I have been trying to get on the air to talk with Thom about this short interview with Tom Hayden. What is the best way to get on the air?
I found Tom Hayden's definition of "progressives" to be quite interesting, and indeed this is an area of much confusion in our political discourse. What is a "liberal", a "leftist", or a "progressive" anyway? Some people conflate the terms, but there are important differences.
Also, I am interested in discussing the comments that appear on discussion boards in response to articles like the one Tom Hayden published on Common Dreams entitled, "Saving Obama, Saving Ourselves."
on 9/11? uh, my birthday? oh yeah i remember! I thought it was the day that as a society of gluts and pigs that somehow we would finally be humbled. Even wrote a nice little poem that hung in my shop window almost up until Christmas, that many a passer by asked to have a copy of until one day one of the glut-pigs (my superior) told me to remove it from the window. 11 years since? America is no longer home of free and brave its more like a land of cowards, political crooks and cranks and selfish little pigs. A me,me,me sort of place. the rich get richer the poor get poorer people screwin' anyone they can to get ahead and soldiers slog off to a forgotten war and our elected officials just keep pissin' in the wind as the little red dog continue to brainwash the mindless minions. And me? just angry at myself for not making the gajillions i wanted to so i could buy a way into the lime light and shoot my mouth off about the idiocy of the whole thing! meanwhile in chicago yet again the pigs are sticking it to the working stiffs as we seemingly continue our social downward spiral. can't give the educators a 2% hike yet administrators and others in the education system get monster hikes? WTF! Man todays my birthday! I never thought at fitty i would have such a bad taste in my mouth over what "we" the once united now divided states have become, truly,truly sad. but as all pressing on so shall I, just hope those pigs don't make off with the rest of money while i'm sleeping in the night....
one last thing in looking at the Chicago thing? it appears someone wants us all working for minimum wage, huh?
Without a doubt -- YES, the Bush administration did not pay attention to the many warnings. Ignored them anticipating that it wouldn't be real bad. Remember, Condelissa shockingly making the statement --They did use planes. So many things could have been different but despite the horriable tragic loss, we now DO realize it is imperative to stay alert no matter how small the warnings may be.
The 911 Timeline showed long ago that the Bush admin had warnings from other countries and other intelligence agencies. They did not go on high alert.. The airlines escape blame but they should not.. The highjackers walked through unmanned security gates that did not havet metal detectors. .
I remember so well the arrogance of the Bush administration. They were contemptuous of everything that Clinton and his administration did to warn them about al qaeda. Bush and Cheney went right on with their indifference until we were attacked. Richard Clark also tried to warn the Bush administration but got nowhere.
I think, like the Dems we should be thinking "forward" and put all our efforts into making sure this doesn't ever happen again. The only people to blame are the ones who hijacked those planes and crashed them into those buildings.
I heard the Obama and Romney campaigns have suspended negative advertising for the day, but I saw a black bus with "OBAMA'S FAILING" written all over it.
Cut to the Chase, My view is very much in line with most everyone on this blog. Thank you for introducing me to Dr. Jill Stein. Watched two video’s that present the Green Party. Straightaway, I like her. Would I vote for her? Perhaps, I will explain. Most of her issues are in line with mine. But, be sure those in power right now will not give it up to her easily.
As odd as it may seem those in power would likely arrest her and jail her similarly as they did Rod Blagojevich. In my perspective shooting your mouth off over the telephone or communicating on a blog like this is not grounds to jail someone. But it happens. Even if one talks about making money in a scandalous way it is perpetrated through the theater openly in our social arena constantly. However, from what I read, one needs to take the payoff, yet in Blago’s case no money changed hands.
Anyway, for those who think we are going into a fascist society, from my view, America is partially there, or largely there now. Corporate America has its thousands of little islands of fascist tyrannies. Those University persons with MBA’s are the lieutenants wearing varied corporate icons of that famous swastika, some masquerade like a Pepsi ying yang icon. For those of you who don’t know there are few history books left that fully describe the Bush family going back to grandpa Prescott Bush in complicity with the Nazi during world war two. With big corporate America financing the Nazi during their rise. Mr. Loren Bliss perhaps knows if this is true, for me, just beginning to understand this ugly history these past few years. I am enraged to find out that Bush and Cheney have been business partners with the Bin Laden family for decades, and the media lied to America about it. That’s the kicker they the media must lie notoriously, brag, faithless, slander, and obsessively lie. There is no going back.
Three main cable networks Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC, they are the vehicle of the big money rewriting history. Consider this: Fox News owned by Richard Murdock, which I consider a dangerous man for social development. With of course the Arabs with an interest in the Fox news medium kept just below the radar so American’s are blacked out that they are a huge influence. This Islamic investment American should know has the core believe that American’s are infidels and should be wiped off the earth. Imagine the influence in the programming that goes into the Fox News. In the middle CNN, Ted Turner, The Paladin of news telecasting, have network will broadcast for money Cable Turner. Then with the shining star MSNBC giving Americans everything they want to hear, yet are the flip misters that change faster than a Shakespeare play. All’s well that ends well. The biggest contradiction of any age is the double knowledge of all histories of our secret federal reserve delivered via Andrea Mitchell wife of former federal reserve board chairman Allen Greenspan. With that and all the while to understand the largest corporation in America General Electric the icon of Ronald Reagan where progress is their most important product is incredible in your face programming. Especially when Americans do keep buying insurance from the Geico lizard, we know they are of the moppet government society. (Sock government), chuckle.
