A Powerful Tool In Political T-Shirts
January 18, 2011
Politics in today’s arena is in a constant, roiling boil of passionate discourse. It doesn’t take much for tempers to flare and for lines to get crossed when people feel so adamant about a subject like this. It makes people want to deliver their message strongly before they even have to say a word. Political t-shirts help the Left and Right both achieve this goal and they are being used more than ever before.
Political t-shirts are being used as a powerful political tool. At political rallies everywhere you can see the evidence of this. Throngs of people gather in support of a political ideal and wear the political t-shirts to support those ideals. The meaning behind these shirts is quite obvious. The wearer has a message to deliver, and the political t-shirt is a perfect medium to deliver it.
The modern political rally is an impossible place to make your own, single voice be heard. It is a place for common interests to be expressed in a show of political force. Many people still want to emphasize certain aspects of their political agenda. When the signs and political t-shirts come into play, you get a chance to see what these individuals who make up the whole feel about specific topics.
Political t-shirts get used in more ways than this, though. They get worn by strongly opinionated people in their everyday lives to influence the folks they meet in their daily routines. When they put on one of these political t-shirts and head to the market, for example, the whole intent is for someone to read the t-shirt and engage them in a political debate. This helps them spread their opinions to people who would otherwise never have confronted the wearer.
What the political t-shirt enables us to do is to see the political division between two people right off the bat. Once someone is identified as either conservative or liberal, you immediately know what to expect from that person if the issue of politics is brought forth. Interaction between two people can be civil as long as everyone knows where the other stands before things become too emotional. Political t-shirts help remove the insults from what should be a debate.

How We will Solve the Economic Crisis
November 20, 2010
1 place President Obama, Speaker-To-Be John Boehner, Congressman Paul Ryan, or Sarah Palin could turn to for wisdom around the existing greenback crisis is the editorials from the New york Times. Not the editorials of right now, but those that were issued in the course of the mid-1940s, in the event the nations about to become victorious in Planet War II have been meeting at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to lay the groundwork for any post-war monetary system. The Occasions issued editorial right after editorial important from the Bretton Woods negotiations and their architect, John Maynard Keynes. It turns out that the editorials had been the work of a single, prophetic editorial writer, Henry Hazlitt.
Hazlitt cautioned that what was becoming set up at Bretton Woods was an inflation trap. He turned out to become right, and also the method unraveled in 1971, when President Nixon closed the gold window. Bretton Woods unraveled over what, in retrospect, seems a modest drop in the worth of a greenback – one thing like 10% – to a 38th of an oz of gold in the 35th that obtained below Bretton Woods. This ushered financial arrangements that, under the leadership of President Reagan and the Fed chairman at the time, Paul Volcker, proved serviceable to get a although but is turning out to get inadequate in an era of lesser leaders.
No doubt Hazlitt, had he lived, would have stated the failure was inevitable. His warnings inside the The big apple Instances stand as a single from the fantastic scoops in all of newspapering. The oeuvre is anthologized in a book that Hazlitt himself set together referred to as “From Bretton Woods To Planet Inflation.” Issued in 1984, it includes much more than 20 of his editorials from the Times, most of them in the 1940s, but starting with a single through the 1934, called “The Return to Gold,” which consists of a warning that couldn’t be much more relevant to today’s debate once the G20 is feuding more than the prospect of ambitious devaluations:
“There is no much more a ‘natural value’ for an irredeemable foreign money than there is to get a promissory note of a particular person of uncertain intentions to pay for an undisclosed sum at an unspecified date. Finally, it has been learned that ambitious depreciation, unlike aggressive armaments, can be a game that no Authorities is just too poor or too weak to play, and that it can result in nothing but common demoralization.” Later, he cautioned, by way of an editorial in the Occasions: “The Greatest solitary contribution the United States could make to world forex stability following the warfare is to announce its determination to stabilize its own currency.”
An additional memorable a single of Hazlitt’s editorials with the Occasions, from February 1945, is referred to as “Supply Creates Demand.” It warned against the fallacy that we could possibly be “saved from disaster right after the struggle only by a continuation of huge Authorities spending and deficit financing.” The fallacy was based to the notion that “purchasing power” should be kept above “production.” Hazlitt warned that would result in the “crude inflationary theory that we can preserve gong right after the war only through the process of constantly increasing funds payments regardless of production.” Does this sound familiar?
