Sometimes I wonder how Americans can be so willfully uninformed. Then a comedian like Jon Stewart takes a snippet of news and in one simple comedic analysis of the real analysis of an event, it becomes completely evident why. Many of us Liberals and Progressives like to blame mostly the Right Wing Echo Chamber of […]

Sometimes cartoon characters do the best job in expressing the stupidity of a particular position and/or ideology. Maybe this should be shared at Right Wing and Tea Party sites since it brings the non-sensical into a manner even a child could understand. At first I simply laughed with great exasperation. But after thinking a bit […]

Realizing American Ideals by Bob Henderson Chair, Kay County, OK Democrats I have been trying, for several months now, to make the case for progressive governmental policies by presenting what I believe are factual arguments. However, research shows most people base their votes on emotions, not facts. I am committed to human equality. My commitment […]

Hatred, selfishness, and division must not replace good will, sense of humanity, and innovation as the defining attributes of this nation. […]

We continuously hear Right Wing Conservatives continue to attack banking regulations. We continuously hear Right Wing Conservative Republicans talk about the market taking care of itself. We continuously hear Republicans defend bankers at all cost. The fact is that bankers creation of unregulated financial instruments are directly the cause of our near fatal crash. To […]

I received this email from my mother earlier today.