Jill Stein would have to kick a lot ass to do what she wants. I won’t go into what I really think for now but the other green video about the railroads will not happen unless Dr. Stein has the courage as she said one must have. Dr. Stein would have to commandeer the railroad system to do what she wants to do for national security reasons. It is possible. But it will be “HELL ON WHEELS”. This is a huge industrial complex that is corrupt and has been a cash cow for congress and the senate for a hundred and fifty years, just as the Federal Reserve.
Explosive Evidence: Experts Speak Out is a very important documentary. I hope Thom will take calls from the 9/11 Truth community. If I'm crazy for believing the scientific theory that WTC 1, 2 & 7 were demolished via controlled demolition, I see no reason to believe that global warming exists or smoking causes cancer. I don't like the inescapable inside job implications any more than anyone else does. But, the laws of physics weren't suspended on 9/11/2001.

The 9/11 Hijackers: Fraud in Official Video Exhibits Uncovered by Expert Panel
NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- A Panel of 22 researchers into the history of 9/11 has uncovered evidence of fraud in the photographic images of Muslim hijackers prior to boarding the planes on 9/11.
It wasn't the "failure" of the Bush Administration to "prevent" the attacks. The Bush Regime and the Neocons and Neoliberals and other partner countries, were behind the attacks and committed treason against this country. If you really want to honor the victims of 911, you should question the authorities in power that refused to do a proper investigation and did all they could to obfuscate the facts. I'll save you from a list of the glaring details that would more than convict most criminals. You've probably heard them before and some of you will probably ignore them again. Unless you really check out all of the facts as shown on the many web sites like Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth then you will never understand what really happened on 911 and you will continue to swallow the official, government 911 conspiracy theory...from the same government that many of you will berate, otherwise, for many other things.
I think it will be successful, not because the stated conclusions offered after the yes and no outcomes are anything close to an accurate or complete picture, but because it's in Illinois. The lack of realistic politician promises to supporting voter blocks will probably see it bankrupt and looking for a national bailout not long after California.
The privatization of schools is the philosophy of Paul Weyrich and his New Right Party (aka Republicans). He did not want children influenced by socialistic ideas and believed that children should be segregated out of "government" schools. I don't think he envisioned just how many corporations would sign up for his party. ALEC (founded by Weyrich) brought the New Right 600+ corporations that now make our laws. The list includes K-12, Kaplan and several more who will reap big profits from the design of privatization since it's they that are leading the takeover of our schools and they that own the private school systems. Zero Tolerance is their idea to segregate and remove our kids from the PS system. It works. So far, In Canada, (yes, the new right is in Canada, too) 1/4 million children have been adversely affected by these laws.
Infertility Centre infertility primarily refers to the biological inability of a person to contribute to conception. Infertility may also refer to the state of a woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy to full term. There are many biological causes of infertility, some which may be bypassed with medical intervention
I would like to say most of the comments made on this web page are inspiring. I am not a teacher, but my daughter is. These teachers are not on strike just because the mayor, Rham Emanuel decided he would be the over lord of the school system for more power and eventually more cash in his pockets once he is no longer the mayor. He was the chief of staff in the Obama Whitehouse. He resigned to pursue his career in politics. I think he left because of his inability to get along with others in the Whitehouse. The strike is not just about the 4 percent increase in pay the teachers were promised last year and not paid, it is about the inequality in the dispensing of city funds. This yoyo has decided it was better to give the money to the Hyatt Corporation and other corporations in Chicago versus buying more books for the students in the inner city schools. The urban schools receive 66% more in funds, then the inner city schools. This power hungry mayor feels he should have the right to fire any teacher, any time, when he feels the urge to do so. Note: the charter schools that are run for profit are actually doing a poorer job at educating the students then the public schools. In several incidences they have been caught cooking the books to show they were doing better than they actually were as far as student grades go! And, Mayor Emanuel is a Democrat, from the Obama administration. All these teachers want is what was promised to them last year and more money for student needs and a little job security. I know many of you think job security is a dirty word, yet isn't it what most workers want, when they go to work each day and bust their asses for the people they work for; in this case it is the students!!! This mayor is power hungry like most politicians, but even more so. He thinks privatizing the schools will improve the quality of education when actually it is a move to save more money that will be spent on projects that will benefit him. I am ashamed to call this loser a Democrat, when he smells like a corporate lackey, doing the bidding of big business. Power to the teachers, power for the students and long live the Republic.....Down with politicians who make decisions that are meant to benefit themselves and the corporations they represent in our society.
Look at it for what it really is...... privatization of public schools is nothing more than a way to break a powerful union and enrich a few scoundrels by means of domestic outsourcing, so to speak. If these bastards, could bus the kids to Mexico to make an extra buck, by god they would. Hell, teachers there would probably work for a couple grand a year. How low can we go?
One reason vast amounts of wealth continue to flow into the greedy hands of a few is because people are buying into the rich man's lie that unions are to blame for many of our economic woes. The price of your new car isn't going to decrease because a union got busted..... likewise paying teachers less by privatizing isn't going to lower your property taxes......it just means more profit for the few who already have most of everything anyway! Wake up and fight...unionize the whole damn country!
Teachers Unions are standing in the way of Change/Reform. We all know teachers. Most are fantastic. A few are ineffective. Some have "checked out", are in it for the hours or summers, or waiting to retire. You know this . Don't enable it.
And who is this Rham Emanuel fellow anyway? No doubt a Republican.....The Unions are getting in the way of honest and real reform that the Chicago School District desperately needs. They represent teachers/not kids!
