Standing Against Baiting and Hating in the Hard Year to Come

In a New Year’s Eve column for the American Prospect, Harold Meyerson
seconds the motion made at this website last May that the Republicans
are going to be playing the fear card this year with heavy-handed attention to illegal immigration.

the street is a machine to make a permanent battlefield of the Mexico
border, the better to have a landing zone for the kind of politics that
the Republican machine loves best — chaos for profit. Please
review the five pistons of empire, because they are fixin’ to fire up overtime.

For all these reasons your editor spent some time over the holidays opening up a new web project called American Worker Info. We see what you put on the table Mr. Meyerson; we call it and raise.–gm
