What’s distinctive about the Tea Party is its anarchist streak — its antagonism toward any authority, its belligerent self-expression, and its lack of any coherent program or alternative to the policies it condemns,” warns Jacob Weisberg in Newsweek. But why not three cheers for the Tea Party Express?
[...]
Unfortunately they’re tone deaf. Congress cannot see past the election. All that changes in November.So thanks Tea Party, Vegas odds must favor a Second American Revolution. Actually, the revolution is already roaring, hot, it’s about time. The GOP and the Dems had more than a decade. But America’s worse off. We need a real revolution to restore sanity … or we can kiss democracy and capitalism good-bye, permanently.
Yes, big warning, the Second American Revolution will extract painful austerity, not the “happy days are here again” future touted by tea-baggers. For years it’ll be impossible for most of America’s 95 million investors to develop a successful investment or logical retirement strategy. [...] So if you think you’re “mad as hell” now, “you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!”
Here’s the timeline:
Stage 1: The Dems just put the nail in their coffin by confirming they are wimps, refusing to force the GOP to filibuster the Bush tax cuts for America’s richest.
Stage 2: The GOP takes over the House, expanding its war to destroy Obama with its new policy of “complete gridlock,” even “shutting down government.”
Stage 3: Obama goes lame-duck.
Stage 4: The GOP wins back the White House and Senate in 2012. Health care returns to insurers. Free market financial deregulation returns.
Stage 5: Under the new president, Wall Street’s insatiable greed triggers the catastrophic third meltdown of the 21st century Shiller predicted, with defaults on dollar-denominated debt.
Stage 6: The Second American Revolution explodes into a brutal full-scale class war rebelling against the out-of-touch, out-of-control greedy conspiracy-of-the-rich now running America.
Stage 7: Domestic class warfare is compounded by Pentagon’s prediction that by 2020 “an ancient pattern of desperate, all-out wars over food, water, and energy supplies would emerge” worldwide and “warfare is defining human life.”What’s behind our 2010-2020 countdown? It became obvious after reading the brilliant but bleak “Decadence of Election 2010” report by Prof. Peter Morici, former chief economist at the International Trade Commission. He sees no hope from America’s political parties, just a dark scenario ahead.

You just can’t force yourself to see it can you.

Justices, 5-4, Reject Corporate Spending Limit

“Though the decision does not directly address them, its logic also applies to the labor unions that are often at political odds with big business.”
Why do you think being against unlimited corporate political spending means we’d support it if unions can do it too?
Any “special interest group” can drown out the peoples will if they can spend enough. It doesn’t even cost that much, apparently.
Publicly funded campaigns would be a good start.
Pedro–are you actually so simple minded to post as if having a majority representation in Congress gives a party “control” or do you just think we are all that stupid and you are just that lazy?
Nextlie==ditto with idea that Union spending anywhere near approaches Corporate spending.
Two peas in a pod, Dumb and Dumberer. Where’s Alfie for the Trifecta?
Statism must die…including that supported by crony capitalists, who love regulation now that their enterprise is able to absorb the increased costs of hyper regulation.
Uncle Dave fools no one, he is an Obamacon, perhaps even one of Kagan’s Government deskewers, those who love to misdirect attention from the issues to statist progressive schemes that are exceedingly harmful to the country and our personal liberty.
The ironic thing, if Uncle Dave & crew get what they want, the resulting tyranny would be so oppressing they would long for the day when Government didn’t care what people said.
#83 Bobbo! You mispelled booboo again!
The party controlling congress since 2007 owns this recession/depression, they caused it via fannie freddie, their “affordable housing” theft of US treasury for votes.
Now they open our borders to “undocumented democrats.”
We won’t forget your crimes…when re retake the house, the investigations will commence.
Get the popcorn ready.
Gosh, revisionist history from both sides. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing.
#83 Could it be because that majority doesn’t even convince their own party members to vote on something? Pathetic!
Next-up, you’ll tell us that having a president is not enough to run the executive branch
Oh brother. Nothing will go right because the Democrats aren’t being Democrats. What crap.
No one is in the mood for a revolution. We just want better wages and more employment options. This isn’t hard to bring about; we just have to convince the country that the global economy is not the alter of wealth.
Well, you all certainly talk like tough guys, that’s been amusing to read here. That and now we know who aspires to write the next ‘Turner Diaries’ tripe or who still reads it. History shows that the Democrats had a Surplus and then the Republicans raped the heck out of creating this Depression we’re in now. Both sides participated in raping the American worker with talk and action toward the world free trade of ‘Globalization’ so now we have China eating our lunch. Both sides lie to you no matter whose side you’re on – Small Government? Don’t recall any Republicans in power ever doing anything but growing the government. End of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell? Two Democrats in office and no end in sight. They all lie and all get away with by pointing at the other guy.
