Only when the Constitution says what they want...


I get tired of the xenophobia and the tired old arguments that immigrants take our jobs and depress wages. Research shows that immigrants actually drive wages up and the types of jobs immigrants take are either the jobs that no one wants, or the jobs that you are not qualified to do...But by all means, Republicans, keep up this demonizing of brown people...it's a great long term electoral strategy for you...BTW 66% of all school age children in 2010 are members of a minority group...

Chickenshit...


Senatorial nominee Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) has officially backed out of his commitment to appear on Meet The Press. Transparent. He apparently needs time to figure out how to maintain his intellectual honesty without throwing every progressive governmental program and development over the past 150 years under the bus...Face the music...

Rand Paul...Wrong Messenger for the Tea Party


The major problem Paul has (and he has numerous problems) is that he is trying to maintain an intellectual cohesiveness in libertarian thought...This simply is living in the ethereal...real people live in the temporal world where words and ideas like his have terrible consequences for real people. It ultimately won't play...even in Kentucky...

Another Massey Miner Dies...


Come on. These corporate guys simply don't get it. The same company that was responsible for the deaths of 29 miners on 5 April 2010 at the Upper Big Branch Mine, saw another one of its workers killed in an on-site accident. The company has accrued 82 safety citations in the last two and a half months. No matter what they say, they simply don't care about working people...


Osceola Plant Closing Bad News for Western Wisconsin


Well said Dave Obey, Well said...This type of activity on the part of an American company is most definitely unpatriotic...


Let hope the 515 workers and the city of Osceola don't fold as a result of this poor decision. Click on the link for the full story...
