March 10th, 2011Democrats, DVR to FDR! We’ve heard this song before…
November 29th, 2010Speech at Madison Square Garden (October 31, 1936)- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up.
We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.
I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master.

Republican Shangri-La: Society A La Carte, $75 at a time
October 8th, 2010
Unless your home burned down over the last few days and you haven’t seen the news, I am sure you have heard the story of a small Tennessee town where fire protection is apparently optional, and a fellow named Gene Cranick.
This is the Conservative Society model that the Free-Marketeers have been peddling for 30 years, folks! Follow this logic down its logical path: Would the firefighters would have done anything if there were people in the house?
We did this all before, after an extensive fire in Philadelphia in 1736, Founding Father (you know, the ones the GOP always uses as a prop) Benjamin Franklin established the first all-volunteer fire brigade which was known as The Union Fire company. Being from Boston, where they had Mutual Fire Societies (or “Fire Clubs”), he saw how “Fire Clubs” existed solely for the protection of its members, not the entire community. There were placards placed on houses to designate what insurance affiliation you paid for. If the wrong group of fire fighters was called, sorry charlie, your house is gone. Ben Franklin wanted organizations that would battle all fires, regardless of whose property was burning.
So, what’s the response of the right-wing?
“Of Course, The Firefighters Should Have Let The Guy’s House Burn Down”
No Pay, no Spray.
UNCOVERS:
Conservatives are just showing how dangerously nearsighted, selfish, and immoral they truly are.
Republicans , once again, show they believe everything in life = money.
Isn’t community also a Christian value?
So now the Republicans are in favor of the benefits of taxation?
America is a nation of WE, not a nation of ME. We live in a society and we’re all interdependent. Your house catches on fire, all of our houses can catch on fire.
Most “Great Fires” only started with ONE house.
SIDE POINTS:
This is like the scene right out of Goodfellas:
Health Care: You’re sick? %^&* you, pay me.
You lost your job? %^&* you, pay me
Some reckless Banker stole your money? %^&* you, pay me.
China put Cadmium in your kids toys? %^&* you, pay me.
Your house is on fire? %^&* you, pay me.
Gene Cranick:
Republican Opposition to Everything- [Strong Dems]
April 2nd, 2010
RESPONSE:
This is Republican political road rage.
They view America’s streets as theirs alone, and don’t accept anyone else’s right to drive on them.
What the Republicans cannot handle is that they fundamentally disagree with ANYONE else’s right to govern.
FOLLOW-UP:
As parents, we call this throwing a temper tantrum. The GOP has been in power for so long that they refuse to understand that being the minority party means you don’t get your way all of the time.
Republicans were voted out of power because the American people overwhelmingly rejected their failed policies. Their answer to that rejection… anyone who disagrees with us is an anti-American, Socialist, Marxist, Communist, anti-Christ who wants to bring Armageddon.
Let’s be very clear here. The Republican party is NOT interested in a debate on how to make America work better. They are only interested in being a schoolyard bully to the American people.
UNCOVERS:
Republican opposition is not based on an honest disagreement, or position on policy, it is solely because they view their position as the ONLY position, and any other is framed as fundamentally destructive.
This attitude is childish and does not serve the interests of our nation.
