Privatization Of Emergency Services
Part of the Neoliberal Agenda is to raid core Government services for cash they can plop in Billionaires’ pockets. You certainly see this in the Charter School movement which seeks to ravage the Education budgets of States and Municipalities by providing sub-standard results, using public resources at below market rates, and stealing money from Unionized …

So define ‘Liberal’ for me.
I’m obviously confused. You see to me ‘Liberal’ means socially progressive and non-discriminatory, someone who’s in favor of economic equality and the Labor movement, someone who believes in democracy and accountability to the electorate, a person who values courage and accuracy in reporting.

St. Crispin’s Day
If we are mark’d to die, we are enow to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honour. God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more. By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; it yearns …

O Brexit Tree, O Brexit Tree
I come to you tonight with mixed emotions and a confused forecast.

Another Example That We Are Living In The End Times
So you know about deep fried butter right? Provided you happen to have a fry-o-lator it’s not really a complicated recipe. Take a stick of butter and put it on a skewer of some sort, freeze it so it’s rock hard. When you’re ready to eat, dip it in batter and dunk it in your …
