Today's political news and views.

Bill Moyers explores how America’s vast inequality didn’t just happen, it’s been politically engineered.

Vote Herman Cain In South Carolina!

GOP HATE
This was a letter posted on Daily Kos by one of its members. It was so, to the point, that I felt a need to circulate it around a little more thus this post. It is a rant to all those who like to refer to themselves as members of the Tea Party and their GOP leaders. The GOP has such an easy task when it comes to adapting people's minds to vote for them; Spread hate and they will be yours, is their message and it has worked for more years than I like to remember. Let's stop the hate and bring on common-sense solutions to all our problems. I say ALL because we are ALL the same regardless of what the Republicans would like us to believe. thinkingblue

The United States Food and Drug Administration has as corrupt a reputation as any agency in the federal government. While corruption in government is nothing new, the problems it causes become exacerbated when the decisions being made have a real impact on people's health and people's lives.

There is a debate raging over the introduction of what are being termed "biosimilar drugs". Some are calling for extra scrutiny given the complex nature of the drugs.

Some others are wondering if said opposition to the introduction of these new and potentially revolutionary drugs is rooted in a genuine desire to protect the consumer or a more sinister desire to protect competing interests with a powerful lobbying presence in Washington...

A few videos that illustrate how useless Bill O'Reilly is to the world. Oh, he may have his followers but they are of the ditto-head persuasion that follow Rush Limbaugh. I hate to judge and categorize people in to groups but O'Reilly is an ignoramus and proud of it. The Catholic church should be embarrassed that he so loudly touts that he represents them.

Watch Video... To see why.

Imagine there was a scientifically complicated subject which was difficult to understand even if you had all the information. Imagine it would take you days, weeks, months to educate yourself on the subject. Imagine the subject had more rampant misinformation published than virtually any other subject published in the last 5 years. Imagine how long it would take you to assess the reams of conflicting information on the subject. Imagine the subject was further mired in political and religious controversy.

Buddy Roemer... He may be a breath of fresh air. He wants to take the money out of politics. That's a good place to start.

A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank. -- Ron Paul
