Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to my blog. It's amazing to me how I've managed to go this long without starting a political blog considering how much a believe in the Progressive cause. But, I finally decided it was time to create a place where I can vent my steam a little at where this country is heading, and hopefully some of you will find what I have to say interesting as well.

I'm happy to have adult conversations with anyone at any time, but please, keep the racist, right wing propaganda to yourself. Just to be clear "I heard it on the Glen Beck Show" doesn't make it a fact. Actually, it's probably proof that it's not true, and is more likely just the lunitic ravings of a very ill person. Same goes for pretty much anything that is being spewed foth on "Fixed" News, and anyone who has a show on that travesty of the news organization.

Just to be clear, I'm without a doubt a Liberal, and yes I really don't think that's a nasty word, nor am I ashamed of it. Yes I believe that we all should be helping each other, and that one of the best vehicles to do that is the government. I also believe that the corporations in the country have pretty much bought and paid for the politicians. We no longer have a government that is representative of the people and it's time to change that. I'll spend some time outlining exactly what I think in upcoming posts, but suffice it to say that until we get our elected official back representing our interests, and not the interests of Big Business, the little guy (and that's the vast majority of the people in this country) is going to continue to get the short end of the stick.

So, here we go, hang on tight, this MIGHT just be a bumpy ride!
