Re: Union To Picket Obama Fundraiser Over Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Deal

Solidarity brothers and sisters! And I am not talking about your vote. Please remember that labor unions are not primarily a social
movement, but a part of it. Union leaders are elected by the membership, which are often more diverse politically than many people believe. Also remember that the labor movement always has, and always will, face a stacked deck. Only by sticking together do working people stand a decent chance. This means that we may sometimes have to accept something that is less than 100% pure. Find common ground for the common good.

Union leaders were elected by, and represent the union membership, which are often more diverse in their goals and values than many people believe.

Re: Progressive Election Strategy and the Norman Solomon Campaign

Hello Jerry,
Cohen is not talking about reforming the Democratic Party, he's making the case for a liberal take over. Are you saying that you would not get behind that?

Occupy has jump started the liberal movement with a very generalized strategy that has a fairly broad appeal. It seems to me that a liberal coalition could begin to make headway if we don't expend our energy fighting each other.

I agree with your drawing out of the loyalists and the purists, and will add Mr Solomon to my list of candidates to support. Good article. Thank you.

In regards to the Le Monde article by Robert Kagan. Mr. Kagan is identified as a "politologue, chercheur au Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Mr. Kagan is also a member of the American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus. Isn't it good tho know that Mr. Kagan is so passionate about international peace?

Hello Tim, great blog. My thanks to BZM at Russophile for the link.
Like many aspects of conservative policy, the intonement of religion is a cover for the advancement of corporate interests. When Yeltsin was playing ball, everything was fine as far as the Economist and the Wall Street Journal were concerned. Now that Russia has resisted the corporate takeover, right wing organizations such as Freedom House and the Center for Security policy are working overtime to vilify Russia. Most Americans do not hear the other side of the story so Mr. Kasparov can appear on Bill Maher with his outrageous anti-Putin act. Maher and his audience swallowed it whole and they are supposedly thoughtful liberals.
