Debt Madness Was Always About Killing Social Security

Thursday 28 July 2011

by: Robert Scheer, Truthdig | Op-Ed

This phony debt crisis has now passed through the looking glass into the realm where madness reigns. What should have been an uneventful moment in which lawmakers make good on the nation's contractual obligations has instead been seized upon by Republican hypocrites as a moment to settle ideological scores that have nothing to do with the debt.

Ernie Paniccioli needs your help

Here is a bit of sad news.  Legendary Hip Hop photographer Ernie Paniccioli has cancer and over the next 5 weeks will be doing radiation therapy 5 days a week. He has already incurred medical bills over $40,000. If you could help promote this page in any way or give any amount regardless of how small, we would really appreciate it. Currently he has over 4 thousand friends on Facebook. If each person donated $10 we could raise 40k almost immediately. Please feel free to donate more, but if all you can donate is a couple dollars or even ONE dollar, that will help. Let's show Ernie that Hip Hop takes care of its own!

BREAKING NEWS: Obama Certifies End to Military’s Gay Ban

LIVE YOUR LIFE: Obama has formally ended the ban on gays serving openly in the military, with repeal to take effect in 60 days.

Time for the Crabs to Change!!!

The only way to make real change without the majority in congress (and by that I mean at least 60% not the 48-49% Obama had on his best day) is to destroy the republic and establish a Monarchy. How many are gonna stand in line and be counted for that?

We The People???

Mico, a fellow artist, social activist and associate of mine made two very astute and profound statements recently. I am not sure if it originated with him or not, but because he is such creative and brilliant thinker I am inclined to believe he is the creator. “Being an immigrant is not illegal” and “The constitution does not say ‘we the Citizens of the United States of America’ it states, we the people”

Six Ways to Liberate America From Wall Street Rule

How is it that our nation is awash in money, but too broke to provide jobs and services? David Korten introduces a landmark new report, "How to Liberate America from Wall Street Rule."

The dominant story of the current political debate is that the government is broke. We can’t afford to pay for public services, put people to work, or service the public debt. Yet as a nation, we are awash in money. A defective system of money, banking, and finance just puts it in the wrong places.

Raising taxes on the rich and implementing financial reforms are essential elements of the solution to our seemingly intractable fiscal and economic crisis. Yet proposals currently on the table fall far short of the need.

Cops Beat Up Teen After He Says “It Smells Like Doo Doo”

A Bronx teen said two cops roughed him up when he mouthed off after one of them stepped in a pile of dog doo. Never knew you couldn’t speak your mind when cops were present…I know now for future!

Open Letter To All Gang Members from The KKK

This article has been floating around the internet for awhile. I feel sure it was not authentically written by the Klan, but the points made in it definitely make it worth the read. Strip away the sarcasm intended by the author and you are left with a bunch of sad and scary but all too true statements about Black America. I just hope that it opens the eyes of at least one person to the negative impact of Black on Black violence in America. It is a crisis people.

Single mothers

This subject is going to piss a lot of people off, but I really do not care. Someone with a lick of sense has to have the balls to say what so many know to be true. Single mothers are destroying this country. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not blaming any single mom and my aim is not to vilify the single mom. My aim is to deglamourize the single mom.

Casey Who???

People ask me why I am so belligerent about the Casey Anthony trial... Allow me to let you see through my eyes for a moment as I explain why. During much of the same time as Casey Anthony search, investigation and trial there was a Man in Mississippi fighting for HIS life. He too ended up in jail for murder... His crime??? He was a black man who shot and killed a white cop. I know some of you smart asses are thinking, “isn’t that what y’all do best”? LOL
