The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 as passed by the House of Friday preserves spending on extravagant weapons program that the Pentagon says it doesn’t want. It keeps open redundant military bases that are not strategically necessary. The money to pay for this wasteful military spending is being taken from older Americans, by reducing their health care benefits.

Dozen Democrats Join House GOP To Demolish Nuclear Nonproliferation

The issue isn’t what’s happening in Syria at the moment. It isn’t cutting spending. The issue is nuclear weapons. Too many members of Congress favor the expansion of America’s nuclear weapons, and don’t care to even try to control the spread of nuclear weapons out of Russia.

Will Democrats Make Equal Marriage Rights A Plank In Their Platform?

It’s a nice thing that prominent individual Democrats are now indicating some openness to marriage equality. Such expressions aren’t what matter in the end, however. It’s the law that makes the difference.

Big media organizations such as the New York Times have lost touch with what genuine grassroots organizations look like. What these corporate news operations describe with the the term “grassroots” nowadays is rather like their own organizations: Designed for consumption by individuals, but only though a system of distribution controlled from the top down, powered by large payments from a few sources with a lot of money.

Democratic readers, maybe I’m missing something. Prove me wrong. Find just one national Democratic Party leader who has endorsed, or even acknowledge, today’s May Day protests for economic justice.

Congressman Mike McIntyre doesn’t care enough about prayer to center his own life around the practice, so what right does he have to lecture to the rest of us about how we’re not praying enough?

Hillary Clinton 2016?

Is the growing popularity of Hillary 2016 due to a quality that Clinton has herself, or is it due more to fatigue with the Obama vs. Romney contest we’re currently supposed to be focused on?

Secular liberals are treated as pariahs by the Democratic Party. There is no functioning political party that represents the interests of secular Americans over the interests of religious Americans.
