July 17, 2010 By
Sherwood Ross: Get it straight: the best remedy for what ails America is to pay working people fairly. It is the toil and dollars of the American people that made America great.
Sarah Running in 2012
July 17, 2010 By
Tom Degan: What if we were to wake up on the morning after the election to find the jackasses on FOX and Friends beside themselves with glee, chanting like rabid little myna birds , “PRESIDENT-ELECT PALIN! PRESIDENT-ELECT PALIN!”
Soccer Bombing Should Not Prompt More U.S. Meddling
July 17, 2010 By
Ivan Eland: The synchronized and unconscionable bombings by the Somali group al-Shabab—of people doing nothing more than watching soccer games in Kampala, Uganda—counterintuitively illustrates why the United States should not be fighting Islamic militancy worldwide. Many of America’s editorial writers are screaming for stepped-up U.S. counterterrorism strikes in Somalia against the group. This option would be the worst possible course of action.
The Right Side of History: Religious Leaders Urge Immigration Reform
July 16, 2010 By

California NAACP Right to Support Legalized Marijuana Prop 19
July 16, 2010 By
David Love: The California NAACP is under fire when it should be applauded for its courage. Alice Huffman is carrying out the mission of her organization, ensuring that it protects civil rights and remains relevant in changing times. Should we expect her to do less?

When Teachers Unions Back War Escalations
July 16, 2010 By
David Swanson: There is nothing altruistic in the idea of peace activists helping workers and the unemployed here at home. That’s how you build a movement for any political end, and that’s how you keep our young people from becoming cannon fodder.
BP’s Oiled Pelicans: “They Look Like Dead Angels in the Sand”

Ex-Gay Minister Drives Gays From Boston’s Gospelfest
July 16, 2010 By
Rev. Irene Monroe: With Pastor Donnie McClurkin, the poster boy for African American ex-gay ministries, who spews anti-gay religion-based vitriol, billed as the main event, many in the African American lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) communities will not be in attendance at this year’s event. And neither will the mayor.
Pot Smokers: The Only Group in History Asking to Be Taxed More

Movies Ignore Corporate Wrongdoers, Populist Messages
July 15, 2010 By
Randy Shaw: Many believe that Hollywood films provide escapist entertainment, and should not be seen as sending political messages. We are told that studios are about making money, and that they would make tribute films to Karl Marx if that were good for the box office. Well, the historic record and the films of 2010 say otherwise.
10 More That Shoulda Made The Top 10
