cbsunglass commented on the diary post Make ‘em Prove the Causality Before They Cause Any More Suffering: Part One by letsgetitdone.
The president does not understand economics, or he chooses to ignore the correct path out of the quagmire for an errant view of what is politically expedient. In either case, the remainder of his term will be wasted time in many areas of our society and planet. We don’t have the time. So, what means [...]

Good piece lgid. So how do these four budget scenarios compare with the real budgets deployed between 1932 and 1945?

cbsunglass commented on the blog post A Shame There Aren’t More Journalists Covering Bradley Manning’s Court Martial
They surrender their own self-claimed objective credibility when they suggest that your objectivity is in question simply because you sympathize with Manning and acknowledge the important role that whistle blowing plays in maintaining a free and independent press and democracy. These minions of the corporate-controlled media do as much harm as the regular government criminals who run rouGh shod over our constitution. But, you know that. Viva la resistance. Cognitive dissonance will be the end of this oligarchy of the rich and heartless. You see signs of the dam of reason breaking everyday. Soon the narrative will shift to a sustainable earth, then our victory will emerge. “The winner now, will be later to lose.” Keep up the good work Kevin. I follow you daily. Someday you will be the hero, when your work is farther along.

What did Kanye say about George Bush? I guess it applies to the
lessergreater evil as well. Maybe he doesn’t hate blacks, he just can’t muster enough energy to care. -
cbsunglass commented on the blog post Elizabeth Warren Demands Mortgage Settlement Documents From Regulators
I wonder when Warrens requests and investigation come to a pathetic, inconclusive end, if this moon-eyed drivel about progressive heroes in the Democratic Party will finally terminate and we can return to objective strategies to disrupt the oligarchy of the duopoly. I can only hope. Charlie Brown might have even got clued in by now.

cbsunglass commented on the diary post Can the Federal Reserve Really Refuse To Accept and To Credit A Platinum Coin Deposited By the US Mint? by letsgetitdone.
A solution so simple and eloquent (although as equally goofy as the time we live in), yet unselected by those who would find it adverse to their own agendas. I guess we will have to include O in that set of players. Maybe we can sick Ms White on the case somehow, since she will [...]

cbsunglass commented on the blog post Tough Prosecutor or Servant of Wall Street?
It will take another two months for us to feel the knife O’s second term betrayal. We will hear more caution from White and the alternative route for tar sands will be approved. At some point, surely this optimism about O experiencing an epiphony of progressiveism will come to an end and we can return to a clear eyed appreciation of dissonance. As GW said, “can’t get fooled again.” Perhaps his most astute quote.

cbsunglass commented on the blog post Democratic Party Divided As Obama Inauguration Approaches
Yes,
I would agree. The Progressive Caucus and Labor unions do not constitute leftward faction in the Democratic Party. They are the worst of the corporate enablers. Their actions prove this contention. -

Great diary,
I had to go play Time Out twice this afternoon when I found out. -
cbsunglass commented on the blog post Obama Campaign Reluctant to Give Up Database
Quite true about Move-on. I guess I failed to make my point. What I was trying to say was that there are numerous reasons that O and the Dems will not give progressives a seat at the table. O’s database does not seem to me to be a serious threat to progressives whether it is shared or not.

cbsunglass commented on the diary post Backward Ho! by David Swanson.
I can think of a whole lot of future crimes that are punished in the present: those of political dissadents. Only Plutocrats cannot commit crimes, whether in the past or in the future.

cbsunglass commented on the blog post Obama Campaign Reluctant to Give Up Database
MoveOn has downshifted into a glorified petition delivery service. I don’t see anyone rising up to offer an independent, ideological voice as a replacement. As long as the data remains locked up, and the funding channeled to one central source, progressives will have a hard time.
Somehow, I don’t think O’s database is the central imediment to Progressives having a voice in the Democratic Party. Or did I miss someting?

cbsunglass commented on the diary post Neither Grand, Nor a Bargain by David Swanson.
You know, there are probably a number of talented graduate students in poly-sci or sociology that could probably devise a legitimate sampling program without much financial expenditure. Call it the People’s Gallup Poll. I wonder if factions of Occupy might be amenable to assisting the project?

cbsunglass commented on the diary post Neither Grand, Nor a Bargain by David Swanson.
What are the chances that the peace movement could instigate poll sampling programs to ask people their opinions about the various alternatives to “the Grand Bargain” without the filter of the mainstream media fagans? When I tune into Cable News all I hear is we have to come together and cut the social safety net [...]

Thanks ligid, the most succinct analysis of our options I have ever read, in a short piece, which is no small accomplishment for you. You deserve a wider audience.

cbsunglass commented on the diary post What Romney has taught the American left by David Seaton.
The funny thing is, it would be easy to get 60 percent of the vote. All that would be needed is to run like liberals and then govern like liberals. But that won’t happen with this bunch of Democrats. There just not that into it.

Trumka came out of the meeting with Obama very optimistic today! Translation: the liberal veal pen is tuning up to cave on social safety net cuts. What a bunch of worthless vermin.

cbsunglass commented on the diary post A Fantasy for the “Lesser of Two Evils” Crowd: Re-Elect Mitt Romney, Democrat, in 2016! by Vote Socialist.
Precisely, this is all about which party gets the honor of representing the oligarchy in the White House for the next four years. Todays enemy is our future friend, just as our foreign uni-policy makes quite clear. This is about teams not substantial differences in philosophy or policy.

cbsunglass commented on the diary post Respectable Murderers: An Open Letter to Dan Ellsberg by David Swanson.
Excellent statement David. In order to escape party politics we have to come to the realization that we no longer accept the status quo of the oligarchy and we must act independently and in opposition at all times. We don’t have time to pussy foot around any longer. This aint no fool’n around.

An excelllent discussion of global warming (I have difficulty calling it merely climate change) and the possible influences it has had on the Frankenstorm.
