Sometimes There Is No Middle Of The Road Position
As you can see from this picture I took a few days ago, sometimes there is no room in the middle of the road.
There is no room in the middle of the road when we have a congress that is denying the extension of unemployment benefits during this tough recession, while at the same time debating to keep tax cuts in place for the wealthiest 2% of Americans.
This kind of thing really makes you wonder about what kind of country we are at the moment.
It is up to you and I to fight back. How long can we allow Tea Party groups to have the upper-hand as the rich get richer and the rest of us are pushed aside?
Are we really going to extend the Bush tax cuts for the most wealthy and then have cuts for programs for the poor and working class in the next Congress?
What kind of country is this? When will we fight back?

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

Due to the fact, that a Capitalist mentality rules this country…there will never be significant change for the benefit of the working & middle class people of the usa. It might be informative to review Sociological Theory, esp; Karl Marx and his writing and how it compares to the present situation, times of today!!!
It is hard to see in the current moment how working people will get a fair shake.
currently; it looks bleak as to working people getting any fairness from Bourgeousie Controlers who run government, and business and any egalitarian regard for humanity in this country. Everything seems to be for profit,bottomline increase for the shareholders,etc. and cutting cost and letting people fend for themselves thru Social Darwinism…and survival of the fittest! Doesn’t seem to be the Christian ethics of Jesus….that the Republicans,Tea-party folks claim to embrace,expound in their politics…and view of life in general*
