One of the favorite lines of the Teabag Republican Party is their claim that President Obama is either un-American or that he doesn't love America. And this isn't just an empty talking point -- in large areas of the country, particularly down south, hardcore conservatives honestly believe that President Obama doesn't love this country because he isn't from the South. So as a country, would we be better off if the south finally seceded once and for all? Mike Papantonio seeks to answer that question with Chuck Thompson, author of the new book "Better Off Without 'Em."

Papantonio: One Trick Republican Ponies Gin Up The Hate
When they get backed into a corner like they are now on policy, the Republican Party always turns to what they know best -- Hate. In recent weeks, leaders within the Republican Party like Karl Rove, the Koch Brothers, and the entire on-air staff of Fox News have been ginning up hatred against Obama, against Democrats, against people on welfare, women, college students, immigrants -- hate is everywhere in their minds. Mike Papantonio talks about the Republican hate machine with Alternet's Washington correspondent, Adele Stan.

Papantonio: Bankers Pose Massive Threat to American Democracy
When Jefferson told us that the banking institutions would be "more dangerous than standing armies," he had no way of foreseeing the TARP treachery that bankers have pulled off with $800 billion of taxpayers' money. But in 2008, Obama saw the beginning of that treachery when he watched America's most powerful bankers grovel like pathetic paupers begging for handouts. They had been piggish, incompetent, sociopathic failures, and they needed welfare tax money.

Papantonio: FDA Hacks Fail Miserably On Medical Device Approval
When it comes to the approval of medical devices the FDA does very little testing. In fact if a manufacturer can show that their product is SIMILAR to another one on the market, they don't even require them to do testing. As a result the market is now cluttered with dangerous medical devices that are destroying American lives. Mike Papantonio talks about one of the many devices that are harming Americans with attorney Ben Gordon.

Papantonio: Romney Mentally Falling Apart
Romney has been campaigning for president for 7 years now. He has had to take his already freakishly fraudulent, empty persona and even make it an even more freakishly empty façade in his effort to be a yes man to everyone for 7 years. I have a hard time believing that there are not some pretty severe mental health issues that result by living that kind of life for at least 7 straight years.

Papantonio: Republicans Crippled By Fear
When you drill down to the center of what most motivates a traditional conservative, you will find that they are terrified by the idea of changing the way they view the world. It is a mentality that prevented 13th century Europeans from sailing ships too far in any one direction. They were fearful of sailing off the edge of a flat earth. The idea of a flat earth was the only way they could see it. Once they overcame their fear and made it to North America, the conservative American Tories were too terrified to declare independence from Great Britain because that change was too dramatic. A king was all they knew -- All they could accept. Lord knows how frightening ideas like evolution, the United Nations, Lady Gaga, and Obama has to be for the die-hard conservative. Understand it was that same kind of inflexible fanatic bunch of social, political conservatives who wanted to murder Galileo and Copernicus because they had new ideas about how the world worked. Change has always caused suffering for neocons.

Papantonio: US Chamber Comes To Aid Of Fracking Industry
Hydraulic fracturing, which is commonly called fracking, is becoming one of the fastest growing sectors of the dirty energy industry. And one of the largest problems with fracking is that the companies doing the drilling are operating with almost no oversight and no regulations. But as members of Congress attempt to correct that, energy companies are rushing to make sure that they continue to escape the grasp of regulators by funneling money into campaign coffers and by enlisting the help of a very powerful ally -- The US Chamber of Commerce. Mike Papantonio talks about all of this with Tyson Slocum, the director of Public Citizen's energy program.

Papantonio: Mesh Implants Disfiguring Consumers
There's plenty of literature available that shows the dangers of drugs like Vioxx, Fosamax, and Yaz, but there aren't a lot of people out there talking about medical devices.

Papantonio: Traditional Media Creates Phony Election Horserace To Make Money
Media all over the world readily admits the reality that our own national media will try to alter in these next few weeks. It is that Mitt is an arrogant buffoon with a deeply flawed character and that is why he is losing this race. But advertisers and media need a race -- a close race equals money. More money equals bigger bonuses for the punk MBA number crunchers on the 50th floor who live or die according to what Nielsen tells them.

Papantonio: Bush Legacy Lives On With Dysfunctional Regulatory Agencies
One of the first things that George W. Bush did when he took office was to pack every possible federal agency with industry hacks. The result is that we were left with an FDA staffed with former employees of drug manufacturers like Pfizer, Merck, and Bayer. Those industry insiders were more concerned with helping their former employers by approving deadly drugs than they were with protecting the public's safety. Mike Papantonio discusses the latest in a long line of dangerous drugs that have been approved by our still-industry-friendly FDA with attorneys Ned McWilliams and Roger Denton.

Papantonio: Romney Pities Himself For Being White
Nobody plays the pity card better than Mitt Romney. He recently told a crowd of supporters that his life would have been a lot easier if he were Latino because then he could get all sorts of government handouts. I guess for Mitt, being worth a quarter of a billion dollars, being white, being born into a life of privilege just isn't enough. Mike Papantonio talks about Mitt's sympathy card and why it shows his complete disdain for all non-white Americans with Adele Stan, Washington correspondent for Alternet.

Papantonio: Republicans Double Down On Failed Economic Policies
When the Republicans burned down the economy under the rule of George W. Bush most of us thought that they would take their failed economic plans back to the drawing board -- after all, this was hardly the first time that the supply-side crowd had devastated our economy. But instead of re-thinking their plan that most Americans knew was a disaster, they decided to double down on those talking points and actually managed to use those same ideas to win in 2010. Mike Papantonio talks about how the Republicans burned down our economy and whether they'll re-hash the same plans with Mitt Romney, with Thomas Frank, author of "Pity The Billionaire."
