Living On the Diagonal

Like many of you, I became incensed and temporarily speechless by the audacity of Mitt Romney’s condescending and insulting remarks last week before his closest supporters and contributors. Mitt Romney still doesn’t get it! Romney took no prisoners in his     disdainful characterization of most Americans. Romney's remarks is overt, outright declaration of war never articulated precisely and unabashedly blatant in his utter contempt of the middle class. What is more abhorrent is his outright attack on the poorest, disabled and elderly.   If we leave Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to their "reform" and voucher approach to Medicare they will endanger millions of retired American citizens now and your benefits in the future. If you reverse, his same arguments apply them to himself and the wealthiest of Americans! The Future of Capitali$m is a blog that promotes ultra Conservative view of our capitalist system that consistently points to President Barak Obama as the force...

I believe my TIME is spent. Summer is gone. I am the last to know anything.  This I assure you from my experience of yesterday to those recent. The dark night carries forward on into today. For some unknown reason, I get everything turned backwards. Finally, now at summer’s end I will have my  Schwinn, one of two ever new, undergo repair. What backward movement repairing an old stalwart, contemplating the meaning, if any as winter approaches. This past spring a red cardinal sang the same solo to me each morning.  Awake and move Forward! As I sit sipping my coffee at the keyboard, I hear the familiar song of a beautiful Red Cardinal. It is a song beckoning to a female to join in union. I hear, than imagine how nature can employ a  persistent cry reaching much  farther than my courtyard window. Is it a simple calling to a personal me or one touching the lives of others? On the other hand, does its’ range more extensive. After all, millions of this same s...

Upon conclusion of the Democratic National Convention, the Election should be a landslide win for President Obama. However, the Republican Party has already intensified their efforts to sabotage the election by every possible method. It is reminiscent of Watergate but on a scale 50 times greater. I would guess that before President Clinton concluded his masterful speech, top GOP officials were assembling in clandestine groups with one goal in mind, to remove Barack Obama as President. The propaganda may surpass that employed by Nazi Germany in the rise of a sociopath. Here are some of scenarios I envision in the coming sixty days. A deluge of Romney Campaign Propaganda by way of a "shock and awe" or "blitzkrieg" upon the public to promote their misleading and new spins to reverse the truth of Democratic accomplishments and "take credit" for the same brave visionary actions. For example, Mr. Romney's "brass" opinion appearing in a NY Ti...

IT MAY BE THE ONE ISSUE MISSING FROM THE CONVENTIONS: A DISCUSSION OF NATIONAL HEALTH & MENTAL HEALTH CARE REFORM The Law is not OBAMACARE!   Bill Clinton "It's ARITHMETIC" Photo: AP As both the Republicans and Democrats wrapped up their conventions, Carol Robinson raised the issue of Mental Health Care and its absence from Republican Party floor discussion or from the Convention Speaker’s podium, (one exception may be Clint Eastwood’s performance). However, it did receive mention in President Clinton’s speech to the Democratic faithful. In keeping with my mission, ( Living on the Diagonal ) I thought to utilize simple Arithmetic to reproduce our discussion here. Carol Robinson I want a (National) discussion on the declining mental health system. I believe that there is a dearth of discussion on this issue. You have a PHD candidate who dyes his hair red, orders weapons on the internet and shoots up a movie theater. The Colorado incident is...