The Hazlitt compendium also includes a celebrated editorial referred to as “Gold vs. Nationalism,” which was issued in the Instances on March 17, 1945. It sketched a single from the famous paradoxes, which is that agreements like Bretton Woods, which appear, on the face of it, to get archetypes of multi-nationalism are in fact the opposite. The real trans-national thought of a single normal to which all nations could, or could not, repair is gold. The reverse, the recipe for strife, was a “system below which each nation individually could be free of charge to enable whatever unsound policies it wished, while the nations collectively would must bail it out with the difficulties into which it fell as a consequence.” Greece couldn’t have put it far better.
* * *
Years later, Hazlitt himself was asked, in an interview through the Austrian Economics Newsletter, why he believed the editorials didn’t have a lot more impact. Quoth he:
“As you’ll keep in mind the guiding spirit at that conference was John Maynard Keynes. The delegates were creating inflationary decisions every single day. I was tirelessly pointing out that these selections were inflationary. No person else seemed to get pointing this out and nobody paid any interest to what I was saying. In fact, I feel an awful lot of individuals have been astonished that the brand new York Occasions was taking this strange eccentric position. In the event the 43 nations represented all signed the settlement adopting the Bretton Woods program, Arthur Sulzberger, then publisher from the Occasions, known as me into his office and stated, ‘Look, Henry, I’ve been letting you publish these things, despite the fact that I had misgivings about them, but now that 43 nations have agreed to accept the settlement, I do not see how the Instances can continue to oppose it.’ I replied, ‘Mr. Sulzberger, in the event you feel that way, I cannot carry on to publish any much more editorials inside the Ny Occasions to the agreement; I think it really is as well harmful.’”
The Occasions has stuck with the Keynesian errors all the way up through Professor Krugman, and it’s been by no signifies alone in its willingness to swing behind Bretton Woods. However it has left, within the oeuvre of Hazlitt’s editorials, a record that will repay a visit through the politicians of today, when the dollar – which under Bretton Woods was worth a 35th of an ounce of gold – is value less than a 1,400th of an ounce of gold and when the 20 leading nations of the globe are in disarray and when a fresh generation of politicians is rising in a very new Congress that will be searching for a way forward.

The Republican Tea Party Has Scary Plans For The USA
September 8, 2010
It’s scary to me that current polls show the GOP picking up significant power in the midterns. I do not understand how people’s memories could possibly be so short. Do they not remember the mess that Bush left the country with in January of 2009?
And it’s not just that Bush left us a huge mess, it is that the Republican Party has made a coldly calculated decision to obstruct everything Barack Obama and the Democrats in the House and Senate have tried to do to clean up the mess.
The Republican Party have put their own political fortunes in front of the good of the US time and time again over the last two years. They have constantly obstructed progress while spreading a huge amount of lies about the Democrats. And now American voters want to reward them for it? It is unbelievable!
When will folks turn off the noise of the Fox News propaganda network and start taking a closer look at what the Republican agenda for the future of our country really is?
I would love to write that it’s just a return to the policies of Bush since that would be bad enough. But it’s actually far worse than that. By the standards of the Republican Tea Party of 2010, President is a “liberal.”
The GOP agenda for 2011 when they hope to control both the House and the Senate include the following five things:
1. Turn Social Security over to Wall Street. They want the fat cats on Wall Street to have access to your Social Security money.
2. Destroy Medicare. Their proposed cuts to Medicare would gut this extremely popular health care program.
3. Extend the George W. Bush tax cuts for the rich that helped destroy the economy.
4. Repeal the Constitution’s 17th amendment. For some bizarre reason they think that people shouldn’t have the right to vote for their own Senators, instead party politicians should get to choose them.
5. Begin trumped up “investigations” into the Obama administration. I’m not joking, Republicans have already said that they plan on starting investigations on anything and everything as soon as they get the majority. What makes this most ridiculous is that the Democrats never investigated any of the real crimes of President Bush, but the Republicans are threatening to investigate the made up crimes of President Obama.
It is because of this scary right wing agenda that I must endorse every Democratic candidate running for congress in 2010. Whether it be Rick Boucher in the 9th district of Virginia or any other Democrat running against the Republican Tea Party. It’s certainly not that the Democrats are perfect; they’re not. It’s that the Republican Party in 2010 is really dangerous to the future prospects of the United States. We’re in too precarious of a position to let these folks get any sort of significant power.
Republican Presidential Candidates In 2012 are likely to include Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, and Mike Huckabee. All of whom work for Fox “News”.
