I have been part of the inner workings of evangelical ministry for nearly 40 years. I think I learned a thing or two about evangelical/fundamentalist Christianity in America. And I m here to tell you: I don't like what I see happening these days!

Why are the Governors of America Saying Such Dumb Things?

Michael Winship, Truthout: 'A mere glance at the foolishness uttered by the several seeking - or contemplating seeking - the GOP presidential nod reveal a race as much to the bottom of the rhetorical barrel as it is to the White House.'

Middle-Class Death Watch

David DeGraw, Amped Status: 'The promise of the American dream has given many hope that they themselves could one day rise up the economic ladder. But according to a study released those already in financially-stable circumstances should fear falling down a few rungs too. The study? found that nearly a third of Americans who were part of the middle-class as teenagers in the 1970s have fallen out of it as adults? its findings suggest the relative ease with which people in the U.S. can end up in low-income, low-opportunity lifestyles - even if they started out with a number of advantages.'

Less Work, More Living

Juliet Schor, YES! Magazine: 'Millions of Americans have lost control over the basic rhythm of their daily lives. They work too much, eat too quickly, socialize too little, drive and sit in traffic for too many hours, don t get enough sleep, and feel harried too much of the time. It?s a way of life that undermines basic sources of wealth and well-being - such as strong family and community ties, a deep sense of meaning, and physical health.... But fewer work hours for people with jobs is a key step toward solving the unemployment crisis - while giving Americans healthier lives.'

Between Race and Reason: Anti-Intellectualism in American Life

Susan Searls Giroux, Stanford University Press: 'The nation s third president understood all too well the necessity of an educated citizenry ... At no other time have we been more in need of a critically engaged, creative, and thoughtful citizenry who can face with courage and conviction the challenges - political, economic, ecological, spiritual - that we face both nationally and internationally.'

America is literally falling apart. From natural disasters, to massive power blackouts, to bridge collapses, U.S. infrastructure has shown that it is not up to standards.

America s War on Terrorism

By James Bovard

Private cars packed with dynamite are evil, while guided missiles launched from government jet fighters that blow up cars driven by terrorist suspects are good, regardless of how many children are in the back seat at the time of the 'surgical strike.'

We are about to declare war again - did you notice? Perhaps the new war declaration escaped your view, sitting as it does on page 359 of a spending bill working its way through Congress, where only legislative aides seem to know about it. It was devised in a closed-door mark-up session of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act, now before the Senate, would let the armed forces 'detain' people who are part of or support Al Qaeda, the Taliban, or 'associated forces.' Detention is a war power. ... Osama bin Laden may be dead, but some people don t want the war to be...

A state of permanent war

CounterPunch

The 9/11 attacks, Osama bin Laden, global terrorism, and US military aggressions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya and elsewhere in the Muslim-Arab world can be better understood against this background: the systemic or internal dynamics of the military-industrial-security complex as an existentially-driven juggernaut to war and militarism that, in the aftermath of the Cold War era, needed all kinds of enemies and boogiemen in order to justify its continued usurpation of the lion s share of the public finance, or the US treasury...

CIA, Pentagon fight to keep 'Osama bin Laden' death photos secret

CIA National Clandestine Service Director wrote that the CIA has '52 unique....photographs and/or videorecordings' depicting bin Laden during or after the May operation. Bennett said all the imagery is classified 'TOP SECRET,' meaning that disclosure of the material could lead to 'exceptionally grave damage' to U.S. national security.
