That Shining City...And The Ghetto Below

by RF Schatten When Ronald Reagan's “Shining City On A Hill” hit the airwaves...everyone, suddenly felt so much confidence about what direction, we as a Nation, were headed. “It's Morning Again in America!” , his ads would say. Well...at least, some people did believe, that America was turning 'that' corner, where prosperity was just at your finger tips ...others, knew better. But, the general belief then, was that we...as a Nation, were indeed headed on that right path...to better and more prosperous times. But, here in this Country, we live in a constant state of Political Metaphors...what the American public, didn't really understand was, that the prosperity...so romantically and eloquently stated...really applied to those who are prosperous...the economically advantaged. Trickle Down Economics!! Set an economic structure, that those in the loop, will be handsomely rewarded...whatever is left, will 'trickle' down to everyone else...but, appa...

The New Fourth Reich

 By Darwin Phillips I awakened this morning to a most informative and accurate portrayal of what we are indeed facing once again in this world of cycles, I must have nodded off last night with the TV on, as I woke up to Spencer Tracy and Burt Lancaster in "Judgement at Nuremberg". I had much to do, but was captivated by the incredible cast of actors and actresses as well as the subject matter, as I watched it became blazingly clear that we are yet again deeply ensconced in the trials and tribulations of that era, in other words what was happening then is again happening now, much the same as the correlation between our War in Iraq and the Police Action that was Vietnam, It became very clear that the Nazi's of that day are here among us yet today, just as the great inspiring words of Martin Luther King, the Kennedy's, and many others survive in the hearts and minds of our people, the evil insanity of a Hitler does as well for others, we must not forget the realit...

Our Time, Is Coming Around Again

by David Arellanes Bush and his poster children: Cheney, Rove, etc. have cost us, the middle class tax payers, $3,000,000,000.00 !!! THREE TRILLION DOLLARS! The Koch Bros. and Murdoch, and Cheney through Halliburton and Blackwater have made $$MILLIONS$$ off the backs of the middle class and poor. WE are all sick of their lies, theft, and outright fraud committed on the American people. They have caused the deaths of thousands of our brave American service men and women. NEEDLESSLY! BUSH and CHENEY started the IRAQ war to take the natural resources of Iraq, in the form of the oil, for their business buds in the oil industry. Their other corporate buds from black ops to the war manufacturing machine have made trillions at the expense of our lives and dollars. They have caused the deaths of ten-of-thousands of innocent people across Iraq and Afghanistan. We will NOT start another war for the WAR PROFITEERS to make trillions more for their own pockets. They will try to use their usual po...
