Jim Hightower, Truthout: 'OK, Barack Obama has not exactly turned out to be Mount Rushmore material, but - good God! - the petulant pettiness of right-wing Republican congressional leaders has turned them into a national embarrassment. America has big needs right now. But those needs are not even being addressed, because little whiney ideologues like Eric Cantor, the GOPs House majority leader, keep throwing hissy fits, demanding that they get their way, or there will be no way. Of course, their way - on everything from tax policy to Wall Street regulation - is always the corporate way.'

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'Today, much more so, I believe we are witnessing an unprecedented shift in American popular culture toward an utterly depraved form of aesthetics. Images that shocked one generation of viewers and then produced alienation and indifference in the next, have become even more sensationalized, as people eagerly and brazenly consume displays of aggression, brutality and death. In what follows, I suggest that this culture of cruelty is part and parcel of the growing influence of neoliberal policies across all sectors.'

The Republican Party No Longer Has Its Country s Best Interests at Heart

Cliff Schecter, Truthout: 'Once upon a time, in a land that now seems to have been populated by tooth fairies and unicorns, there was a political party that had a set of core beliefs to which they actually adhered. Today, this once respectable organization has turned into nothing so much as a collective id the size of a David Vitter Pampers shopping spree. When facing changes to this nation that make them uncomfortable, they choose national hate. When facing ideological worship versus the greatness of the US, the former always wins the day. When facing a choice of what is good for the US or their personal bank accounts, they inevitably go with the latter.'

Six Extreme Right-Wing Attacks by ALEC in State Governments

Lisa Graves and Brendan Fischer, PRWatch: 'Model' bills voted on by corporations through the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) touch almost every aspect of American life. The Center for Media and Democracy has analyzed and made available over 800 ALEC model bills to allow other reporters and the public to track corporate influence in state legislatures across the country (and in Congress)....'

Sibel Edmonds, Truthout: ''Sibel Edmonds is a former language specialist for the FBI, where she reported serious acts of security breaches and cover-ups, for which she was retaliated against and ultimately fired....