Why the Republican Lies on Health Care Reform are Going to Bite Them Back
April 2, 2010
After more than a year of political battles with the Republicans, Fox News, the Tea Party, and the health insurance industry, President Obama and the Democratic Party were finally able to make health care reform the law of the United States.
It is quite difficult to overstate the importance of this victory for Obama. It’s a legislative victory so huge that it boosts President Obama into the discussion about the greatest Presidents of the past 100 years. Universal health care has been a goal for forward thinking people since Theodore Roosevelt proposed the idea about 100 years ago.
As huge as the victory is for Obama, it’s just as big of a loss for the Republican Party because they put everything they had on trying to take down this bill and they were beat. Far right GOP Senator Jim Demint of South Carolina said that he thought the Republicans could destroy Obama’s presidency if they could take down his health care reform bill. He said it would be the President’s “Waterloo” but as David Frum noted in a recent article, it is now the Republican party’s “Waterloo.”
The reason for this is because all of the outrageous lies that the the Republican machine (including Fox News) told about health care reform only work politically if the bill never becomes the law. Then they can say that they “saved America” from some evil plot and since it was never realized there would be no solid evidence that they were full of it. This is how the GOP won huge in 1994 after defeating President Clinton’s health care reform.
But now that health care reform is law average Americans will inevitably find out that they actually really like the changes since they are extremely positive for most Americans.
The GOP is now campaigning with the preposterous slogan “Repeal and Replace” but this slogan will seem increasingly ridiculous as normal people find out how good the reform actually is. I am confident that a majority of the American people will wake up and realize that the GOP has done nothing but lie about this topic for more than a year and this will probably lead to a very good November for the Democrats this year.
Follow the 2012 Presidential Campaign which will pit President Obama against a Republican such as Mitt Romney.
Top Weird News of 2008
October 22, 2009
The Stock Market went bankrupt, Democrats and Republicans were nipping at each other like vicious enemies, and this was the situation of the whole world. All the companies were merely surviving and hoping that they could see the next year. As for America situations were turning out to be quite a lot suspicious as the elections for the President of the United States took place and Obama came up with the majority of people on his side.
Now we look at some of the weirdest news of this year.
President Bush went to Iraq for some meeting with the Iraqi President, where he was facing a press conference. Now when President Bush was giving away the answers, one of the Iraqi reporter stood up, took one of his shoes and threw it towards Bush. Bush was too athletic to get away from it. But that man fired another shoe which was only some inches away. Now everyone was shocked and was apologizing with Bush.
Nobody needed to see Verne “Mini-Me” Troyer’s sex tape! But it was hardly as the guy charged with having sex with his picnic table, the woman who sold videos of herself having sex with her stupid enough dog, the guy who cooked his girlfriend for dinner or the Danish students who killed a cat (of real) and ate it on Face book.
In August, when Mrs. McKinney of California stood before cameras to unveil the cloned pups of her deceased pit-bull, Booger (for which she paid a handsome amount of $30,000+), knew she was different than what expected.
A few days later, British tabloids recognized her as Joyce McKinney, a woman charged in 1977 with kidnapping some Mormon missionary and getting out on bail. McKinney was charged of chloroforming the man on the steps of a church, took him off to a remote villa, shackled him in mink handcuffs, and forced him to have sex with her! Damn where in the hell was I.
Before the trial, McKinney ran off to the United States and had been living in relative obscurity. Once discovered, she faced the media, telling the Associated Press, “My mother said, ‘Say something good or say nothing at all’.”
Two other highlights in laughable litigiousness: a California woman sued Victoria’s Secret after injuring her eye while trying on a thong. A New York businessman also sued over an eye injury. His came after a stripper accidentally smacked him in the face while taking her clothes off.
When a company launch a line of bikinis, for girls as young as two months old, the outcry from child advocates and feminists was as predictable as it was justifiable. What are they up to? The same could be said for GPS Lingerie– underwear that lets a woman’s boyfriend know where she is all the time. This great invention will hopefully go far.
In other religious news, the Virgin Mary appeared on an MRI and the face of Jesus turned up on an electric guitar (both listed on eBay for sale)

Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop
October 22, 2009
Three be the things I shall have until I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.
- Dorothy Parker
Shaky financial markets, political mistrust, and unpredictable encounters with an international source. Haven’t we seen this before? Plummeting stocks and rising unemployment are nothing to make light of, of course, but as a Baby Boomer it’s easy to spot the similarities between our country’s current predicament and the ones we have already lived to tell about.
