Crippling the Right to Organize: GOP Inaction May Leave National Labor Relations Board Inoperable

Video

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'The National Labor Relations Board, the government body that oversees labor complaints, is on the verge of being shut down ... Unless a solution is found, the NLRB would be frozen come January. Without the NLRB, workers would lose their legal recourse to defend their right to organize and to protect themselves against anti-union activity by employers.'

Three Million Could Lose Jobless Pay in Impasse

Robert Pear, The New York Times News Service: 'More than three million people stand to lose unemployment insurance benefits in the near future because of an impasse in Congress over how to extend the aid and how to offset the cost. Jobless benefits have been overshadowed by debate on a payroll tax cut, but have become a huge sticking point in negotiations on a bill that deals with both issues.'

The Drone That Fell From the Sky

Nick Turse, TomDispatch: 'That report and striking new statistics obtained from the military offer insights into underexamined flaws in drone technology. They are also a reminder of the failure of journalists to move beyond awe when it comes to high-tech warfare and America's latest wonder weapons, their curious inability to examine the stark limitations of man and machine that can send even the most advanced military technology hurtling to Earth.'

US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) USA Today

'Here comes ... Ron Paul.

12/19/11

A new survey by left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) finds the Texas congressman now leading for the GOP nomination in Iowa, where voters cast the first ballots of the 2012 presidential contest on Jan. 3. ... Paul s rise comes as Newt Gingrich fades. The former House speaker has dropped nine percentage points nationally since the beginning of the month, according to the Gallup daily tracking poll...

Why Ron Paul s surge is making them nervous

Bumper Hornberger Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

12/19/11

While big government statists in both the Republican and Democrat parties remain mystified over Ron Paul s surge in the polls in Iowa, the ones who seem most confounded by this phenomenon are the members of the mainstream media, who themselves are statist to the core. They just can t figure out how it s possible that increasing numbers of people are gravitating to the Paul campaign, especially when the mainstream media has either ignored Paul s campaign or done its best to ridicule Paul s libertarian positions...

GOP Literally Walks Out On Attempt To Push Payroll Tax Cut
http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2011/12/21-6

--------

'Freedom' an Instrument of Oppression

George Monbiot, The Guardian UK: 'But rightwing libertarians do not recognise this conflict. They speak ... as if the same freedom affects everybody in the same way. They assert their freedom to pollute, exploit, even...to kill, as if these were fundamental human rights. They characterise any attempt to restrain them as tyranny. They refuse to see that there is a clash between the freedom of the pike and the freedom of the minnow.'

House Passes Payroll Tax Cut Extension for Two Months

David Lightman, McClatchy Newspapers: 'The House of Representatives quickly, quietly Friday approved a two-month extension of the Social Security payroll tax, ending a week of rancor and assuring more than 160 million people avoid a 2 percentage point increase next year.'

Bills now pending in Congress to thwart online piracy would violate free speech, destroy the technological underpinnings of the Web and hinder the user-generated innovation like the next YouTube or Twitter.
