Candi CdeBaca — who won a runoff election for a seat on Denver’s City Council describes herself as “a Democratic socialist.” She said, “Communism is when the government owns everything; socialism is when people have control of the distribution of ownership.

“The sanctification of the rights of individuals and their liberties today by libertarians and Tea Party conservatives is contrary to our evolved human nature as social animals. . . . The thought that it is both rational and natural for each of us to care only for ourselves, our own

For centuries the United States has been the envy of the world. That’s why we have an immigration problem. People from other nations want to be part of this grand experiment. This was mostly true in the 19th and 20th century when we didn’t have a burgeoning welfare system. Dictators

“The Who” sung about it, warned about it, and Egypt got it: Meet the new boss Same as the old boss.

Liberal radio talker Randi Rhodes trumpeted on her show that the GOP and Conservative Talk Radio Want to “Piss Away” Arab Democracy. Here are some of her comments: “You have Republicans who never trusted the people — they don’t like people, they don’t trust people, they trust corporations. You get

An article I read carried this headline: “Big NY voter majority favors ‘millionaire tax.’” Articles like this one are designed to show that people with money should pay more taxes. If given the chance to vote on the issue, the majority of the people in the state of New York

In an interview with Piers Morgan, Justice Antonin Scalia stated, “Regardless of what my views as a Catholic are, the Constitution says nothing about it . . . the Constitution, in fact, says nothing at all about the subject” of abortion. Scalia continued, “Just as the pro-choice people say the
