Welcome to bodypolitic

We're living in an age in which a fairly elected President, with a clear majority of votes, faces irrational allegations that he is a treasonous, communist, nazi, illegitimate, non-American. traitor. And in which the right wing (often corporate sponsored) propaganda machine wants to manipulate the uneasiness that older more conservative Americans have with America having a black somewhat liberal President, into a rage funneled by the conservative establishment and fueled by lies about a supposed threat of communism, euthenasia, mandated abortions, etc. in order to block any thing that the majority of Democrats in congress want to pass as a law. This my friends is robbery, robbery of the body politic of Americans with progressive values who voted in congress people and a President that represented their progressive values and expected to see an increase of progressive legislation. This body politic is being robbed of their political power in this country and the worse part is that many members of the progressive body politic are in a slumber. Many are so content with the way the 2006 and 2008 elections went in their favor and so exhausted from activism during the Bush era that they are under the illusion that everything is going the way they voted for and they don't realize that their political power is being undermined by conservative and corporate interest groups. Often times it is the very politicians they put into power that make concessions to the other side, concessions that the body politic which voted the politicians into office would be completely disgusted with. this blog is a wake up call to the progressive body politic America. And a center for progressive policy and culture.
