Just Say Why

Is the Death Penalty Murder?
by
David Schlecht

Is it appropriate for a government to be killing its citizens? If the error rate on executions is really 1 in 10, is capital punishment too outdated and barbaric for a modern society?

Was Troy Davis innocent? Does it really matter? Is it enough that we weren’t sure? Even if we were sure, are we any better than murderers when we murder our people?

I don’t have the answers. What are your thoughts?

Note to Obama — Updated
Matthew K.

Hey, Obama, come to your senses. You’re hurting America, you’re hurting the Democratic party and you’re hurting your chances of reelection.

Pay attention Obama. The way you’re negotiating with the failed Republican policies is destroying us all. We need a strong leader. We need someone who doesn’t meet the idiots half way.  You’re not half an idiot and the American voters don’t want to vote for half an idiot. Stop acting like one. Stop meeting the idiots half way to idiotville.

You have one chance left to remain relevant. Stand firm. That, Obama, is your only chance.

This past election should be a big wakeup call to you. The Democrats aren’t going to vote for half an idiot, even if the Republicans vote for the total psychopath.

Call the idiots what they are and stand firm and the Democrats and the moderates will come to your side. They have nowhere else to go, well, excerpt home, and that’s not good for you or us or America.

Update: Way to go Obama! Today’s speech is exactly the kind of language we’ve been needing. The Republicans have to be called on their stupid ideas or the average voter will not realize how insane they really are. Keep up this type of rhetoric and you will see your support skyrocket.

Still, though, you have to realize that the middle class the the poor have been sacrificing for the benefit of the rich for thirty years now. It’s time you stopped saying we need to cut more from those who have already sacrificed too much.

Obama, Stand Up For Your Convictions

Sign the petition telling Obama to stand up for his Progressive values:

America did not vote for a middle of the road president. We voted for the Obama that ran on concrete and progressive issues. America did not vote for a half Democrat half Republican. Stop meeting in the middle with those who are holding our jobs hostage, holding FEMA hostage, holding the debt ceiling hostage.

Negotiating with terrorists only makes them demand more.

The Job Killers

Matthew K.

Have you read the news about how Obama wants to call a joint session of congress to give a “Jobs Speech”? Then you’ve read that the Republicans have denied him. This is the first time in America’s history that any president has ever been denied a special session of congress. The first time!

And this is the time in America’s history when we need more attention paid to jobs. But, the Republicans aren’t interested.

By now I hope everyone in America can see the Republican party for what they really are. The JOB KILLERS.

Finding solutions to our jobs crisis is not of any interest to them. They can’t raise a single finger to make it happen.

They lie to us all day long about how they’re the job creators and the billionaires they’re funneling more and more of our money to are the job creators and we have fewer and fewer jobs.

America. Are you paying attention? Quit voting for the lying Republicans. You’re destroying America.

Oh, by the way, the working middle and lower class are the real job creators.

Who Are the Job Creators?

Dave Speck

Who are the job creators? It’s the customers!

Is America Waking Up Yet?
Dave Speck

I America waking up yet?

I believe so. I talk to more people every day who are realizing that this may be our last chance to fix what is destroying America.

We have the press afraid to tell us that the Republicans were responsible for the last great depression and the same Republican policies have gotten us into this mess again.

It’s simple. Honestly. Giving more money to the greedy only made the last depression worse and here we are, trying it again. Only once we had jobs programs and the biggest jobs program of them all, WWII, did we really save our country.

Unfortunately, unlike the last depression, we no longer have a press and no longer have an economic base, industry.

We can fix this mess but we have to start today, for tomorrow will, indeed, be too late.

The Debt Crisis Speeches
Matthew K.

The Republicans have been trying to engineer this debt limit into a world-ending crisis. Even though they have increased the limit time after time when a Republican is president. Now, suddenly it’s a crisis. It’s a fake crisis and the Republicans are trying to make political hay while holding our country’s economy hostage.

Here are the two word clouds from Obama’s speech and Boener’s reply. Look at the words that are used the most (those in larger font) and compare the two. Obama’s speech was about solving the problem, it was about working together to move America forward.

Here is Obama’s word cloud:

Now look at Boehner’s speech word cloud and see what words he used the most. It is obvious his sole purpose was to attack the president. Anyone who listened to the speech knew that it was disrespectful to America and disrespectful to our president. Here is Boehner’s word cloud:

As always, when the Republicans have nothing to contribute all they can do is attack the other side.  It sure gets old. Sooner or later the Republican voters will realize that their party is destroying our country.
