		<description><![CDATA[The result, long seen by anyone even casually paying attention, of the Republican primaries has finally revealed. Mitt Romney will, much like John McCain was, be painted as the archetype of out-of-touch wealth. Which he is, and he definitely should be! He absolutely is a man who has made millions of dollars by exploiting both [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The so-called &#8220;Super&#8221; Congress tasked with finding a means of cutting the deficit is a pure and simple joke. A joke few, if any, are likely to fall for. It is most simply designed to further the austerity agenda and steal from the poor of this country in order to further fund this stumbling empire&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;21st century&#8221; always sounded like a futuristic utopia to me as a child. Being in my late twenties now, I was certainly still a child when the tired 20th century finally gave up the ghost, but the utopia I had always imagined springing forth didn&#8217;t seem to be anywhere I looked. In fact, this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have discussed already that our nation&#8217;s debt is used as the rulers&#8217; greatest asset. It is the ever-present excuse to why again and again our social safety-net is slowly being destroyed by those rich enough to never need it. The tax-cuts made to benefit the rich and the U.S. government&#8217;s multiple forever-wars ensure that a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is the garnish on every politician&#8217;s platform. The repeated refrain in every speech listing America&#8217;s woes. Not a day goes by where it is not held over our heads, this ominous figure far too large for the human mind to really comprehend. It is the standard excuse for why Americans &#8220;can&#8217;t have nice things&#8221; [...]]]></description>

With an election season dawning on the horizon, the events of last week are a perfect example of the futility of voting for the [...]]]></description>

The rights of unions in this country have been won inch by inch with the blood of thousands of workers, and to see them stripped so easily from us speaks to the [...]]]></description>

Governments that defined themselves by decades of inhuman cruelty to the most vulnerable of their citizens are seeing those very people rise-up and chasing them out of their palaces. The beginnings of these revolutions are being sparked [...]]]></description>

Obama&#8217;s ability to speak as an intelligent person may contrast with his [...]]]></description>

I mean this shit is so predictable that I guess it&#8217;s pretty unsurprising when it actually happens, but a part of me always expects to be wrong; so when I am right I can&#8217;t help but be a little shocked. Now, what [...]]]></description>
