Karl Denninger helped found the Tea Party in reaction to what they initially termed “unfair practices” by the government. He believes the same phenomenon is occurring today, although it seems to be occurring on the other side of the political spectrum. Somehow this Tea Party founder has seen through the slanted news coverage depicting the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters as slacker heroine junkies that are smearing their feces all over America’s park monuments and spitting on cops. It’s only from experience that Denninger recognizes the effect of warped news coverage and the special attention given to the craziest people with the most colorful costumes and the most extreme political views.
It seems counter

Radical Tea Party Republicans have decided to use the nation’s debt ceiling in a stark raving mad display of brinkmanship that has given the financial world the jitters. We all know this, but the fact still remains that it shocked the financial and political world that any politician would be crazy enough to hold the debt ceiling hostage as a negotiating tool, let alone a whole group of insane politicians all serving in the same Congress.
The debt ceiling is set as a limit on the amount of money we pay for debt already incurred. Deciding not to raise the debt ceiling is like deciding to call up your utilities and say you aren’t

Congressman Steve Cohen, D-Tennessee, pulled out the worn Nazi label last week claiming the GOP utilize the same tactics of infamous Nazi and master propagandist Joseph Goebbels. He claims that repeating a lie over and over until the people believe the lie is a classic Nazi tactic being used successfully by Republicans who claim health care reform is actually a government takeover of health care. When confronted about comparing Republicans to Nazis, Cohen claimed he didn’t say the GOP had similar political views as the Nazis, they only made use of similar tactics.
This defense doesn’t clear Cohen of anything. Invoking the Nazi label on this issue is inherently misleading and nothing more than

The maniac that shot a Congresswoman and dozens of others in Tuscon, killing six, has put a temporary hold on American political dog fights around the country. Although this assassin’s reasoning had no basis in reality his perceived connection to American political vitriol spinning out of control is a perception that has become reality. Only temporary in duration, the usual snipers that dominate America’s political arena have fallen silent out of respect for the dead. After only a matter of days, though, the finger pointing about which party contributed most to such a violent political climate has primed the engine of political hatred to start up again with new political high ground to be

The current lame duck session of congress has revealed the true nature of American politics. Republicans easily held the new START treaty up and stretched their legs after the recent election victory by demanding an extension of the Bush tax cuts. Sticking by their delusional political philosophy and claiming the expiration of the Bush tax cuts would blunt the recovering economy, the GOP pretended to only have America’s interests at heart. In reality, Republicans have chosen which issue is the most effective in holding on to voters while gathering more and have then made that issue a priority.
All other issues of importance to America’s interest can now be blocked as a way of

George Washington warned our fledgling nation in his farewell address to the people of the United States to beware the dangers of factionalism. It seems obvious that George Washington’s fears became fully realized when our nation tore itself apart. Northern and southern brothers took up arms against each other many years ago, but did the threat of factionalism end there? Has it ever gone away?
The hateful divisive atmosphere that pervades our country is simply George Washington’s nightmare realized. After Civil War came and went with horrible loss and pain, we now have the disease of factionalism paralyzing our great nation from within. When I say this threat paralyzes us from within, I mean

We may have a case of the GOP and the Tea Party counting their eggs before they hatch, but it seems they will definitely have some eggs hatching in the House and Senate, although they’ll be rotten ones in my opinion. When politicians run for office during a midterm election with the intention of accepting no compromise whatsoever, it seems America’s taste for a deadlocked and useless legislative branch has returned. Only the results of the 2010 midterm election will paint a real picture of American opinion, but

The last decade has been a painful and confusing one and although it has taken nine years since 9/11 to fully blossom, American fear and hatred of Islam has become a threat to the United States Constitution and all of our freedoms. If that sounds shocking or confusing to some readers then let me be clear again. No religion is a threat to the U.S., especially not Islam. Islamic fundamentalists are a scourge to the global community, but the same goes for the fundamentalist sect of any religion in our country. A recent surge of religious intolerance towards Muslims, only a white capped wave reaching up from an ocean of fear, threatens the foundation

A friend of mine recently received a call from his mother. She asked him for money. No, her home wasn’t in foreclosure. No, she didn’t need the money because of a lost job or because unemployment checks were about to end. This woman isn’t even being forced out of a comfortable retirement to take a humiliating low wage job. My friend’s mother wanted the money to stock up on survival supplies because she thought Obama was going to destroy the country by this January.

Rush has already been a champion in the fight against the MSM (MainStream Media for the uninitiated), which is another word for the Liberal media. Now Rush is under attack from what will be called the “Liberal sports establishment”. Rush will now take these “Liberal jock traitors” and put them on a shelf with the MSM and Hollywood. Basically, anyone in the entertainment industry that attacks this man has become part of the Liberal establishment as will I when some people read this post. To his listeners, Rush cannot be racist. Those that think he is racist in anyway just don’t “get it”, as they say.

I’m really happy for Sarah Palin. If anyone says she doesn’t embody the American dream then they’re blinded by their hatred of her. I’ve always stayed away from Sarah Palin as a subject because shooting fish in a barrel isn’t much fun, but now I can come out and cheer on her smashing literary debut.

What is commonly referred to as the political spectrum has devolved into a confusing twisted mass of ideas that people keep rearranging in favor of their own particular viewpoint. Let’s clean out and organize the ideological closet. Some items have been mislabeled and most of them misplaced.

It’s easy to dismiss someone with a sign saying “Obama Wants to Pull the Plug on Grandma!” below a picture of him portrayed as a Nazi. Besides the obvious falsehoods involved, it begs a serious question. What kind of sign should we be making for the free market death panels that operate regularly out of every insurance outfit in the United States?

Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to William Smith in 1787 regarding a rebellion led by a farmer named Shays. In dismissing the motives of the rebels as “founded in ignorance, not wickedness” he admits the “people cannot be all, & always well informed” and this must be remedied by setting “them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them.” Jefferson then shrugs off the deaths of a few rebels with this now famous quote. “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.”

I’m sorry to have to say this, but the “birthers” need to be brought out into the spotlight. Why? The kind of people that laboriously maintain a radical conspiracy denying President Obama’s legitimacy will also contain your most dangerous nuts trying to prematurely end that presidency. Put it this way, I don’t have a problem stating that just about every violent racist/Neo-Nazi/KKK group is probably a loud and proud “birther” as well. Sure, there are some semi-intelligent racists that are using this propaganda for their cause, but that just makes this all the more insidious. Am I saying that all “birthers” are racists?

I’m kind of surprised by how stupid the President acted last week. The statement he made regarding the arrest of his friend, Professor Gates, conflicted itself completely and was more appropriate for a private discussion in the oval office, after the press conference about health care was over. We know Obama didn’t want to distract everyone from his health care offensive, so he genuinely said something dumb at the worst possible time.

We’ve just elected a liberal president right after a conservative one reacted to an unprecedented terrorist attack on US soil by compromising some of our founding values. After these founding values were challenged by George W. Bush, we all expected the pendulum to swing back the other way when Obama was elected, but this hasn’t happened. Why?
