  America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. ~Abraham Lincoln   Lincoln’s words are as true today as they were over 160 years ago when he first spoke them. Since the birth of our nation [...]

However when it comes to male dominated sports, [...]

In their Class War against Americans, what the wealthy fail to understand is blowback. Once a democracy no longer serve its people, they stop looking to elections to solve their problems and take their destiny (and pitchforks and torches) into their own hands.

Once Americans realize why the rich keep getting richer while they seem stuck in Po’-Town-USA, they may very well redirect their anger in a way that Tea Party, Inc. fears the most.

Please sign and circulate this petition that asks the Department of Justice to aggressively investigate and fight voter laws that suppress the Constitutional right of Americans to vote.

Last week, I was here in Las Vegas to celebrate the end of DADT. Once (and hopefully future) Congresswoman Dina Titus discussed what happened in the last session of Congress to make this happen, and representatives from Harry Reid‘s office and Shelley Berkley’s office were also on hand to share [...]

I truly think Californian Democratic “operative” David O Atkins needs to listen to this song:- If he’s a good boy, drinks his milk and goes to bed early and reads his history, he’ll find that song applied to all but two Democratic Presidents in the 20th Century and the Vice-Presidents [...]

We have a unique opportunity to have the Obama Administration review and consider proposals and agendas that the people here at The Planet want our President to act on so let’s take advantage of this great opportunity ASAP!

This weekend’s music theme is a salute to the lovely ladies here and elsewhere, unforgettable songs about women and sung by women. It’s Ladies Night (and day) at The Planet’s Music thread, sorry guys, you have to pay the cover this time around!

AdLib : Well, looks like time to wrap up this edition of Vox Populi. Thanks to all for a rousing discussion. Watch out for falling satellites and have a great weekend! See you next week! AdLib : Night AD, have a wonderful weekend! Khirad : Night Em and AD. ADONAI [...]

Okay, it’s rigged this time with questions voted on by Baggers but maybe the hatred and stupidity of these dwarves will show through. Please feel free to live blog with us during the “debate”.

In recent months, we have seen a drastic and alarming increase in the number of laws passed that would restrict a woman’s right to choose. After the elections of 2010 when the Republicans swept many state legislatures and governorships, it has been much easier to push through right-wing legislation with [...]

Last night’s execution of a man who many on the right and left believed was not proven to have committed a crime beyond a reasonable doubt, also killed confidence in a core principle in our American legal system.

It wasn’t an easy ride to Tonopah on Saturday, especially not since NDOT had construction delays near Goldfield. So many of us from Vegas were already in a crabby mood when the NSDP Central Committee meeting got started. And many of the folks from Reno and the rurals were still [...]

It’s ironic that this song was out around the time the Democratic Party imploded the first time. That was before most of this generation of whiners was about, so they wouldn’t remember. What’s even more oxymoronic is that some of these kidults are even getting elected to fairly important positions [...]

As this video shows, there is only one magical cure for all that ails America and Americans…tax cuts!

This was the scene outside Dean Heller’s Las Vegas office today. While Senator Dean Heller (R-”Tea Party”) continues to oppose anything he considers “not good enough“, meaning not painful enough for working class Nevadans, our country faces deep problems. This isn’t the first time Heller has felt the heat from [...]

When I was growing up in a Democratic kitchen, my parents made the difference between Democrats and Republicans abundantly clear. Keep in mind that this was in the 1960s, and I was a small child, just starting school, when Kennedy was elected. Before I knew the real difference between Democrats [...]

Imagine if a molester was stopped from molesting and claimed that doing so was molesting him. Now you know how the GOP deals with attempts to interrupt the ongoing class warfare by the wealthy against 99% of Americans.

This weekend, we invite you to reach back to songs you enjoyed when you were younger or songs from before you were born. Classical, jazz, blues, pop or rock, songs from the past that stay with you.

And while the Republicans keep playing in “Tea Party Fantasyland”, a record 46.2 million Americans were hit by poverty last year. If there is ever a time to shift into overdrive to focus on job creation and put money in people’s pockets again, it’s now.

AdLib : Tax increases cause swine flu, make you lose hair and turn your children against you. PatsyT : Gee if Tax Cuts can do all this, imagine what Tax Increases would do ? AdLib : The only things Tax Cuts won’t do is make you unhappy, shorter or less [...]

In the modern era of punditry and media, we have now become accustomed to news being a never ending chain predictions. As the crude saying goes, predictions are like assholes, every news show has them.
