Are The Issues - Not The Politics
by The Old Hippie - For This Blog

And just what are the issues behind the fog of the politics?
Let me try to run them down for you dear reader. . .

  1.  Education:  Here's a link that sums it up well.

  2.  Health Care:  Here's a link that sums it up well.

  3.  Wealth Gap:  Here's a link to get you started.

  4.  Taxation Without Representation:  Since we bottom 95% no longer have representation
        in "our" congress, here's a link to help you to understand.

  5.  Privatization of Natural Resources:  Here's a link to get you started.

  5.  Resource Wars:  Here's a link that gives a fair perspective on this.

The last two have a lot to do with the "why" of this Iraq War, outside of the contrived ideological reasons stated in the corporate-controlled media, or the obvious structured emptying of the U.S. Treasury into the pockets of the few.

If you are one of the American idiots that still believe the Iraq War has anything to do with 9/11, you are in the wrong blog - You should surf Fox "News" sites to support your continuing denial of reality.
