Newt Gingrich Tells Occupiers To Get A Job After Taking A Bath

Newt Gingrich seems to think being clever or funny while over looking the inequalities, corruption and predatory aspects of the system is being a good leader. I will concede that Newt’s statement was a pretty impressive display of assholery. I do reject though that the Occupy Wall Street protests and protestors feel entitled to a free ride. “All the occupy movements starts with a premise that we all owe them everything.” -Newt Gingrich Not only is Newt’s assessment purposefully ignorant of the reality the 99% face in this country at the hands of those he seeks to protect or ally...

Jack Abramoff opens up to 60 Minutes about lobbyist and government corruption

Former powerful lobbyist Jack Abramoff sat down with 60 Minutes to explain how lobbyists and politicians butt rape democracy and the American people. The interview, “Jack Abramoff: The lobbyist’s playbook”, is disgusting on several levels. The least of which is 60 Minutes interviewer Lesley Stahl’s reactions that either show how completely oblivious she is or how bad she did in college theater with her weak attempt at overcoming disingenuous shock responses. Nothing Jack says here is all that surprising is it? I find it a poor excuse from those involved to say they didn’t think they were doing anything all that wrong. ” I was...

Sabotage: The Story Behind The Republican Party’s “Top Political Priority” Ok let me preface the video first by saying that I am fully aware that anyone can edit footage or twist words to make them say or how what they want. My interest is not about propaganda or the silly spy vs spy game the two parties perpetually participate in. This video posted to YouTube, “Sabotage: The Story Behind The Republican Party’s “Top Political Priority””, caught my attention because it layed out what the Republican mindset has been during these recent times. If we can be honest and look at...

Will Senate Democrats protect Medicare and Medicaid?

There is a petition going around to get Senate Democrats to commit to a position on cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. So far, many have been tight-lipped about their stance on the subject. This is one of the biggest problems with the Democrats. They are too weak to take a position. The Republican party and, their illegitimate child, the Tea Party, may be bat shit crazy but they have resolve. Tell your Senator to answer the question: “Will you support cuts to our Medicare or Medicaid benefits? Yes or no?” Earlier this month, we hand delivered a letter to the...

Bloomberg backs down on Occupy Wall Street “cleaning” eviction

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, billionaire (roughly $18 billion) and 13th richest person in the United States, announced a few days ago that the Wall Street occupiers needed to leave for a few days so that the park could be “cleaned”. Brookfield Properties, the owner of the park, said the park had become unsanitary since the occupation began so it needed to be power washed. Ok, fair enough on the park needing to be cleaned. That many people in such a closed space will cause that to be necessary. However they apparently weren’t extending the fairness of assumption of...
