Our End of the 'Net
News, Talk, Politics, and Literature Liberaltopia was started by a guy named Grouchy in 2002. Our name was changed to LT Saloon.
He had been involved on sites like MyDD and other forum-style sites doing combat chatting about political stories of the day. He found a website called Political Pulpit run by DJ Allyn and Marty Lawson and he started participating in the discussions there. When Political Pulpit became The Political Puzzle, he became a regular writer and contributor. Grouchy liked writing on a regular basis and dec

Sign in front of castle: "Dear Ron, We've moved to a more pro-business state. Not sorry we missed you." Employees waving and singing revised version of Simon and Garfunkel's song: Frank Lloyd Wright. Dear Disney Corporation, I'm sure you're not fond of your governor right now, and I know moving would be an incredible expense.

Now, I have finally made it to the final installment on Republican messaging. Fortunately, some Democratic messaging, such as the "Don't Say Gay" bill in Florida, and "Forced Birth" have begun to gain traction. Nonetheless, Republicans continue to pervade the airwaves with simple yet deceptive messaging. In their attacks on liberal American culture, they have developed messaging to convey a send of being the party of "family values," "hard work," "pulling oneself up by the bootstraps," et cetera., despite evidence to the contrary....

Written by Richard Romine . From "Law and Order" to Segregation, from slavery, to the authoritarian capitalism we see today, it's all the same. About control and protecting advantage. In America, systems have grown to compete and sometimes control government. The original American sin was slavery. It all began as a way to improve efficiency in growing crops. The settlers, by themselves, could only do so much....

As a kid, like most of us, I watched cartoons on Saturday morning. I remember the old Loony Tunes cartoons the most. There was more than one, which would show a conflict within the character. Should I do the right thing, the angel speaks saying yes or should I do the wrong thing and the devil says yes.

Courtesy NationalWorld Let's start here: I absolutely love that we are learning more about black history, however something I loathed from the start about "woke" has been USAGE. "Get woke" is a grammatical abomination. "Woke" is past tense. You can't "get woke." You woke up, or you are awake. Blame the former English major in me. History was my second love in school, when taught right....

The frustrated Russian leader has punished officials for misjudging the invasion of Ukraine. But ordinary citizens remain in the dark. I recently spoke by phone with Andrei Soldatov, an investigative journalist and an expert on the Russian state's intelligence apparatus. Currently in London, Soldatov---along with Irina Borogan---has written "The Compatriots: The Brutal and Chaotic History of Russia's Exiles, Émigrés, and Agents Abroad"; the pair also founded and edits the Web site Agentura.ru, which reports on Russia's security services.

Vladimir Putin did not arrive from outer space on an abalone shell. Putin went from the virtually unknown Deputy Mayor of Saint Petersburg to Russia's President and potentate by winning a weird competition organized by Russian billionaire Boris Berezovsky who sought a "Russian Pinochet" to succeed Boris Yeltsin as President. The competition, dubbed "Operation Successor," went so far as to send Russia's "Larry King," Mikhail Leontyev, to interview General Pinochet for Russian TV while Pinochet was under indictment in Chile on murder charges....
