We are facing the most incredible times in America. Some say this is the beginning of the end, others say it's a new beginning. I believe this is neither a new beginning nor is it the end. Today, this year we are witnessing history repeat itself. The politicians that have taken over Washington D.C. are taking a meat ax to the very system that has sustained the middle class from falling into poverty. There are those who have loathed the social contract fabricated by progressives for the last 100 years, and now is their time to act. They are not acting on a whim, this has been building ever since the social contract was incepted. It has been strategic and underground until 30 years ago when the first blow was swung. "Starve the beast" was the rallying cry by these operatives. Make the programs eat away at itself through reducing revenue to it, then when the debt becomes unsustainable, they will take the final blow.

In a previous post I used some information that has since been corrected on the original site, Business Insider due to in depth research into the actual OECD numbers by myself and others. It turns out that the United States spends 16.2% of our GDP on social programs, NOT 7.2%. But as I investigated further into the actual OECD numbers itself, file number, EQ5.XLS, data file EQ5.2 column (C) I have found something even more disturbing.

The tea party backed Governor, Republican Scott Walker has set his sights on stripping negotiating rights from his political opponents. His excuse is that Wisconsin is facing a deficit in the billions.

At least one Wisconsin State Rep, Mark Pocan has come out and stated it is a fabricated deficit. Now, the unions have no problem sitting down and negotiating wages and benefits, but the Governor doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to respect labor and sit down with them. Instead he wants to make benefits non-negotiable

I pray to God that a catastrophe like 9/11 or like Hurricane Katrina never happens to our Country again, but I bring this up to make a very important point.
In times of crisis, Americans come together. Politicians stop their bickering and actually get something done! Today America is still in a crisis, albeit an economic one, but a crisis none the less.

The Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) is an annual gathering of concerned conservatives. It is always a bellwether of the state of the conservative movement in general, and the American Conservative Union specifically, according to chairman of CPAC David Keene. It took place February 10-12 2011 in Washington D.C.

As time wears on, our view of history becomes blurred. It is at this juncture that those who seek to re-write history and definitions have been successful. The term fascism is being used to frame those who are liberal or liberal governments. This couldn't be further from the truth.

Free trade has decimated manufacturing and the middle class in our Country. The problem today is free trade isn't just affecting blue collar workers, it is affecting many white collar workers also, from computer engineers to corporate lawyers.

Due to many complaints about my link to my personal website, I fixed the problem. Sorry

Today's republican party is far removed from the good ol' days of Teddy Roosevelt in the 1900s Eisenhower and the 1950s. They have been taken over by corporatists and self serving billionaires. If you listen to today's GOP, you never hear about trying to increase wages for working families, expanding the social safety net to more people or the benefits of organized labor.

Since the housing bubble burst and the economic collapse, we have heard every Tom, Dick and Harry on the conservative side blame the poor people and liberal programs for it happening. I had a hard time with this fact seeing the GOP was in control of the congress until 2006 and the Presidency until 2008.

These Tea Party Constitutionalist, or should I say revisionists need to spend more time with their heads in books than in the sand. The "con" men of today have thrusted upon the public their historical envisionment of what our founders wanted.

The tragic shooting in Tucson, Arizona over the weekend, which left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a coma and six others dead, has been universally condemned both by Democrats and Republicans, as you would expect in any civilized society where violence and assassination with semi-automatic weaponry are considered inappropriate responses to political differences.
