An America eternally ''at war''

Los Angeles Times
by Tom Engelhardt

10/09/12

A great power without a significant enemy? That s what the U.S. has become. Osama bin Laden is dead. Al Qaeda is reportedly a shadow of its former self. The great regional threats of the moment, North Korea and Iran, are regimes held together by baling wire and the suffering of their populaces. The only incipient great power rival on the planet, China, has just launched its first aircraft carrier, a refurbished Ukrainian throwaway from the 1990s on whose deck the country has no planes capable of landing. The U.S., by contrast, has 1,000 or more bases around the world. It spends as much on its military as the next 14 powers (mostly allies) combined...

Romney versus the people

The American Prospect
by Paul Waldman

10/08/12

There s no question that Mitt Romney did very well in his first debate with Barack Obama. Indeed, it couldn t have gone much better, so much so that almost any performance in their meeting next week will seem like a let-down. But the second debate poses real dangers for Romney, and an opportunity for Obama to wipe away the memory of his poor performance in the first. Next week s will be a 'town hall'-style debate, and that format plays right into Romney s weaknesses...

The Real Incumbent is 'Plutocracy'

Richard RJ Eskow, The Progressive Populist: If the President opts for the elite s failed austerity economics, voters are likely to conclude that the real re-election victory went to the one candidate they never wanted in the first place: the plutocracy.

Competitive Enterprise Institute
by Matthew Melchiorre

10/05/12

Mr. Bernanke s description of QE3 as a 'Main Street' policy' is incorrect. The Fed distributes its newly created money by buying securities from large financial firms. These businesses receive the dollars before anyone else in the economy and thereby become relatively wealthier than those without their close political connections...

Liberty For All
by R. Lee Wrights

10/06/12

Samuel Johnson said, 'Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.' H.L. Mencken expanded that definition when he said, 'Patriotism, in truth, is the great nursery of scoundrels ... Its chief glories are the demagogue, the military bully, and the spreaders of libels and false history.' I think of this definition every time I hear the phrase or see a sign or bumper sticker that says 'Support Our Troops'...
