The only Democrat in the last century who did not bomb anyone was Jimmy Carter.* The Democrats have been a war party since Woodrow Wilson, a hundred years ago. The only real effort to change that was in 1968 with the campaigns of Eugene McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy. The anti-war wing of the party was…
All but 28 Democrats in the House voted against fast tracking the TPP. All but 50 Republicans voted for it. Fast track (known as Trade Promotion Authority) passed 218-210. It must now be submitted for ratification to both the House and the Senate for TPP to become law. Fast tracking TPP means that the Senate…
The propaganda is so thorough, so pervasive, so ubiquitous, and so complete, that even the most impoverished Americans believe that capitalism is synonymous with freedom. Free enterprise, free markets, free trade, are Pavlovian bells which cause the multitudes to salivate in agreement. Little wonder that the left in America is ineffective, impotent, and marginalized.

Quite aside from the time and effort, like most I am emotionally invested in Sanders for president. I am unalterably opposed to Hillary Clinton and am firmly in the Bernie…
An outrageous statement? Of course. But that is the exact rationale for Hillary staying in the race against Barack Obama in 2008. Hillary only endorsed Obama after extracting a number of concessions from him: that he would not nominate a woman as vice president, that he would name Hillary as Secretary of State, that he…
