Iraq had no nuclear weapons and was invaded, Iran doesn't as well and risks attack, yet that other "Axis of Evil" country, North Korea, reportedly does have nuclear weapons and is left alone. populist Wed, 28 Mar 2007 17:42:35 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/election_results_provide_a_boost_to_big_government As a result of Tuesday's elections, we can expect the growth in government to continue unabated - and probably to accelerate. We can be reasonably sure that the new Congress will pass a flood of bills that intrude government ever-more-deeply into our lives, as well as make government more costly. How can I be so sure? populist Wed, 08 Nov 2006 21:41:48 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/excessive_civility_can_turn_into_complicity Are we expected to be civil to any and all who in one form or another rule our lives, spiritually, politically or economically? Even when they show themselves immersed in corruption; or when we see them walking knee-deep in blood with little concern for human life? populist Fri, 05 Jan 2007 03:02:29 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/executive_privilege_and_the_presidential_veto The executive privilege has become one of the most creative political devices of the establishment for the promotion of secrecy and corruption. By declaring certain information inaccessible to all but only to the executive branch and its favored accomplices, this institution furnishes for itself a means by which it could conspire against us all. populist Fri, 07 Sep 2007 20:41:54 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/fallen_heroes_the_return_to_civilian_disability One in three homeless Americans are military vets, and that figure is compounding. One in four vets with PTSD who sought medical care from the VA, regularly experienced a two to three month wait just to see a doctor as the ratio of doctors to patients is one doctor for every 500 patients. Over 53,000 soldiers are permanently wounded to the point that they cannot resumeactive duty. populist Thu, 22 Feb 2007 19:19:33 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/fascism_the_american_way Holding the reins guiding the world's sole remaining super-power, the United States' ruling elite have seized (or perhaps created) a ripe opportunity. Preying on ignorance and fear, they have convinced many amongst the masses to sell their souls for the "security" of fascist and corporate rule. populist Tue, 03 Oct 2006 23:48:54 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/fealty_to_a_moral_abomination Sadly, the reality in the US is that there is little difference between Republicans and Democrats. While both parties give ample lip service to meeting the needs of the working class and the poor, most of the Duopoly's "elected" officials zealously devote themselves to advancing the interests of their corporate and aristocratic patrons. populist Thu, 19 Oct 2006 17:58:06 GMT http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2007/08/28/fighting-for-states-rights/ With the upcoming implementation of the Real ID Act, it appears that many states are beginning to notice that they are being outright disrespected by the federal government which is supposed to be serving them. The states gave the federal government its power, and they can take it away too if they act together. populist Wed, 29 Aug 2007 21:57:08 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/foreclosure_usa something much worse is happening and accelerating in virtually every community in all the states. In a delusional democracy with delusional prosperity we now are witnessing the proof that the ownership society is also delusional. Apparently no one has told George W. Bush populist Wed, 01 Nov 2006 00:28:16 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/free_the_schools What is the worst step that's been taken on the road to American serfdom? In my view, it was allowing government to educate our children. Given that our children learn about the world from government employees, working in a government system, it's no surprise that children grow up believing... populist Tue, 10 Oct 2006 04:45:55 GMT
