This was a very well done press conference by President Obama, the governor of Alabama, and the mayor of Tuscaloosa. Note that this President did not take several days to see the damage or acknowledge the damage as did Simulated President George Bush. This President showed that irrespective of loyalties he went into the lion’s den, a region that Right Wing media has indoctrinated into hating this President and turning him into a caricature he is not. What this press conference did was to have Alabamians see a concerned President that is intent on leading irrespective of the minutia surrounding this competent man. If the President continues his drive to be closer to the middle class not only will he be undefeatable in 2012 but the country will eventually move forward.

GOP Potential Republican Candidate Donald Trump in a speech in Las Vegas this week curses, using the F-Bomb. Now think about this, had this been Obama can you see the supposedly Liberal Media playing it 24/7. I can already hear CNN questioning whether it is presidential to speak like that. I can see FoxNews breaking into regular programing with a FOXALERT to let us know that the president has demeaned the office of the presidency and should be impeached. The fact that this charlatan has garnered the coverage he has garnered is shameful. He must be addressed head on however. Since the press is giving him free access to promote racism and angst among Americans, thinking people must correct and mitigate his poison toe for toe. Shame on our media for having created this monster.   My Book: As I See It: Class Warfare The Only Resort To Right Wing Doom Book’s Webpage: http://bit.ly/aB9Zkz - Twitter: http://twitter.com/egbertowillies … [Read more...]

It is a pleasant surprise but a welcome surprise to see a knowledgeable but civil middle class finally rise up against the continued bad policy by the Republican congress people. The Republican politicians really believed they had a mandate to pilfer the middle class. Problem is that they are completely reading Americans incorrectly. Unfortunately the real informed middle class did not vote in November. They were complacent and took the Tea Party for granted. They simple could not believe that some uniformed kooks could possibly change the balance of power. Reality is that they did and it is the fault of the Progressives that we will have two years of virtual inaction till we takeover the government again. It is imperative that we build momentum now through 2012. We must keep the populace informed often, quickly, and effectively lest the charlatans that has become the Republican party will continue their destruction of the country.

A friend emailed me this note a few hours ago and it got me to thinking. I have been to several Tea Party events. They have been progressively getting smaller and less confrontational. Here in Texas, we have a budget problem caused by a structural defect in revenue acquisition. In other words we make Texas open for business by being one of the lowest tax states in the country. As such our education budget, healthcare budget, transportation budget, security budget, and every other governmental programs critical to the middle class and most citizens in general are being cut draconically. As Texas races to the bottom in services to its citizens the companies it attracted will leave as soon as it uses up the pool of citizens that were educated and invested in by previous forward thinking Texas governments. Interesting enough not even Paul Ryan can get support for his budget from the Tea Party. You see, these guys want small government till it takes away a program dear to their hearts.

Contribution by Stevie Kirby Opening a restaurant is fraught with a lot of challenges you don't really consider until you're an entrepreneur. For example, getting a website off the ground is a huge undertaking, as is making sure all your taxes are in order, especially if you're hiring staff. After you take care of that, there are of course, the construction issues and inventory problems to deal with. It just never ends. I for one never thought about how we were going to process credit cards until a week before we opened, way too l! ate to get started. I found a site, bank-card-processing.com, where I could do some research on the different options and luckily it wasn't too late to actually get something implemented before opening day. Now that the business is no longer in the planning stages there are still challenges that pop up all the time, but nothing compares to how difficult it was to even get the doors open in the first place. I think I lost several years off my life trying to get this restaurant … [Read more...]

Willful ignorance is bliss. Republicans will refuse to read factual information because it puts into context the fact that their policies unsustainable. Willful ignorance can generally be ignored. When it comes to the survival of a nation it is evil. When it materially hurts the middle class it is evil. When it runs the real risk of creating a real death panel for not only grandma but every middle class American, it is evil. As it turns out, President Obama is not even close to being the big spender the Republicans have been expounding. In fact his big spending causation is mostly for the irresponsible and catastrophic state supply side economics have left the country in.

It is about time. Many on the Right revel in quoting the Bible to justify their ways. For years I have been advocating that Liberals use the bible against the Right for their provably non-biblical ways. In fact back in 2004 I wrote a blog calling the Right the new Pharisees. I gave detailed reasons why the policies on the Right has nothing to do with what Jesus Christ stood for. Unfortunately because Liberals tend to run from anything religious in public however religious or spiritual they are, they have ceded the access to misinformation to the Republican constituency. Lawrence O’Donnell finally broke the mold today. I was so proud I had to record it with my phone as I was not taping the program today and wanted to get it disseminated as soon as possible. He methodically annihilated the ignorant rant of Rush Limbaugh in no uncertain terms. He made Rush sound and look like what he is, a spoiled overpaid little boy.     My Book: As I See It: Class Warfare The Only Resort To Right Wing … [Read more...]
