http://www.soaw.org For those of you who are unfamiliar with this faschist outfit...pictures show what is happening there, and there is a letter to sign asking Pres. Obama to call for the return of the DEMOCRATICALLY elected president. Like him or not, the people of Honduras elected him HONESTLY, and we need not to waffle on this one.

It always amazes me these righties cry democracy yet the first thing they do deny civil liberties. Sounds like the 80's death squads are employed again. Darn wish I still had those buttons. I am not convinced that with or without Obama US is involved at some level. Nichols on Sly in the Morn more or less blamed the coup on John Kerry. God I am glad that buffoon never became president.

Moving to a single payer system is a huge endeavor because first we need to dismantle the huge and oftentimes unnecessary bureaucracy of the for-profit system and replace it with a leaner more efficient govt run health care system. So two things are in the way: first, those who manage that massive river of money that flows thru the current system... Read More; second, the American people who are deeply entrenched in instant gratification mode. If they don't see results right away, they'll start listening to the cable news yayos whose main product is reporting all failures except their own.

I wish I could say the Dems were up to the task. So far, they seem way too timid to enact anything. Instead of focusing on a few talking points that should keep the issue focused on their terms, they've allowed the Republicans to take drag out their tired cliches and scare the crap out of the voters.

Relatives of mine lived into their 90s smoking cigars, eating pastrami and chicken fat. I know others that ate lard bread and drank beer and lived long. I know others who ate healthy but died young. Perhaps this stuff causes national health costs to go up. Now that they sort of know that Parkinsons and perhaps Alzheimers may be caused by pesticides...

And carving out coal in West Virginia and Alaska and dumping the waste and toxins into possible drinking waters sources, that is not as easy to pass as banning butter or bacon

There are so many issues the president is dealing with, and the worst problem is the Blue Dog Democrats. If they would get on board with what THE PEOPLE want, then Obama would be further along in his mess, and in keeping his promises. Read The Nation article about why Democrats can't lead. It is an eye opener. It's the Blue Dogs.

I believe much of the progress for the rights of women to be a facade for the West to look with optimistic eyes at a group of men that enforce a ritualistic opposition to the Christian faith. All lose their identity when leaving behind the religious core of our own souls, and what is the product, the output of Iran, Saudi Arabia or any of these ...

What good is it to be a non-Christian Joan of Arc in a controlled environment you cannot escape, at least not with the aquisition of intellectual property. The USA is a rebellious goat, the Middle East an angry ram - and our direction should come from Europe even now.

Sure, the Catholic Church may SOUND like they are changing their attitude but are Catholics allowed to use birth control? No. So Women need to keep having baby after baby whether her family can afford it or her health is threatened or she can just stop having sex with her husband. That's a great attitude toward sex. Teenagers should be told the ... Read Moretruth about human sexuality and that includes the different types of birth control. What prevents pregnancy and disease and what just protects them from pregnancy. Ignorance and lies do not help our young people make good choices. How many studies have to be done before people realize that abstinence does not work for most teens and If they are ignorant they may find themselves pregnant and carrying a disease. The article was pointing out that it is the girl's that pay the price, of course.
