I went to a protest in Philadelphia this past Saturday, and it was more disheartening than anything else. It was against the wars and various other injustices, with a special focus on he recent FBI raids of peace activists and Pennsylvania Homeland Security spying on innocent civilians and activists.

By the end of it, I kind of just felt like going up to the megaphone and asking, “How much moral outrage can one person muster? There are more people handing out fliers here than not, and with this country committing so many disgusting, outrageous acts, I don’t blame you.” I won’t lie, I handed a few out myself. Yet the contrast between the righteous causes featured in the speeches and on the signs and on the fliers and the, as a fellow protester said to me, “complete lack of solidarity” was striking.

We keep hearing from right-wing pretenders to the progressive label that the left doesn’t organize or offer ideas. Let’s prove them wrong.

“When Jesus saw the large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.” This disturbed Glenn because not one of them presented an insurance card. It seemed a bit “socialist” to him.

Glenn Beck, don’t worry–you didn’t waste our time by having Eric Massa on.

For far to long we’ve assumed Bernie Sanders isa Progressive in the Senate. Vet his votes and actions seem to indicate otherwise.

Who’s got talent? Obama’s New Jersey Kids vs Bush Bible Babes.

At a super-secret meeting on Wednesday, the RNC will debate and vote on a resolution calling on the Democratic Party to rename itself the “Democrat Socialist Party.” How should the Republicans be re-branded?
