Create a three-party political system in the United States by means of Democrats splitting into two parties – not republicans. This opens the doors for passing more policy and unlocking the current gridlock in Washington. The two political parties in the United States are overwhelmed...

One fact on which all parties and their various factions can agree: the U.S. representative democracy is primarily representing those who are donating massive sums to politicians – not everyday people. Cheers to shared political beliefs. We have a starting point. President Obama’s second term was...

Recently someone landed at BlareShare in search of some entertaining anecdotes or examples of the “Wacky World of Gun Toting Republicans” (very nice search phrase). Of course, we highly encourage people with differing political views to share them here on BlareShare – but mostly they just run extreme, right-wing...

Shortly after VP Joe Biden was asked by President Obama to put together the latest gun safety task force, the level of advertising for the paranoid right-wing has skyrocketed. (In our case… Hey, if they want to spend their money putting ads on blog posts that...

The long, never-ending, always depends on who you ask debate about starting a career in “the music business” as an audio engineer: should I go to a recording school? Personally, I didn’t attend a recording school, but I taught at one for a long time...

Let’s face it: the Republican Party is a fractured mess. After the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, allowed the more extreme and non-compromising part of his party complain and vent their anger like children who found coal in their stockings for Christmas, he finally...

Once again, Washington DC fulfills all our expectations and fails to get anything of any consequence done. As all the New Year’s parties begin, we can turn towards our political “leaders” and offer a collective, “What the ???!!!” to those who have again failed, entirely, to do...

NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre is a frightened man. Not politically, but frightened in his soul. It’s that base, primal fear that motivates everything he does in life. The NRA “press conference” on Friday, December 21st, 2012 brought that fear out of the NRA-media-back-channels and it into the...

Guns are a product just like anything else. That’s why the NRA and gun manufacturers lobby so aggressively, and advertise the way that they do: to sell the product. The second amendment is secondary to profit motives for gun lobbyists.  Who else in the world has products that...

If alcoholism is a disease, so too is being a member of the renowned Republican Base. It starts off being fun; something to do with friends and help you feel more comfortable… but then it starts to rule your life… make you paranoid and throws logic and rational...

A theory first tossed into the political theory gravity well on the Rachel Maddow show (as far as we know): the real reason republicans are pounding away on Susan Rice has nothing to do with Benghazi, but because they want John Kerry to be Secretary of...

After John McCain, Kelly Ayotte, and Lindsey Graham all received a super-special meeting with UN ambassador Susan Rice and the acting Director of the CIA (unprecedented meeting, mind you – they got this meeting for no other reason than they are shouting, ranting, and squawking in front of every...

This is not to say that Mr. Romney hasn’t filled his own gas tank in the past (metaphorically or otherwise), but here in California, those of us who basically live in our automobiles more than our mansions – we find great escape in pumping our...

Am I the only liberal who for the first time (in a long time) finds himself agreeing with people in Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky and Texas? (Among others… last I heard people in all 50 states have started these ridiculous secession petitions.) But as long as we’re being ridiculous…...

Humility is a funny thing; and apparently it’s becoming a trait that is less and less seen in the everyday people we pass on the street. History is also a funny thing; and apparently becoming more and more “un-studied” in how people, countries, and politics...

Is the good senator from “papers please” Arizona still angry about losing the 2008 election? Why is John McCain pounding his chest about Benghazi over, and over – and over – again in his outrageous, irresponsible, politically-motivated, bitter-tasting, revenge-seeking-reeking manner? (... with the more extreme right-side of the republican...

Why is everyone acting like they are surprised that very powerful men who oversee billions of dollars of spending get caught having affairs (email, of the flesh, booty-calls or otherwise). And why so surprised that an FBI “friend” of one woman who “entertains” said powerful...

The Equation: Guns + Paranoia = Bad I am not a gun owner, but my father is, and I had an old .22 when I was a kid. I grew up in gun cultures; some states that are humble strong-holds for the NRA lobby (Cheney...

I am incredibly thankful that when NBC called Ohio for the President the first thing our election night party did was turn the channel to see how Fox News was handling themselves – as we all know now, they did not take it well. (… Dislike preambles?...

What does a billion dollars of hidden special interest spending get you? Nothing. Power to the voter! Long lines, sticking it out until the wee hours of the morning, boots on the ground, knocking on doors – real democracy in action, not money buying an...

Besides being (usually) spineless because they want to appear reasonable and empathetic, one of the Democratic Party’s biggest problems is complacency. STOP IT! Get back to work! Democrats, it’s your job to do two things: educate the population on policies and your party, and get to...

There are a lot of angry and confused republicans in this country. They cannot understand how Mitt Romney lost the election. I, for one, was speechless watching Fox News have Karl Rove – KARL ROVE – on its election coverage flat out denying the Ohio...

General Election day 2012 someone performed this search on Google: “2012 is going to bring planet of the apes if obama wins” … and ended up on BlareShare.com. (To another post relating the general confusion and ape-like behavior of all politicians) I don’t even know...

Whether you choose to believe in “voter fraud”  is not the issue: the issue is we have a lot of people in this country, all of whom have the right to vote. So stop all the balderdash thoughts about voter fraud somehow relating to early...

No. Of course it won’t (sadly). Mitt Romney as president won’t magically fix Washington. It’s too polarized on both sides of the isle. Republicans and Democrats are like irrational stepbrothers fighting for father’s inheritance at this point. If anyone out there is foolish enough to think that the simple...

It’s a valid question: If Obama wins the 2012 election, but there’s still a Republican majority in Congress, then won’t they continue blocking everything the President and democrats try to do? Answer: sort of, because there will be a lot of wounds being licked after this outrageous...
