Doc Bentley Should Do What’s Best For Patients With Medicaid Expansion

By Leave a Comment

As I was standing along the guard rails at Gov. Bentley’s inauguration parade on Monday, I overheard on a nearby police radio that there were protesters in the area.

Now, I had heard that a few protesters had turned their back on the governor during his speech earlier in the day, but I was hoping for an all-out 60’s-style protest — posters with clever phrases, screaming and howling half-naked hippies, maybe even a guy with a guitar singing about the onslaught of oppression across the country.

Needless to say, I was left wanting.

The Door Mat Party

As I was listening to NPR this morning, I heard a voice of reason, a voice of intelligence and decency, booming across the airwaves. This voice wasn’t unfamiliar to me, as I am already a big supporter of the man, but all the same it was an early morning blessing to hear Sen. Bernie Sanders on the air.

At any rate, the focus of Sanders’ rant this morning was the epic failure of the Democratic Party to represent America’s working class, the millions of men and women who struggle each day to keep their heads above water.

As working Americans look to Washington for help and understanding, they see little more than a desert flooded with dried-out creatures seeking dollar bills to horde in their caves. Not only that, they see large, scaly reptiles working to sacrifice smaller ones to their corporate gods and slimy, side-winding belly crawlers dodging beneath the shade of dried brush so as to not agitate their large reptilian opponents.

Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald gave an interview that, were it properly analyzed and circulated globally, should turn geopolitics on its head and destroy the critics who claimed he was taking a political “side” in his appearance at ‘The Moment of Truth.‘

Greenwald’s answers to leading Kiwi political commentator and new media aficionado Russell Brown gets to the heart of the largest conceivable electoral issue: one that makes it clear our politicians are little more than reality TV stars in a projected fantasy; an illusion of democracy and governance that masks our true rulers.

The resulting conversation gives further context to the revelations of the warrant-less spying and mass-surveillance activities of the GCSB, New Zealand’s equivalent of the NSA:
