Of Noodges And Nukes: Roseanne Barr Wants To Drop A Bomb On UC Davis

February 13, 2015 By Cindy Sheehan for the Soapbox People’s Network Leave a Comment

I’d like to thank the universal goodness that former comedian turned death monger Roseanne Barr does not (I hope) have access to nuclear weapons.

I say “former” comedian because in the last few years Barr has taken a decidedly unfunny turn and outlook on life.

After Barr accused Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein of being a “Zionist” in the 2012 Green Party primaries (which Stein won and Barr lost), and after running for president on the ticket of the stridently antiwar Peace and Freedom Party, Barr has used her Twitter account to become a mega-Zionist. I stopped following her after she urged Israel to nuke Iran. As a human being, nothing to me is more monstrous.

Recently, the person who used her acting skills to convince me and the Peace and Freedom Party that she was also about peace tweeted this to her almost 300k followers on Twitter:

#BlackLivesMatter: Riots And Rally Cries

December 9, 2014 By Ricky Riley 2 Comments

The shooting of an unarmed youth, Michael Brown, struck a spark in the hearts of minorities wanting to have equal and fair treatment when dealing with the police. The Black Lives Matter Movement came out of Ferguson, Missouri but it spread across the nation on November 24 with the news that Darren Wilson would not be indicted for his actions.

The case is confusing and too convoluted to get into here. However, the root of the case has nothing to do with either one of these people. It goes back to a trend of excessive police force in black and brown communities in order to “protect” whites. It is about police engagement and how much authority police are given in situations of arrest. Darren Wilson and Michael Brown are opposing symbols. And the nation witnesses this.

How The Mainstream Media Lost All Credibility & Why It’s Too Late To Save It

September 17, 2014 By David Rushton 10 Comments

When I was younger we didn’t have social media or alternative news sources, rather we had network TV news. Channels like CNN and Fox and the local stations (channel 6 ABC Action News). They would deliver breaking news and more. We didn’t question it; we took it as truth. Looking back at the news from […]
