Open Thread for the Easter Holiday – Plus Opinions

by on April 5, 2012 3:47 pm in MAIN

Proligarchy is a blog for people with Progressive views as I am sure you can tell by what has already been posted and the comments attached. It’s important in these times, that we have places to go that posts what is happening in the U. S. and in the world. We also try, here, to provide articles and links and videos of what is happening, where its happening, why it’s happening, who or what is the cause. There’s also a bit of fun in the comments.

Here’s some Opinion pieces that you might want to check if you have some down time before the weekend Holiday celebration or obligations as the case may be.

Watch comments for updates on news and don’t forget to watch Up with Chris Hayes and the Melissa Harris-Perry shows.

HAPPY EASTER HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL AND IF YOU DON’T CELEBRATE EASTER, ENJOY THE HOLIDAY ANYWAY!

    The Horror, The Horror

    Atrios, aka Duncan Black, is celebrating his 10th blogoversary with a countdown of America’s Worst Pundits. And he emphasizes just how bad a decade it has been,

    a time when this country stopped even bothering to pretend to live up to many of its supposed ideals. We go to war and kill lots of people for no good reason, elites have eliminated any accountability for themselves for criminal wrongdoing, we’ve tortured and assassinated people, and the response to massive economic suffering and related criminal fraud has been to give lots of free money to the people who caused it all.

    Whenever people take me to task for being rude, for not treating politicians and their apologists with respect even when they’re talking obvious nonsense, I wonder whether they’ve been asleep this past decade. We have a political movement that lied us into war, not to mention all the other abuses. If this doesn’t call for being tough, what would?

    The Republican party and all the conservatives are hell bent to destroy our Nation. Everything they are saying and trying to do will do that. Destroy the Nation.

    That’s why I hope this comes at them:

    And I hope it happens soon!

    Chicago Tribune—Critics of Emanuel’s infrastructure trust say it gives too much power to the mayor,

    “The proposed expansion of public-private partnerships to rebuild Chicago would give a board dominated by corporate financiers handpicked by Mayor Rahm Emanuel the power to hammer out multimillion-dollar deals without many of the checks and balances meant to keep City Hall in line. Even after the mayor revised his plan to try to win over aldermen ahead of a key City Council hearing Monday, the ordinance still does not provide for oversight by the inspector general, guarantee compliance with state transparency laws or prevent board members from leaving and immediately joining companies they just helped win lucrative contracts.”

    Romney’s comments are being read as a “secret plan” to reduce the deficit. I think they show there’s no plan at all: http://wapo.st/IY6qZU
