Patriotism is defined as a devoted love of one's country, many people feel "patriotic" when they wave American flags on the Fourth of July but, it should be understood that patriotism is something that is not limited to America's border. Most countries have a strong sense of patriotism and each of these countries see themselves in some way superior to the rest of the world. So one might ask,

Why do the American working class not protest? As I have mentioned before, no society can function without laborers. We can not all be business owners, for who would mind the store? The Europeans have understood the power of the working class united to enforce change, and they enjoy a great deal of work/life satisfaction because of it. They protest, and they most often win. Why do they win? They

I received this email from Care2 yesterday afternoon...Hi Robbie, As Californians, each of us pays taxes to fund services like healthcare and education.

The Republican-led Congress changed their priorities this afternoon. With a $491 billion defense bill on the table, Bill Frist used a technical maneuver to halt debate on it and moved to the gun legislation. As a result, Senate lawmakers made sure gun dealers and manufacturers are shielded from lawsuits before our troops have the funding necessary for the Iraq Invasion.With two days left in this

What the hell is going on over there?I'm conducting an experiment over at Radio News America. I requested for them to keep open the blog on my Andy Stephenson tribute Op/Ed from nine days ago, and as of this moment there are 295 comments.295 comments? I haven't made that many in my blog since I started this whole deal!It doesn't look like it's dying down anytime soon, so if you want to cringe,

Hello readers and listeners,Because of time constraints, I was unable to record a podcast this evening for your enjoyment. Business has picked up at work, and as a result I had less time to make posts to the blog, do research for my upcoming Op/Eds, etc.Although they average about 12 minutes in length, I didn't have time to prepare for one this evening. Putting one together at the last moment

I'm wondering if this is the question they were asking each other when this photo was taken in June 2003 at a party marking the 40th anniversary of Robert Novak's column at the Army Navy Club in Washington D.C.Many people attending the event, including current punching bag Karl Rove (left) were wearing red buttons stating "I'm a source, not a target".

Two days from now, there will be a memorial service for Andy Stephenson in Seattle. I encourage you to make a donation to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PANCAN) in Andy’s name. It doesn’t matter if it’s a few dollars or a hundred, just do it.One day, someone you love may be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and maybe by then there will be a cure, all because you made a donation to honor

Brand new for the Fall 2005 Semester, RobbDogg's Rips will be offering its own "Therapy and Understanding" online class for recovering wingnuts and the liberal/progressive curious. Your local community college isn't offering this course, nor is The Learning Annex, so take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn about liberals and progressives.Starting today (summer vacation's over!), I will

This is my latest commentary that will appear on the Radio News America web site later today. Instead of doing a hatchet job on those who conspired to hurt Andy Stephenson, I elected to write something a little more tasteful in his honor. The hatchet job I really wanted to do will be posted on my blog in the very near future, and I won't pull any punches or edit out the vulgar language. I promise

These targets were posted late Friday morning on downingstreetmemo.com, and I was unable to post them on my blog this evening. I had some personal business to take care of, and after hearing about the passing of political activist Andy Stephenson I wasn't online until a few hours ago. I'm sure you noticed I was still a little upset when I elected this week's Wingnuts Of The Week in my last

July 7th, 2005 will go down in history as a day of infamy. On a day when terrorists exploded three bombs in the London Tube underground rail service, and a fourth inside of a double-decker bus, a splinter cell belonging to a heinous organization attempted to exploit the event for political and financial gain at the Brit's expense.It doesn't matter if they were directed by their leader Roger Ailes

...whether you lost a loved one or not in today's cowardly terrorist attack, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Do not let whoever is behind these attacks get the satisfaction of knowing they achieved their goal - to make you live your lives in fear.Carry on, be vigilant, and be safe. God bless.

Here's my latest commentary that will appear on Radio News America later today. I thought I could become a miracle worker by helping a hate group clean up it's act. I'm throwing down a challenge for the Ventura, California-based Save Our State organization to practice what they preach on their web site.I also expose why they could be classified as a hate group rather than a peaceful, anti-illegal

I'm a very bad boy. I should be spanked, or at least be forced to kiss a wingnut babe like Katherine Harris or Monica Crowley as punishment.I overslept Tuesday morning, so I didn't update the blog before work. When I got home, I immediately went to work on doing research for Thursday's commentary and I forgot to post Tuesday's DSM Senate targets!I'm not dropping the ball this time. Here's

You gotta read this one...KARL ROVE: WORSE THAN OSAMA BIN LADENBy Ted RallMon Jul 4, 7:00 PM ETNEW YORK--In war collaborators are more dangerous than enemy forces, for they betray with intimate knowledge in painful detail and demoralize by their cynical example.

Here's the latest episode in the smash-hit Southern California soap opera, "As The Duke-Stir Floats."Like I said Saturday morning in my latest Wake Up San Diego! commentary, Randy "Duke" Cunningham has a lot to worry about in the days ahead. As expected, he cancelled his scheduled appearance at the Annual Fourth of July Community Pancake Breakfast in Encinitas so the event wouldn't turn into a
