    why is the middle class for increased immigration and the low incomes against?

    I don't think it's a secret any more that the Democratic Party is now the party of the very rich and of the non-manufacturing middle class, and the Republican Party is the party of everyone else. [Increased immigration isn't a matter of good or bad, it is a lot more nuanced. I can't think of...

    Left and right all switched around

    The Media is fooling people as usual. Low income people like me see high levels of immigration pushing up rents and competing for low paid employment. Wealthy people see high levels of immigration as a source of cheap labor and more renters. In the 2016 election both Bernie and Donald said a...

    Political Polarization

    is a media-made lie. It seems common sense and agrees with my own experience that people all want pretty much the same things.

    How has our version of neoliberalism worked out?

    Elements of both parties have to bear the shame of this, or was that share the blame? The liberalism term comes from laissez-faire economic liberalism and free market capitalism rather than from classical liberalism. The result of applying neoliberalism in the US has been to open low income...

    Fallacies that impede progress

    The Blue vs Red fallacy A few years ago I completed an online quiz about which party did the President who enacted this policy or that policy belong to. It was only after I was puzzled by many questions and got a fair few wrong that I realized having two parties was more about passing the...

    What is the difference between the Republican Party and the Democrat Party?

    Another way of looking at the 2016 election

    1. One way of looking at the 2016 election is the time-honoured method of taking sides, with voters picking Republican or Democrat candidates irrespective of the actual reality. Going back to 1916 it was the Democrat candidate reelected on the slogan "he kept us out of war". But there was an...

    Where has my party gone?

    I would have voted for Nixon, LBJ was terrible, Nixon tried to restrain government spending but the Reader's Digest took out a full page ad and shamed him into a huge expenditure to do an end run to cure cancer by testing every known substance. The Kennedy / LBJ Vietnam War cost so much the...

    Rats leaving a sinking Trump sink

    Many Republicans leaders within the party have come out against Trump over the last few weeks and stating their support for Hillary, what the heck is wrong with these people? What has driven them to support someone that doesn't even come close to holding their ideals or values...

    God is not American!

    It will come as a shock to many but here goes...God is not an American, neither is He a Republican, neither is He a Dallas Cowboys fan. God does not bless any nation (America included) unless they sincerely repent of the sins, and genuinely believe Him, no matter how much they sing that tired...

    Why does it make any difference whether a candidate is Democrat or Republican?

    Aren't they obliged to obey the superPAC(s) who paid for their campaign?
