The New Mark Weaver Show

Probably on Live365, as Mark Weaver iRadio (v 2.0)
"Come join me in the Green Party! Tampa Bay has a good chapter. Remember, it was Bob Graham who was architect of the “Out of Iraq, into Afghanistan” strategy when he was chair of the Intelligence Committee. Kendrick Meek was pushing Obama to send more troops to Afghanistan even before Obama did it. Debbie Wasserman Schultz pushes a very hard line on the Cuba embargo and travel ban, even worse than Obama. And she backs Netanyahu down the line whatever evil he commits, including the continuing land thefts from the Palestinians. She’s pushing for the next war, against Iran, when the time comes.
All these people are rightwingers posing as liberals.

The Democratic Party, just more war and injustice and selling out the middle class. Stop promoting, financing and voting for the Democratic Party. Turn your wasted, manipulated, self-damaging energies to genuine individual Left candidates and issues.".......Mark Weaver

Should i change my slogan to "Watching The (Democrat) Right Wing In Tampa Bay?"

Is Federal Spending Really Out Of Control?

I am trying my best not to become a cynical old fart in old age, if you call 51 old age. But the brainwashing of our country in the name of "what's best for the country" is sickening. We need less spending now, like we need a hole in the head. People losing their houses, jobs and eating the cheapest food they can find, are not free. We need smart spending i.e. in education to help the masses, not less taxes for the multi-nationals.

We had a balanced budget in 2001, and then Bush decided he had to spend 1 billion dollars a day in Iraq. Afghanistan is 10 billion per month; Libya is 300 million per month! Why is defense not in the austerity discussions? Wages have decreased over the last decade thanks to our free trade polices with un-developed nations and CEOs who farm our jobs out to these countries are making millions, as is Wall Street. Spreading the wealth in the name of the public good is American, so we can afford public programs that has made our country great i.e. LBJs Great Society programs.

Dog eat dog with a growing wage gap and poor in the streets is not American. It's time for the people to start demonstrating our ........ cynicism?, concerns for the country. For the Tampa area the WMNF web site would be a place to ogranize. They've already lost their government support.
