This is why there is no faith in the democratic party. They are claiming that they reformed healthcare, but they caved to pressure by businesses and right-wing fanatics.
We don't have an actual liberal party. Just conservatives and moderates.
This is why I'm a socialist.

GOP Wants You To Work To Death
They must be desperate if they are risking alienating senior citizens.
I agree that what we have in place isn't sustainable, but the answer is not to work the populace when they should be enjoying what little time they have before death. The answer, as usual, is to go where there is a surplus of money and that means taxing the rich.

Report on the War on Drugs in Mexico
The big problem with both drugs and illegal immigration from Mexico is the crippling poverty. America has a relationship of exploitation with this country and its only getting poorer due to one-sided American business interests.
The real solution to our problems with Mexico is to support the Mexican economy until it is able to support itself. Mexicans will be less inclined to come to America if they are making a good living at home. Less people will be involved in drug dealing if they have other profitable jobs available.

Wealth distribution
Enjoy.
Notice how the line graph illustrates a direct and inverse correlation between the income of the rich and the income of... well, not the poor, but the majority.
If you aren't studying economics, you can't understand our problems or how to get out of them. And if you are studying economics with the goal of exploiting it, you have no interest in facts, but only perceptions.
This is the equivalent of the church monopolizing the "truth" of God and the universe. We need economic scientists devoted to facts rather than an agenda of exploitation.

Grandma Shot For Being A Radical Idiot
Here is a story from my neck of the woods.
This is about an hour's drive from where I live.
Some people are calling this a tragedy or police abuse... I'm calling it fucking retarded.
1) You do not pull a gun on a census worker. That is some fucked up psycho shit. They are doing a job. If you hate the census that much, refuse to answer them.
2) You do NOT pull a gun on a cop. If you do, you better be prepared to (A) die or (B) go to jail for the rest of your life. Because chances are that one of those things is going to happen.
This is what happens when fascist radicals like Glenn Beck make people afraid of something as harmless as a census form.
The census is written into the constitution of this country. It is the foundation of our democracy. In order to represent the citizens, we have to know who they are. That is what the census is for.
But these assholes clearly thought that it was part of some socialist Obama conspiracy.
I hope this is the only time in my life when I don't have sympathy for a grandma being shot by the cops.
She pulled a gun. Never pull a gun on a person unless you are prepared to use it and/or die... especially when you pull it on other people with guns... and ESPECIALLY when those people have the law behind them.
Jesus Christ.

TYT: Franken in the Senate, Grayson in the House
I've been watching these videos from The Young Turks. Essentially, these people made their own news show and put it on YouTube. The host is a bit obnoxious, but the content is fantastic.
Anyway, here is Al Franken rockin' health care reform.
UPDATED
Alan Grayson also rocks health care.
