  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Sarah Palin Aside

[video: 320x240][video: 320x240][video: 320x240]

Sarah Palin aside, what seems to be happening in politics is that the corporate own press is making public opinion focus on non-issues like sex appeal and gossip instead of foreign policy and domestic economics. As long as the public is fighting over non-issues then big oil is off the hook and George Bush gets away with murder. Notice how timely the price of gasoline has fallen and the big response to hurricane warnings. The Republicans are dead in the waters in the up coming elections Sarah Palin will not save them and they know it, but when will the American masses wake up and smell the coffee the 'Neocons' are brewing. This election may very well be our last free election where the masses have a say in who leads the nation. Should by fluke the Republicans stay in office, they will seek to destroy our government by proving the inability of the federal government to function effectively and call for more privatization of government functions and more corporatocracy/plutocracy to benefit the super-rich, while the masses suffer. Our country is teetering on the edge of a violent political reaction, which nobody wants to talk about coming, if reforms fails to take hold in this next election. Fight The Machine and Fight The Power!
