Opinion: A Modest Proposal for Anti-Government Crowd
By not in system - AOL News(April 19) -- Anger with government is the theme on the right these days, with anguished cries by tea partiers, militia members and other government haters of "We're taking our country back." This is quite amusing, as it would be curious to find out: From whom do they think they are recapturing "their" country? And what are they going to do with it when they get it? (Well, we know the answer to that: The last time they had it, they ruined it.) It would seem the only group who has the right to say they're taking the country back would be Native Americans. After all, it was Whitey who stole it ...

Health Care Debate Enters Final Stage
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (March 15) -- Declaring that "every proposal has been put on the table, every argument has been made," President Barack Obama made a last-ditch appeal Monday for his health care reform plan as Democratic leaders huddled behind closed doors here to ferret out enough ayes for a vote later this week. In a rally at a senior center in Strongsville, Ohio, Obama addressed those over 65 directly in words meant not only to reassure seniors that health care reform won't come at their expense but also to counter Republican claims that Democrats mean to gut Medicare to subsidize health ...

By David Sessions - Politics DailyMarvel Comics' "Captain America" -- about a superpatriot who fought Nazis in World War II and chased flag burners during the Vietnam War -- is one of the longest-running, best-loved comics in American history. But, Marvel recently apologized for having a story align too closely to the politics of the moment, Yahoo News reports. While infiltrating a right-wing, anti-government militia group known as the "Watchdogs," Captain America encounters mobs of what appear to be Tea Party protesters. In one scene, Captain America and his African-American sidekick, The Falcon, observe an anti-tax protest ...
Rasmussen Poll: Tea Party Beats GOP on Generic Three-Way Ballot
