be making decisions for the rest of us through the ballot box. This essentially means that gridlock will become the norm. The U.S. is going to be paralyzed and held hostage by the nuts on the right for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, when the Country needs bold political leadership and action the most...when the Country will need to do big bold things as it did under Lincoln, FDR, Eisenhower, & Kennedy, this time it won't be able to respond to the great challenges that it faces. Other Countries will take the lead role instead.... while the U.S. falls behind.
The Republican Media Page
A page focusing on the Republican Right Wing media and its war against President Barack Obama and any kind of Progressive policies to move the Country forward. Yes, the Republican Party IS led by Rush Limbaugh & Co. And yes, Rush Limbaugh & Co. DOES speak for Republicans...and they have been the spokesmen & the foot soldiers for the Republican Party for years. See why their hate speech & divisive politics are so dangerous to the Country and understand their current propaganda campaign aimed at undermining President Obama and weakening his government and the Country. Hoping that Obama fails in these uncertain times = hoping that the Country fails (in the minds of these bigoted Republicans...it's all about their own political gain).

Liar In the Spotlight - Our Worst Person List
Willard Romney When is he not lying about something? He lies, misleads and flipflops whenever it's convenient. I haven't noticed anything genuine about him yet. His comment about not being concerned about the very poor was revealing (one of the few moments when he slipped up and allowed himself to be honest about something). That statement took the cake. (The idea that he could become POTUS scares the Hell out of me)

Awww. She's such a good daughter. That's precious.
Now pardon me while I barf.
Pic-ky. Pic-ky Pic-ky.
Honestly I don’t know WHY so many Americans are having a problem following Cheney’s rationale for authorizing TORTURE!?! _ (snark).
It’s just as his daughter “Liz” tried to explain. I had NO trouble at all understanding it what she was ACTUALLY saying:
In “DADDY’s world (aka “land of the little neoCONS”)_ “Evil” is good, good is down, down is around and over, over is under but Under is strong (as in chicken-hawk), strong is weak AND delusional but always, ALWAYS “right”...and h*ll, "right" is WHATEVER the neoCONS say it is.
Seeee. One need only sit back and marvel at the “new” realities “created” by “CONS” like DICK Cheney and life would be much simpler to understand_smh. People take stuff like "Truth" and "Facts" and "Rule-of-Law" and Conscience" and Accountability waay too serious. Sheesh.
Ron Suskind (former WSJ Reporter):
[In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire that the White House didn't like about Bush's former communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House's displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I didn't fully comprehend – but which I now believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency.
"The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.'
I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality – judiciously, as you will – we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.']
Poor creatures. If they weren't so Dangerous you could ALMOST feel sorry for them_smh!
Yes, she is his daughter and yes she will defend her daddy! On the flip side is she right? Is Obama weak? It is apparent that Obama is anti Bush, it is apparent that he is surrounded by Bush haters who have advise him on such tatics as releasing those documents. Is this suppose to make him a leader? We are in for a storm. Embrace yourselves people it is coming!!!
