Mary Harris "Mother" Jones was a labor and community organizer and a rabid communist during the 1920s and 1930s. This is the name the publication goes by. If they called themselves "Stalin Publications" would you think they were a pro-capitalist, conservative publication for some reason?

I will read just about anything. It is important to get both sides of an issue. The only thing that I will not read is the Blaze. I will however listen to Beck from time to time.

Yes, on both sides its those extreme pundits that people need to ignore...they just fan the flames and generate more hate and discontent, so ideas from the "other side" are immediately trashed as unworthy of consideration.

That is true. Two sides of the same coin, Hannity and Maddow.

Don't you all hope it doesn't take WW3 to stop this economic mess. Wouldn,t it be nice if we could start a massive spending program which didn't involve the war industries. Then we could raise taxes to pay off the debt. It only took 30 years or so to pay off the WW2 debt. Now without something to motivate we can do nothing but argue.
