Dealing With A Serial Liar

Posted on April 24, 2017 by johnrachel

Serial killers and career politicians are very similar. They both have us at their mercy. They both have the power of life and death over us. They don’t play by the same rules as you and I. They are ruthlessly amoral. There is only one way to deal with a serial killer. There is only one way to deal with lying politicians. They must be taken out of circulation. They must be isolated so they can never inflict abuse and suffering on others ever again. Continue reading →

Line of Succession: Just when you thought it was safe to . . .

Posted on February 2, 2017 by johnrachel

Trump is an easy target. But impeaching him accomplishes nothing. It merely sets up month-after-month, year-after-year of more impeachment hearings. What Trump represents will not go away just because he does. Regime change in Congress is the only option and the only viable place to focus our time, energy and creativity. There are 33 Senate seats and 435 House seats up for grabs in the 2018 election. That’s where our power resides. That’s how we mount a real revolution and turn back the tide of corporate totalitarianism. Continue reading →

Candidate Contracts: Replacing Bad Brains With Good Brains

Posted on May 3, 2016 by johnrachel

The brains of our elected officials, the monsters who roam the two legislative bodies of our government, the Senate and the House of Representatives, have been corrupted by money, effectively destroyed, are now lacking the capacity to fulfill their constitutional mandate. They no longer are controlled by the citizens who elected them to office. These bad brains now are exclusively the lapdogs of the rich and powerful. We must replace the bad brains.

Extreme? Radical? Or just realistic?

Posted on March 30, 2014 by johnrachel

Is it extreme to expect honest representation? Is it radical to want a functioning democracy? Or is it just realistic to expect our system of government to work for all of us, not just the privileged and powerful? 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 →

Posted on December 13, 2013 by johnrachel

There’s a smugness that has overwhelmed our political system. It’s the patronizing, know-it-all, self-congratulating, self-important smugness of our elected officials. Time to do something about it. Continue reading →
