It’s becoming increasingly evident that some liberals are cow-towing to extreme un-Americanism, and cratering any possible chance they have to stay on top of this issue. The most sickening part of all of this is that ignorant, lazy conservatives– who’ve ratchet up the Nazi, enemy of the state rhetoric– have lost any credibility discussing matters [...]

Who’s Really Free Of Bias?
August 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Democracy, News, Politics, america
From Eric Martin via Andrew Sullivan: This reminds me of conservative complaints aired during Sonya Sotomayor’s confirmation hearings: that her Puerto Rican roots would unduly influence her decision making process regarding civil rights cases. Again, though, the assumption is that being a Caucasian means being free from any and all biases. Which is on its face preposterous as all [...]
Pastor Who Plans To Burn Qurans Speaks To CNN
July 31st, 2010 · No Comments · Faith, News, Political Fringe, america
Terry Jones should probably read up on his history. Then he’d realize that millions and millions of people have died by the hand of ideological Christian fanatics–like he and his flock. Wouldn’t that mean he needs to burn bibles too? h/t: think progress

It Looks Like Those Government Auto Bailouts Are Starting To Work
July 30th, 2010 · No Comments · News, Politics, america
The auto industry was on the verge of collapse. Hundreds of thousands of jobs were on the verge of disappearing. The government auto bailouts–much like those given to the banking industry–were used as political fodder by conservatives, and castigated as more big government, and the nationalization of private industry. Sometimes tough choices need to be [...]
Why Is Fox News’ Audience One Percent Black? One Enlightened Viewer Gives His Take
July 29th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Democracy, News, Politics, Racism, Republicans, Uncategorized
Rather than postulate that it has anything to do with Fox’s overt political agenda, or black folks’ support for President Obama –I would venture to guess it’s because Fox’s target audience may be slightly hostile to black thought, and black folks in general. That may be a blanket statement, but the pattern of race-baiting stories [...]
White Pride Group Has A Message For The Tea Party: Be Proud Of Your Racism
July 28th, 2010 · 2 Comments · News, Political Fringe, Politics, Racism, Republicans, america
“Instead of replying with a loud BWAHAHAHA! or a ‘Yeah? What’s your point?’ or ‘So what?’ or ‘Of course we’re racists – we’re white people. That’s what “racist” means’ or ‘Can any of you race hustlers even spell “racist”?’ The Tea Party predictably went into their usual bend over and grab their ankles mode. They protested [...]

Shirley Sherrod’s Story Is Disputed By Conservative Writer
July 27th, 2010 · 2 Comments · News, Political Fringe, Politics
Before I delve into the minute details of Jeffrey Lord’s intellectual dishonesty, and general all around ignorance, I must first say that the only way something like this is even in print, is because the current climate allows for this type of venomous discourse. It’s bred from callous indignation, and utter contempt for the suffering [...]

Mitch McConnell And Republican Voodoo Economics
July 24th, 2010 · No Comments · News, Politics, Republicans
“There’s no evidence whatsoever that the Bush tax cuts actually diminished revenue…”– Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Uh… what? Okay. Let’s take the leader at his word, and assume that the George W. Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 had no impact on declining federal revenues. Let’s all pretend we’re economists who champion [...]

American Fear Weakens American Principles
July 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment · News, Politics, Republicans
Sarah Plain purports to stand for American idealism and power. She lauds American achievement and resilience in every speech she gives. So it’s curious why she– and many other conservatives– oppose the building of a Mosque near ground zero in lower Manhattan: ”Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn’t it stab you in the heart, as it [...]
