For Bernie Sanders, Party Loyalty Is a Tricky Issue

Ben Carson, Bernie Sanders Propose Different Solutions as Campus Activism Explodes

This article seems to suggest that being against racism on campus is being "politically correct," and you'll never guess who is "warning Americans about the dangers of political correctness."

The Main-Stream media continues to insist that Bernie is not the overwhelming favorite among the unwashed masses.

What is interesting about these stories is that both Alternet and Trutdig made it onto the top tier of my Google News alert.

The truly weird article on the list is from the Christian Post, The author not only seems to try and conflate the Million Student March with the University of Missouri anti-racism protests which have nothing to do with each-other, but also injects Ben Carson's warning about political correctness on campus into the article, which seems to suggest that being against racism is being politically correct.

How weird is that?

Obama’s ‘Sealed’ Records

Here is why the reporters are NOT looking into Obama's sealed records.

Well, this pretty much wraps up Ben Carson. He's resorted to repeating old right-wing false rumors from Barack Obama's campaign days.

He was caught being ambiguous but not untruthful on numerous occasions, which the media exploits by making false inferences, then turning the false inferences into false statements.

I call such activity on the part of the news media "Inference Opportunities." It may be an underhanded gimmick, but it does raise questions about Ben Carson's ability to communicate with other world leaders as President.

He must be unequivocal,

The sexist smear of Bernie Sanders

Hillary baits Bernie beautifully: “Shouting,” sexism — and the simple sorry that would make Sanders look less jerky

They tried racism, now they're trying sexism? You can read about all the details in the links.

There comes a point in time where a candidate's message is so simple, so clear and concise, that it becomes the sharpest sword on the field of battle, and can never be dulled by any ambiguity of position,

Bernie Sanders has made up my mind. Unless someone new steps in, or something truly dark from Bernie's past rears its ugly head, there really is no reason for me to follow presidential politics anymore.

The important work lies ahead. As voters we must find a Congress that will work with Bernie.

We must look into our own states and our own congressional districts to find Representatives and Senators who have the courage to endorse Bernie Sanders.

Seach Results for Kasich

I really have no words for what showed up here.

Ohio Governor John Kasich recently has been missing from my collection of news sources on Facebook, including the comments. Did he drop out of the race? I'm not sure, but the Alternative Media apparently has said all they need to say about the Ohio Governor long ago. This doesn't bode well for keeping voters informed about the candidates, especially those that don't bother to search the Internet.

Paul Krugman: Explaining US Inequality Exceptionalism

Robert Reich

How to Shrink Inequality

NJToday.net

Bernie Sanders has spent decades attacking inequality. Now the country is listening.

Princeton Professor Angus Deaton won the Nobel Prize in Economics.

A large portion of Bernie Sanders run for the White House in 2015 has been Economic Inequality. Economists Paul Krugman and Robert Reich have been writing about it for years too.

It looks like there is a growing consensus that income inequality is reaching the same ratio that predated the French Revolution that ended the reign of King Louis XVI, and later the Russian Communist Revolution that ended the reign of Tsar Nicholas II.

What's the difference between then and now? The proliferation of firearms among the American people. What's Bernie's position on guns?

So, which way do you want America to go, left or down in flames?

If Nominated, Bernie Will Win

It's not quite Sunday morning but the Sunday morning news shows should be interesting this weekend. It's becoming trendy to opine the demise of the Republican Party due to certain recent activity.

Fake Democracy Imploding the United States

In a democracy the majority of the people elect whom they want to make policy changes. The majority then makes those policy changes. If the majority of the people decide later that they made a mistake they hold elections to change the course of policy. That's what elections are for.

If people who voted for the losing side are proven right by the mistakes of the winning side, then the people will shift to their side and they will win the next election.

If people who voted for the winning side are proven right by the success of the winning side, then the people from the losing side must accept that they are wrong and participate in the successful outcome of correct policy decisions.

Why the U.S. is misrepresented as a democratic republic.

1. Most voters are conditioned to make their voting decision on the emotional pandering and empty promises of politicians. They don't think (period).

2. There are too many loopholes that allow policy gridlock and subterfuge by the losing side. The winning side is never allowed to prove the effectiveness of their proposals.

3. Most House of Representative home-districts are gerrymandered, creating Fiefdoms or miniature feudal states that include multi-generational dynasties of bureaucrats across the entire spectrum of federal, state, county and municipal, enriching themselves. This guarantees continued blocking of policy changes.

It's all smoke and mirrors anymore. The House of Representatives is full of Republican trouble-makers who are not willing to give Democrats a chance to test their policy ideas, because the Republicans know they are wrong. All they can do is use obstruction and deception to block democrats.

Republicans had their shot during the Bush Administration and instead of implementing successful public policies, they padded the Supreme Court in an attempt to cement their power, started a fake war with Iraq, And began to distort democracy into a theocratic plutocracy.

The mid-term elections of 2014 must usher out the door forever, the Republican party, or the United States will implode.

Are you in the Democracy Club?

Edie Miller’s letter Wednesday in the Illinois State Journal Register about the ERC (Evening Republican Club) is perfectly, horribly typical of most organizations.

Let’s say that you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat, Green, or Whatever. You join a local club because the other members most likely will understand you. You discover, quite by accident because someone slipped their tongue, that your club has a secret board of directors with special privileges.

Members of this mysterious board of directors often talk about their extravagant vacations, dress better than other members, have more expensive cars, or other things that the rest of the club members can only dream about.

No one else is allowed to join the Board of Directors, but the club members continue to pay their dues. They can’t stop paying their dues because they would be accused of being disloyal or “unpatriotic.”

Most of the club members either don’t realize or don’t care that they are being deliberately excluded from the luxurious benefits of the dues and profits from fundraiser for the very club to which they belong.

If you complain to the board, they would probably look askance at you and say “So start your own club. Pull yourself up by your own boot-straps.”

It fits into the definition of Fiefdom, but we’ve been pretending for the last two centuries or so that it’s a Democracy. Dream the American Dream!
