Democrats

It’s not so difficult to predict what will happen when President Obama stands by while his Homeland Security network promotes brutal violence against the very same activists who supported his election in 2008: Those activists are going to turn against Barack Obama, and against the Democratic Party in general.

Consequences for Senate Democrats Who Voted To Trash Constitutional Liberty Yesterday

The following seven Democrats are among those who voted against the Udall amendment yesterday. They are all up for re-election in 2012. Americans who believe that liberty is worth keeping, and that imprisonment of people without criminal charge is wrong, should withhold their support from these Democrats’ campaigns.

Obama Supports Forcing Atheists’ Kids To Pledge Oaths To God

Peregrin Wood 11/3/2011

[7] comments

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/obamaforcedreligion.jpg

Americans who support freedom of religion believe that it ought to be the decision of parents whether to introduce their children into religious rituals. This week, Barack Obama said that he doesn’t agree with that. Obama believes that the federal government, not parents, should decide when American children will proclaim religious oaths.

The Real Excesses Of Wall Street Aren’t With The Protesters

If you want to see what real excesses look like, look to Wall Street and the corporate world. Look to CEO pay that’s hundreds of times higher than the pay of the average on-the-floor American workers. Look to corporations that use child labor and slave labor in sweatshops overseas. Look to banks that hold lavish parties to reward high-ranking executives right after receiving billions of dollars of government bailouts because their banks’ accounts were in shambles.

Mark Critz Provides Les Miserables for The One Percent

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/critzlesmiserables.jpg

In two days, Congressman Mark Critz will be sitting with the representatives of the extremely wealthy, watching Les Miserables, a show in which the poor will dance and sing for their amusement – and die on the barricades. How entertaining economic desperation will be to them. But, what about the economic show of our own time?

Obama Doesn’t Want Democrats To See Him Signing More Free Trade Deals Today

Why doesn’t Obama want Democratic voters to pay attention to his approval of the free trade deals today? Democratic voters overwhelmingly oppose free trade deals like the ones that Obama is signing into law today. Most Democrats in Congress opposed the deals, too.

Representative Chris Murphy has promoted a resolution to promote National Youth Justice Awareness Month. Would it be too much to expect Murphy to introduce a congressional resolution of support for the occupation protests – the popular youth justice movement active on America’s streets?

Obama Offers To Cut Medicare And Slash Social Security Funding At START Of Negotiations

jclifford 9/8/2011

We know that the jobs bill that Obama will sign into law will be much more Republican-friendly than what he’s talking about in his speech tonight. What Obama is offering as his initial negotiating position, however, is enough to make working Americans shudder. Obama has already offered to cut Medicare benefits and slash the funding of Social Security – as his opening offer.
