Sat May 12, 2012 7:17 PM EDT

Many folks on the Vine are comfortable with the claim that the likely Republican candidate will be working hard and furiously for the 1%. It doesn't take a lot to realize that the same is also true of the Obama Administration. While one can make excuses for Obama, t …

It's Not My Life

Thu Apr 26, 2012 5:10 PM EDT

By Marshall James

About a week ago I did a little piece on the song "We're Not Gonna Take It." This week the new song is "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi. Being a Libertarian I tend to notice songs that have more of a independent tone to it. Songs that inspire individuality and risk I …

We're Not Going To Take It!!!

Tue Apr 17, 2012 12:45 PM EDT

By Marshall James

Back in 1984 the group Twisted Sister had a smash hit titled "We're Not Gonna Take It." It was a teen rebellion song against parents that nearly all young teens embraced. So here I am, a middle aged man, driving home from work listening to the oldies station last nigh …

One of the great gifts of NYC living is that it makes you acutely aware that every breath you take and step you make is an opportunity for someone to try to sell you something so you develop a radar like response to getting hustled. Very often it's dozens of appeals per se …

Wed Apr 4, 2012 2:00 PM EDT

By Marshall James

Racism seems to raise its ugly head in our national news every so often. ( Most recently of course is the case in Florida) It is however unfortunate, always around. Some places of course have higher rates than others. I am just curious as to what we as Ame …

Who Says The Individual Has No Power? How I Helped Alter The Campaign Stategy of Rick Santorum

Tue Apr 3, 2012 10:58 AM EDT

By Marshall James

That's right.....I helped alter Rick Santorum's campaign strategy. Marshall James has a voice, and it was heard. Many Americans complain that one person does not matter. That one vote, one voice means nothing in politics today. I am here to say …

Obama's the candidate of the rich, a failure for the 99%, a war-monger--not an excuse for voting Republican but not worth voting for and not worthy of any praise by Obamites and Obamists

Mon Apr 2, 2012 4:51 AM EDT

By Bart Gruzalski

For all Omamites (those who are taken in by Obama and Obamists) and Omamists (those who propagandize for Obama and support Obama unthinkingly, or because it's their job, because they work on his campaign, or because they are part of and spokespersons for the 1%): From a list pro …

There Is One Person the GOP Hates More Than President Obama.

Tue Mar 27, 2012 12:21 PM EDT

By Marshall James

There is one person that the GOP hates more than President Obama. I wasn't aware of this until this last weekend. Prior to that, I simply thought the GOP wanted to "beat" Obama and wanted that more than anything. Saturday was our GOP County Convention. For …

Why Hasn't OBAMA Withdrawn from Afghanistan. Why hasn't OBAMA denied any support to Israel for an attack on Iran and instead promised condemnation?

Tue Mar 20, 2012 11:56 AM EDT

By Bart Gruzalski

That US troops are still in Afghanistan is immoral, wasteful, criminal... why are we still there? What's wrong with Obama? Is he a puppet of the military-industrial establishment as many think? And why hasn't he told Israel point blank that there will be absolutely no …
