Congressman Kucinich shows the energy needed to not only wake up America but the Democratic Party. A serious mistake the Dems are making is trying to be too civil to Sen. John McCain. Stop prefacing every thing with what a "good friend" he is and 'how great a man he is." Why should anyone not vote for him if even his opponents are kneeling down before him? This is politics, Democrats. Stop being wimps and start beating the Republicans back into the hole they belong.

I post this because it is important to counter the virus-like spread of Cliff Kincaid's anti-Obama propaganda. Cliff Kincaid's Aug. 15 Accuracy in Media column proclaims that the Barack Obama campaign's debunking of Jerome Corsi's Obama-bashing book "acknowledges on ... that the mysterious “Frank” in Obama’s 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, is in fact the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member Frank Marshall Davis," insisting that the admission "can only add to growing public concern about Obama’s relationship with a Communist pawn of Moscow who was the subject of security investigations by the FBI and various congressional committees which examined Soviet activities in the U.S." In an Aug. 17 column , Kincaid complains that the Obama campaign's debunking "doesn’t identify Davis as a hard-core communist and it dishonestly edits an article about Davis to eliminate references to his admitted involvement in CPUSA activities and make t...

Then Back in the early 1990's, when President Clinton tried to reform health care in the US, the middle class who were happy with their health care went spastic over the idea of a more national plan. Even the slightest whiff of Socialism has most Americans ripping their eyes out and gnashing their teeth! The old ad above got it almost right. Instead of a government plan being responsible for lack of care, it is private insurers that have raised costs and cut coverage. Suddenly, these many years later, the middle class are finding themselves being screwed out of health care.  Some how, all those "falling through the cracks" have become a concern. I hope all of you morons from the 90's who opposed any reforms are enjoying the massive bills and lack of care you are receiving now. Now I knew this a long time ago--once those with started feeling the pain, the real action would be demanded. Don't expect that action to come from John McCain! All I can say ...

Bassam Aramin writing from occupied Jerusalem, Live from Palestine, 7 August 2008   Ahmed Mousa (facing camera) photographed four hours before he was shot and killed by Israeli forces. ( palestinesolidarityproject.org )   Dear Hisam, father of Ahmed, may he rest in peace, I learned of the death of your son, Ahmed Musa , through a one-sentence newsflash on the Palestinian news station Ma'an last Tuesday: "Ahmed Musa, a young boy, was killed by a bullet of the occupying forces in Nil'in." I was immediately overcome with shock and grief and bitter tears. And above all, that relentless feeling of powerlessness that I know too well. We Palestinians cannot protect our children from being killed. Not because they are soldiers on the battlefield, but because we cannot imprison them in our homes. They must live their lives, play outside the house, go to school. We tell ourselves that there must be in our land a safe place to protect our little ones. Should not our...
