President Obama’s Weekly Address for January 28, 2012
I am enthusiastic about the President’s Address this week. It seems as though he is attempting to advocate putting ethics and morality back into our Congress and our legislation. I have seen a few other descriptions of an an advocacy by the President along the lines of an ongoing return to the values that made this country great. And having some kind of idea (and abundant evidence) of what he is up against, this is very refreshing and encouraging to me, and should be to everyone who watches this video. ~ Paul Evans.
Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.
The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.
Keith Olbermann Special Comment On Health Care Reform & The Public Option
With an Essay on Congress, Corruption and the Truth
Evans Liberal Politics commentary by Paul Evans: We posted a link to this video below, and the new Yahoo media player we have on site now allows video playback here on site, just from YouTube links that we post. Nevertheless, we found this video and its message so powerful and so compelling that we want to call your attention to it specially. Watch as Keith Olbermann digs into the United States of Korporate America and corrupt politicians, in this highly charged video posted on January 22 but probably somewhat older. Think what a voice we lost when MSNBC failed to renew his contract! I hope to God that some major media outlet picks up Keith, and soon.
At the end of the video, Keith issues a warning to the conservative (Blue Dog) Democrats who ended up making the passage of a health care reform bill with a public option impossible. Keith warned these “dog” Democrats that the wrath of the public would end up throwing them out of office. In the event, it turned out to be even more dangerous than that, as liberals got pinned with the blame by the corporate-informed public, who blamed the wrong people because they were inundated with the wrong message – because of a corrupt Congress and a corporate owned media.
Ordinary Americans are mostly politically uneducated and can’t see what is going on in Congress beyond what their (mostly conservative) preachers and their buddies and bosses are telling them. Those few who get a look at my site must think I am some kind of wild-eyed, dangerous liberal, and they won’t stay long enough to find out the truth. The fact that the site is simply titled “Evans Liberal Politics” is all they need to see to condemn me and discredit what I have to say.
Still, I must say, I am a patriotic American and a God-fearing servant of truth, so far as I can discern it. I am even against most first term abortions, and some of my friends dislike that about me intensely. Wake up America! This isn’t about labels, and it isn’t about ideologies. It’s about corrupt politicians and a media and Congress that are servants of the big corporations. This isn’t about democracy — power and influence are about money and corruption. I am not about liberalism, I am about the truth and what is best for all Americans, so far as I am possibly able to tell. Evans Liberal Politics is a servant of the people – all the people. And I do apologize for saying so, that’s just what you’ll hear from your elected representatives, isn’t it? Please, open up your heart and get beyond your ideology and Party affiliation and try your hardest to find out the truth. That’s everything that I am about.

Congressmen, you can serve corporate America, or you can serve your constituents. Eventually, not even the corporate media will serve to delude Americans forever. Now the Republican Party prostitutes are having their day. The more success Republicans have, the worse it will get for ordinary Americans. You can’t delude the public forever. The wrath of God and the anger of America will turn on the corrupt politicians, and something closer to justice will dawn, a brighter day for America and Americans. Mark my words. I hope you enjoy your power, influence and wealth now, while you can, because certainly God will NOT have mercy on your soul. Everyone needs to watch this video:
