For forty years, liberals have accepted defeat and called it “incremental progress.” Bernie Sanders offers a different way forward. by Matt Karp The primary campaign between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders has produced the most direct ideological battle the Democratic Party has seen in a generation.

Posted on April 19, 2016 by Admin

by MARGARET KIMBERLEY APRIL 15, 2016 It took two warmongering politicians to unleash the “shit storm” that the U.S. created in Libya: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Yet, Clinton, the number two player in the aggression, takes all the weight, while Obama acts as if he was nowhere near the scene of the war crime.
