William Rivers Pitt | All I Want for Christmas...
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/13520-all-i-want-for-christmas
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: I don't want all this rage and sadness in my heart. I want to believe we are better than this. I want my daughter to come into a world where sane conversation on things like assault weapons and aid money for storm victims isn't a complete impossibility. Getting that wish is entirely up to me.
4 Reminders of Human Goodness After Sandy Hook
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13525-4-reminders-of-human-goodness-after-sandy-hook
Jeremy Adam Smith, YES! Magazine: Following the heartbreak in Newtown, many Americans find themselves wondering - are people just horrible? Compassion, forgiveness, and resilience are everywhere, even in tragedy.
Chris Hedges | The Final Battle
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13524-chris-hedges-|-the-final-battle
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: The new version of the NDAA, like the old ones, provides our masters with the legal shackles to make our resistance impossible. And that is their intention.
No Santa Claus and Bill Clinton Was Not an Economic Savior
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/13526-no-santa-claus-and-bill-clinton-was-not-an-economic-savior
Dean Baker, Truthout: The truth is often painful but nonetheless it is important that we live in the real world. Just as little kids have to come to grips with the fact that there is no Santa Claus, it is necessary for millions of liberals to realize that President Clinton's policies sent the economy seriously off course.
E.J. Dionne Jr. | Some Christmas Inspirations
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/13523-some-christmas-inspirations
EJ Dionne Jr, Washington Post Writers Group: Those of us who celebrate Christmas tend to think as people of hope, and we hope to speed up peace on earth with this faith.
Where Are We Heading - Bedford Falls or Pottersville?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/13529-where-are-we-heading-bedford-falls-or-pottersville
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: Call me naive or sentimental but I still believe the George Baileys will continue to win this contest. They know we're all in it together, and that if we succumb to the bullying selfishness of the Potters we lose America and relinquish the future.
No Room at the Inn? How Occupy Won Over Religion
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13531-how-occupy-won-over-religion
Nathan Schneider, YES! Magazine: Religion is the means by which many imagine and work for a world more just than this one. Last year, Wall Street's Trinity Church refused to shelter the movement; this year, churches and Occupiers are sharing a very different kind of Advent season.
How Much Did a Billionaire Casino Magnate Really Spend on Campaign 2012?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13528-how-much-did-billionaire-casino-magnate-really-spend-on-campaign-2012
Theodoric Meyer, ProPublica: We don't really know, and it's likely we never will. We dug through Federal Election Commission and Internal Revenue Service records and found that Adelson and his wife, Miriam, spent at least $98 million this election cycle.
A Grief-Stricken Randi Weingarten Engages Hesitant Unions on Gun Control in Wake of Sandy Hook
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13530-a-grief-stricken-randi-weingarten-engages-hesitant-unions-on-gun-control-in-wake-of-sandy-hook
Mike Elk, In These Times: After seeing six of her union's members gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary, Weingarten is ready to launch one of the most controversial political crusades of her career: gun control.
Why Does Neoliberalism Persist Even After the Global Crisis?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13527-why-does-neoliberalism-persist-even-after-the-global-crisis
Vamsi Vakulabharanam, Triple Crisis: As long as the political groups on the ground do not make their voices heard loudly enough against the top 1% or the top 10%, and as long as there are continued benefits for the elites from the perpetuation of neoliberalism, the system will persist.
