Welcome to the Leftist

Please join our discussion

Get your mind blown by the left-wing opinionated analysis I rock. Pragmatism has prevailed in Democratic circles, but I'm not prepared to accept that. Let's push things forward.

The Left is growing

But don't let the moderates stamp out our ideals. We cannot waste a moment in pushing this country left. Our generation is optimistic and idealistic; we can't lose another generation to cynicism.

I may be a little bit upset with the failure of many of the initial policy agendas, and their lack of liberal-ness, but right now, I’m feeling good on Obama, and the future. Why, well, that turns out to be a research question in and of itself. Most of my positive thinking right now is [...]

I’m procrastinating a bit here, but I need to get my creative juices flowing again, and hey, this website is really nice, so I guess I should try to keep it up. But the main issue here, is that I’m disappointed in Barack Obama. Seriously disappointed. Ridiculously disappointed. I’m glad I have had a fair amount [...]

It might seem like a fantasy, and I’m wondering if it is. But if the Democractic Federal Government fails to pass and fully-implement & fund comprehensive health care reform, maybe the only hope leftists like me have a chance to show the country that single-payer works in the United States is to make it work [...]

This is the first in what will probably be a several part series of rants and internal monologues about how I feel about Goldman, Sachs. Basically, the company can go bite the curb, collectively. If you’ve been paying attention to the recent noise over Goldman, you are definitely familiar with Matt Taibbi and his article, [...]

“If during the week you need an audio fix, you can download the podcast on iTunes by searching for Matt Darey Nocturnal in the iShop.” I’ve been hearing that line a lot recently, in my car, via either internet radio, mp3, podcast, or burned CD-RW. Listening to the latest in dance music is hard work. There [...]

There is a lot in the news. One, we’ve got Iran in a mess. And two, we’ve got some real idiots compromising away real health reform. Three, we’ve got some real idiots compromising away on regulations that could save us from another recession like this one in the near future. Enjoy!
