Loss of The Butcher, The Baker & Candle Stick Maker

I am in a rather odd place and time you see because I started in the age of out houses, to see a man on the moon and yes being able to write stuff that perhaps millions will read but way of the computer. Mind you I was just a bit player in all of this it provides my means to a living. In many ways out here information is both used and abused with recent events even dwelling upon fair use of public information. I do however recall just how green of a life not only did my parents, but grand parent… Continue

Congress Passes Resolution Against Move On

Does the GOP remember what this country is all about what it is founded upon? I think they are a party of despotisms there is only one answer there is only one party and even their individual members do not think for their self or act upon the voters wishes but the party agenda. That may strike a cord with people over 30 years old sounds a lot like what we used to fight against.

So the real issue here is not the message or

Free Speech Now Days

When I watched this video it really outraged me. I had not seen such bold police violation of civil rights since the 1960's and early 70's. While I tend to lean center to the left I am also outraged at John Kerry who stood there like a spineless jackass and did not tell the police to back off. He who almost made president clearly has no fundamental appreciation of our Constitution. And I doubt many in office understand the Constitution they think they stars and fact is they

Lets Not Forget Yusuf Islam

If your young Yusuf Islam was known as Cat Stevens he was turned back upon his first entry back to the USA after 30 years. A bit of History Peace Train a song among many but after 30 years he said there are many reasons to return and his music is still valid and will continue to be so. His return is no accident nor rejection but he is one that… Continue

Joan Baez Banned at Walter Reed Hospital

As reported today by the Associated Press folk singer Joan Baez was banned from Walter Reed Hospital after accepting a request by John Mellencamp to appear with him in a free concert for returning vets recovering at Walter Reed.

This is yet another example of the right wing clamp down on the arts. Time and time again they want to make sure some left wing people are excluded from supporting vets. She was trying to correct a wrong from the 60's and 70's and the DOD wants to continue the m… Continue
