The Ultimate Wedge Issue Test

Posted on September 26, 2022 by johnrachel

Enough is enough! Which starts with us no longer being gullible fools. Those in power will continue to lie to us, continue rigging the system in their favor and that of their patrons, the privileged elite, if we let them. Time to get serious about installing a government of the people, by the people, for the people. By electing “people’s candidates” who have proven themselves worthy of our vote. Continue reading →

What Red State vs. Blue State Looks Like To An Ant

Posted on July 30, 2016 by johnrachel

We are being kept disorganized and submissive by focusing on what divides us instead of what unites us. Bickering and name-calling only postpones serious efforts to address the greatest challenges we have ever faced and assures the inevitability of collapse and possible extinction of the human race. It’s time to put aside the “gang colors” of political parties and get some serious work done. We can start with the current election. If candidates don’t want to talk about real issues, they don’t deserve our votes. Continue reading →

What part of “Listen to me!” didn’t you understand?

Posted on September 24, 2015 by johnrachel

It appears that there is one sane person running for president, and that person is to an impressive degree “listening” to the American public and willing to fight for a better life for all Americans, not just the privileged few. Unfortunately, Mr. Sanders doesn’t understand that the policies he currently embraces on defense and international relations will sabotage his noble intentions and the quality of life for everyday Americans will continue to decline, if we don’t end up in a nuclear war with Russia and/or China, in which case there won’t be any life on Earth at all. It’s up to us to straighten him out! Sanders has some solid ideas and a good heart. But on the military and American empire, unfortunately he’s dead wrong. If he wants our votes, we should put him on notice. He must rethink these critical items and clean up his act. Then and only then can we give him our 100% support. Continue reading →

It’s Nothing Personal

Posted on January 31, 2014 by johnrachel

Our elected representatives may or may not be nice folks. It’s irrelevant. They are out of touch and working day and night in opposition to the interests of the majority of Americans. Time to give them their walking papers. Continue reading →
