Quote of the day

"People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little."

 

--Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 

 

Quote of the day -- on a jobs/infrastructure bill from this Congress

“The middle class of America is collapsing … poverty is up and the rich are doing phenomenally well. What do you do? What you do is say that in America we are going to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. By doing that we're going to create millions of jobs,” 

--Sen. Bernie Sanders said Friday on The O’Reilly Factor on Fox News.



America needs the jobs an infrastructure bill from this Congress would provide.

We need the infrastructure repair and improvements.

The economy needs the boost.

Why isn't this being done?

Why isn't this a "no-brainer"?

Why aren't we raising hell?

Quote of the day -- on sincerity

“You can be sincere and still be stupid.” 

― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Russian novelist, who died on this date in 1881, at age 59.

We need the Fairness Doctrine badly, folks

I'm telling you, after the video I saw and posted yesterday, of Governor Rick Perry of Texas, saying they want and need to buck Washington and their power and efforts, I'm more concerned than ever about where we're headed as a nation.

That little exercise of his yesterday has brought out some of the most ugly and divisive comments on the internet and I'm concerned where this is taking us.

Instead of still and always thinking of ourselves as Americans and being cohesive, we're getting more and more divided as "us vs. them", no matter who the "us" or "them" is.

And Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter and Larry Kudlow are taking us there and it's really negative and damaging to the country.

It's dangerous, folks.

We're splintering ourselves into millions of tiny, militant, angry groups, who just want to "get even."

And we need to stop it.
