IMPORTANT TO READ IF YOU WANT TRUTH ABOUT HEALTH CARE
If you don't care about truth, you can just listen to the Republicans and get your lies from them. They're great at spewing them out and making their "dittoheads" believe them. As Wendell Potter, the former CIGNA executive tells us: The health insurance industry,...
Know-nothings coming into Congress -- bringing trouble
The far right wing pretends to revere the Constitution, but wants to change it, too. It seems they don't mind if it is not followed or is proposed to be changed when they have a Republican president. But when a Democrat is president, they challenge everything. That's the way it is...

Jon Stewart takes up Edward R. Murrow role
Since none of the major news media will do it, a comedian had to step in, tell the truth and get the ball rolling for health care for the 9/11 responders. We can no longer depend on journalists, other than a precious few like Seymour Hersch, to do investigative reporting and tell the people how...

Excellent opinion article from the Detroit Metro Times
You have to wonder what are people thinking when they vote for Republicans? Do they think this is still the Republican Party of their grandparents? If so, someone should enlighten them, PRONTO. But they refuse to listen or contemplate what they are doing. Voting against their own interests--and their own proclaimed "compassionate conservatism" (what...
