Op Ed News - By Thom Hartmann - Jul. 25 (Opinion) - A very small niche of America's uber-wealthy have pulled off what may well be the biggest con job in the history of our republic, and they did it in a startlingly brief 30 or so years.

Op Ed News - By Lani Massey Brown - Nov. 21 (Editorial) - Kick that pitbull while she’s down. Will another Republican Darling bite the dust… sand… SNOW? A new ethics complaint filed against Sarah Palin evokes comparisons of Palin with another Republican Darling, former Secretary of State Katherine Harris. Dark hair, lipstick, ambition, ethics... failing upwards. Both were used badly. They have much in common after all.

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0800

Op Ed News - By Joel S. Hirschhhorn - Feb. 01 (Opinion) - Perhaps a global political apocalypse has already arrived. Evil forces and tyrannical governments have evolved. By learning from history and using new technology they have smarter tools of tyranny. The tools of real rebellion are weak.

The roots of the phony war on Christmas

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0800

Op Ed News - By Donna Halper - Dec. 26 (Opinion) - Well, it's another year, and we've survived the War on Christmas once more. Actually, this is a war that's much older than the War on Terror: it began way back in 1920 or so, when Henry Ford published his pernicious "The International Jew." As anti-Semites have often done, he blamed the Jews for trying to kill Christmas. Since then, conservatives have added other villains too: liberals, atheists, the ACLU, the Democrats... you get the idea.