Truth be told, I think we Boomers deserve smooth sailing from here on out. Didn’t we follow President Kennedy’s lead when he told us, his fellow Americans, to ask what we could do for our country, rather than what our country could do for us? As a generation, I know we did. We’ve handled some hairy situations before, and quite well, I might add. We made it through Communism, the Vietnam War, and Watergate, only to arrive at….well, the Starr Report, two Iraq wars, and the financial market meltdown. Are these the circu
mstances under which we Boomers are supposed to enter into our Golden Years? If so, no thanks – I think I’d rather go through McCarthyism again.
Then again, our generation – or at least some of its members – played at least a partial role in the recent economic debacle. In fact, some of its most notorious players are card-carrying members of the Boomer generation, including many of the Congressional Democrats and Republicans who acted like unruly siblings instead of getting down to the business of drafting a bailout plan. Despite this, however, I believe we can still hold our heads high. (Thinking back to grade school, there was always a cheater or a bully in every class, but most of us did our own work and played well with others).
Although some of you pessimistic Boomers might resist, try to look on the bright side. As Boomers, we are 78 million members strong. Our generation is a living example of hope and embodies a spirit of renewal, rising out of the ashes of the two World Wars. Due to a rapid series of medical advances over the last several decades, our average lifespan is now 85 years old. We are the first generation to experience this significantly increased lifespan, not to mention a better quality of life as we age.
Still waiting for the other shoe to drop? Don’t bother. Go ahead and deal proactively with the things you can control, but don’t waste time worrying about the things you can’t. Want a second opinion? According to noted psychologist Arnold H. Glasgow, “the future is the past returning through another gate.” In an ironic twist that backs up Dr. Glasgow’s statement, the Associated Press reported on its website yesterday that the financial fallout in this country has a surprising upside. Gas prices have dropped to just under $88 per barrel; the last time they were this low was exactly a year ago, in October 2007.

Blagojevich Impeachment Vote
October 22, 2009
Is there anyone who thinks the Blagojevich impeachment hearings will be anything different than the Bill Clinton impeachment proceedings? Everyone is entitled to a fair trial and every defensive strategy will be used. Translation: it’s going to take a lot of time!
One such strategy was initiated today.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s defense lawyers Thursday asked a federal judge to toss U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and all his assistants off the fraud and bribery case against him. Chief defense counsel Edward Genson said in a motion that the news conference Fitzgerald held in announcing the charges was so filled with prejudicial publicity that the prosecutor should bow out.
And what’s the next defensive strategy since that won’t work?
Earlier in the day, the Illinois House committee investigating Gov. Rod Blagojevich released a draft report saying the panel believes the Democratic governor has abused his power. It recommended the full chamber vote on impeachment. “The citizens of this state must have confidence that their governor will faithfully serve the people and put their interests before his own,” the report reads. “It is with profound regret that the committee finds that our current governor has not done so.”
Meanwhile, Roland Burris on Thursday denied any quid pro quo with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich for his appointment to the U.S. Senate during testimony before a panel weighing whether to impeach Blajojevich.
In a written affidavit given to the impeachment panel, Burris said he had one limited conversation with the governor about the Senate seat before he was appointed. And that conversation, he said, was initiated by a Blagojevich attorney. But records show that the two men have long ties, including lucrative state contracts, political contributions and even a job for the governor’s wife. Those records are raising thorny questions from state officials, particularly Republicans.
And the beat goes on!

Republicans in Congress
October 22, 2009
For details, visit http://wakingupnow.com/rep4thatHave some Republicans become aware of the damage and are finally distancing themselves from the Right?
October 22, 2009
Are some Republicans realizing that they may lose an election if they associate with the far Right? By distancing themselves from the 10-15% of the "Far Right" will they increase their chances of getting elected?
Since the majority of Americans do not agree with the Far Right, are these Republicans just following the majority?
Some are already decrying the Far Right’s Glenn Beck as "cynical" and "not a Republican. Will this help them?
By going against the groups in the Far Right like the Tea Party protesters do these Republicans risk a backlash from these Far Right groups?
I seen Lindsey Graham on Fox saying that he does not watch Glenn Beck and thinks he is cynical and not helpful to America. I agree with Lindsey for once! I think the damage is already done. In 2010 the people will remember the extremists like the Tea Party crews protesting nothing but aniti-Obama hate once again and will vote against these types. The Tea Party people like to say they are a mainstream group when they are in fact just a bunch of far right Wing nuts. Since they are loud they seem to think that means they are somwhow more of a force than they actually are. This Fox news "created" group will likely be a reason that some vote against Republican candidates.
