http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7wBwOEsw2I&feature=player_embedded I am definitely on the side of the nurses -- if they can be forced by NY State into having flu shots, it won't be long before the government is forcing all of us to have them. Shades of Big Brother! We have a right to say what goes into our bodies, and no government...

Short video excerpt from one of my favorite movies
I think this particular excerpt is very apt for this time on Earth when fear is being used by propagandists to control the minds of the people... If you haven't seen Defending Your Life, I highly recommend it to you -- you can rent it on netflix.com or at your local video store... It's a movie I could watch over and over -- and I have. ...

Why the Regressive Right Desperately Wants to Erase the Bush Presidency
You hardly hear anyone on the right mentioning Bush anymore -- it's almost as if he never existed. Do you ever wonder why that is? I think the following essay tells the true story: EXCERPT: The obvious answer is that Bush was a total disaster as president who was hated by a country that couldn't wait for the clock to run down on his nightmare....

You don't see racism? LOOK AGAIN.
And read this column -- speaking truth about the dangerous situation we now face in our country, with the right wing racist propagandists ratcheting up the fear and prejudice in their ignorant followers, many of whom have guns wedded to no brains. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/19/opinion/19herbert.html?hp...
LIMBAUGH: WE NEED SEGREGATED BUSES !!!
I am loathe to give this insane beast Rush Limbaugh any room at all on my blog, but he has carried his racist propaganda WAY too far...and he influences far too many ignorant people, with very dangerous potential. It's important for intelligent people to be warned about him. Here is his latest attempt to incite a rightwing racist nut to do injury to...

Racial hatred against Obama
Maureen Dowd's column: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/13/opinion/13dowd.html It's obvious that much of the hatred aimed at Obama is fomented by racial prejudice, especially in the south (but not only in the south, unfortunately). Southerners who still cling to the rabid belief that the South should have won the Civil War are most unhappy to...

The 60 Questions of Our Life--New Discovery channel program
This new show should be interesting, but I agree with this author -- some very important questions are being left out... http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/23824 EXCERPT: "Curiosity: The Questions of Our Life" is the name of a new 60-episode five-year "landmark" series just announced with much fanfare by the Discovery Channel. So what...
A 2-minute video that is intriguing, to say the least
I was browsing through the Internet and came upon this wonderful brief (2-3 minute) video of a documentary that is in the making, called The Holy Rascals. You'll have to see it for yourself to appreciate it: a Jewish Rabbi, a former Catholic (Dominican) priest, a gentle little Indian man, a Native American/Catholic woman -- all expressing the same...
Glenn Beck (ugh!) exploits 9-11 tragedy for ratings
What a piece of work this man is! He represents the Crazy Stupids of our nation--and I'm sorry to say there are far too many of them. It would be great if the racists, numbskulls, and fear-filled haters-of-change could have their own planet, so the rest of us could help Mother Earth recover from them.

President Obama's school speech today instantly turned all kids into Nazis --
As soon as his speech was over, millions of kids starting turning in their parents to the government. According to the right wing warning system, the big bad black president is not yet done indoctrinating the kids. He wants to make sure they all become communists--or fascists--or both. And he is building mammoth concentration camps to contain...

How far can the rightwing INSANITY go?
Watch the following two very short videos of mothers fearful about Obama's speech to the school kids (which he is giving right now). They tell the story of right wing insanity far better than anything I could say. Of course, none of the nutcases who are keeping their kids home from school today will be listening to his speech--they actually DO fear...

Political manipulation of the threat level
