In tone, in content, in diversity, in inclusion, in size, in specificity-the differences between the two parties cannot be overstated if you just watch these two conventions
I am a therapist and the mother of three boys. Working with adolescent girls is revealing and watching mainstream media sheds light on the problems we are setting up for this generation.
The elegance of the OWS movement is that it speaks to the real disgust of Americans who feel screwed over in so many ways...
Each day there is a line around the nurses office at your elementary school. It is estimated that more than 35% of elementary aged children are medicated, most for ADD/ADHD-like "symptoms". The likelihood that this is, in fact, a real disorder of this magnitude is nil.
We all worked and fought hard to elect Obama a couple of years ago. I must admit Obama made it clear that the work wasn't over. The message and intent was clear that we could enjoy at least some advances toward a progressive agenda, a progressive and forward thinking and, even possibly ethical society. What happened? Did we not do our jobs?

GOP candidates are caricatures, TV characters-wild, odd, bizarre, "bigger than life", outrageous, dangerous. (Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin) These three are right out of a Hollywood sitcom. (not a really funny one tho)

I hear it all the time, "why can't we just be friends?" Republicans generally just don't understand why the opposing side feels passionately repulsed by their attitudes. Simply it is because Republicans want to take away rights and civil liberties not just agree to disagree, they actually interfere with societies ability to move towards self actualization. Recently we had the opportunity to experience this first hand and see how they live and think-quite illuminating, and gives some understanding as to why they don't negotiate or compromise in all dealings.
CNN, and especially Fox, are quick to try to distance nut-job Jared Loughton, Tuscon shooter from the Tea Party. They like the line "let's not make this political".
Once again we believe that the electorate has spoken. But what was their language? Sound bite reality show thinkers voted for "new and improved" no matter who and what it was...again.
