I was wrong again; Steele is just and idoit.

And a liar, and a moron, and bad for Maryland. Can't Maryland agree that the second in command of this awful administration should not be allowed to sully our states name by bring his brand of retro policy to the federal level. Steele, Ehrlich, Bush, and the Republican Party have brought us with in 5 years of a new Great Depression and really, not even the business community wants that. Let’s get together and say no to the fiscal policies of the twenties.

I'm reading the new Jonathan Alter book The Defining Moment - which has really opened my eyes to how FDR became the best President since Lincoln. If there are any DEM candidates out there that haven't read it, they should. FDR was slipperier that Bush, plus he was smart. He was as "elitist" as Kerry, but won the support of the poor and working class in America (by the way he rewarded them by creating the Middle Class.)

In the book Alter details the economic structure of America prior to the New Deal, and as I continue through it, it becomes increasingly apparent that the GOP uber plan is to roll us back to that structure. The danger of that is that: 1) 30% of our population will die of starvation or lack of healthcare. 2) A Banking collapse even more catastrophic than during the Depression. 3) The collapse of Capitalism (not the worst thing in my opinion, but what will replace it? Fascism?) 4) The US will no longer be able to solve it's own problems, much less the problems of the world.

The good news is we will have no use for oil; we won't have a change of affording it. And since all of the chemical companies will be bankrupt, no more pollution - and since we will need to hunt and fish to keep ourselves alive - that's great.

Here on Secure Your Rights I will be referring to the GOP and "The Party of the Past" from now on. Here is to November and a casting out of the idiots (from both parties re: Joe from Connecticut.)
