The Tale of Two Parties

By Loren Adams, 02.08.2015

Have American progressives given up on reforming the country before sea levels crush Manhattan and Miami? I have. For several reasons.

The two-party system is the primary, not that I subscribe to the theory “both-sides-do-it.” Because they don’t. The false equivalency may be carried on by marshmallow pundits on Sunday news programs, but in reality one party advocates for the destruction of the middle class and the other tolerates their absurdities. In the sense that the general public and working class are in decline by design, both parties are at fault.

GREED IS GOOD, GREED IS GOD - The Marriage of Religion and Politics in Modern America

by Loren Adams, 01.18.2015

America is cooked, in my view. CITIZENS UNITED didn’t pound the final nail. But America’s addiction to pseudo-religiosity did – a derivative of Christianity which drifted far from the teachings of its revered founder, Jesus Christ – coagulating into a national movement more resembling Jonestown  than a community of principled devotees to the pure Gospel.

DON’T CRY OVER SPILT MILK?

By Loren Adams  - 12.14.14

Mom often tried to soften the blow when innocent accidents befell us around the house, “Honey, don’t cry over spilt milk.”

The 2014 Mid-Terms, to a few centrists, are just “spilt milk” where Democrats and progressives shouldn’t be caught weeping over ominous losses. Another old admonishment from the Bush years, “Just move on,” is dusted off and served. “Can’t change damage done; so get over it.”

THE CATALYST TO CATASTROPHE

By Loren Adams, 11.09.2014

Who deliberately violated his solemn oath to uphold the Constitution in his insatiable quest to gain political power? Who currently not only advocates voter suppression but engineers it all across the land? Who works hand-in-glove with the Koch brothers to destroy democracy, remaking America into a Third World oligarchy? Who served as the political guru commissioned to deceive the American people into war, engineered stolen national elections, personally

The Right Sells a Fridge to an Eskimo While Dems Can't Sell a Fly Swatter to a Fertilizer Farmer

By Loren Adams on 10.12.2014

As the world is about to read the Democrats’ obituary for the 2014 Election, an autopsy has already begun to find the why’s and wherefore’s. Of course, there are several reasons for the leading party’s defeat despite its demographic advantage. In a nutshell, here’s the crux: passivity. Passion (on the right) vs. passivity (on the left): which do you think will win? The right expresses passion – however unfounded and artificial it may be – while the left shows passivity.

Where’s Justice, America?

by Loren Adams, 9.14.2014

This theory sounds reasonable on surface: “Don’t upset the apple cart to extract a few bad ones. Keep the cart upright, because disrupting government at any level to prosecute high-profiles will only lead to future retaliation – further unsettling the country.” Nixon’s early-exit somehow haunts Democrats more than Republicans – only because they realize Republicans stick to an unending vendetta, despite the fact Nixon’s crimes against democracy were proven beyond a reasonable doubt (and on-tape, none-the-less).
