We Are Being Played! The increase in violence in Iraq has caused an increase in the rhetoric and actions against the Iranian government. Yet, the majority of the violence directed at Americans is not from the Shia extremists - it is from the Sunni extremists - funded by the Saudis. We are being played. Told that violence is coming from one enemy yet ignoring the ally that pays to kill our soldiers. The government will not allow the truth because oil and money is involved. Yet, what is...

The State of Our Union - This week saw the President give a State of the Union. In his speech, he lays down the framework for a war against Iran. He failed to keep us up to date with Katrina recovery. He also offered a plan to make health insurance tax deductible. On this podcast, I will discuss each of those issues. At the end of the week, cities across the nation held protests against the War in Iraq. I attended that event and recorded speeches from the key speakers, spoke with...

Civil War & The N-Word - NBC finally took the plunge that many people already knew. They have taken a "courageous" claim in declaring the war in Iraq as a Civil War. It's about time. Glad they joined the club of many people who have called this a civil war. Now, find out what that means and why the government is refusing to acknowledge this fact. The incident with Michael Richards has sparked controversy, but has it caused us to go down the wrong road to censorship. Maybe George...

The No-Fly List – On this Podcast, I will review the history, purpose and dangers to American travelers found in the government’s No-Fly List. Did you know there are actually two lists? Surprised – well, this information at times will shock you at how the names are compiled, how people are subjected to the list, the major loopholes in the list and what to do if you are kept from flying. Is it a government plan to keep liberals and progressive opposed to this administration from flying? ...

The 2006 Midterm Elections The Elections are over and the ripple effect has begun. Although, there is much to enjoy about the end of the One Party Rule, we still have much work to do. From Election Reform to Accountability, we need to hold this new Democratic House and Senate in check. There are a myriad of problems left unaddressed by the 109th Congress and the White House. It's now time to fix them. Plus - A Global Warming Update, the President's Horoscope, a Word from Our Sponsor...

Iraq Without any doubt, Iraq is the key issue of our times. It will define our strategy and discussion for years, perhaps decades, due to how it was mishandled and the incredible amount of government waste. I will try to cover the history of the Iraq War in a five minute song. However, our strategy, as progressives, should be to take the debate from the point of the start of the war and how this government must be accountable for its failures. Even the conservatives amongst you have to agree...
