Allen West proves his disdain for women. Again. He is becoming quite the caricature. Those with no talent, foresight, and ability make it more apparent by their constant need for the spotlight. Anyone can push wedge issues. That’s why West does it. He has no ability to lead on any real, substantive ground. I hope [...]

Making Planned Parenthood The Enemy
April 12th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
So… Planned Parenthood is the reason we’re in the fiscal ditch? …about 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s activities. That’s less than cancer screening and prevention (16 percent), STD testing for both men and women (35 percent), and contraception (also 35 percent). About 80 percent of Planned Parenthood’s users are over age 20, and 75 percent [...]

New Bill Escalates The War On Women’s Rights To Dangerous Heights
February 9th, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Democracy, News, Political Fringe, Politics
In keeping with the tradition of hypocrisy and doublespeak, pro-life conservatives in congress have upped the ante in their quest to destroy the rights of women–and to deny them the very breath they breath. A conservative lawmaker has introduced a bill that would essentially allow a doctor to determine the fate of women–by refusing care [...]

Words And Responsibility
January 10th, 2011 · 2 Comments · america, Democracy, Political Fringe, Politics
“I think many people, millions of people, in this country are upset with the tenor and the attitude of our people. I think America has become very angry and people are upset about that. They don’t feel that our government is working together to solve problems, and the reason they feel that way is because [...]

Steve King Is Open With His Racist Views
December 1st, 2010 · No Comments · Politics, Racism, Republicans
I’ll be following up the main point of this post in a lengthy post tomorrow. This clip, courtesy of Young Turks simply illustrates the meme about incivility, divisiveness, ignorance, and intolerance. Congressman Steve King openly flouts the law in some lame attempt to correlate “injustice” with “reverse racism.” I suppose a very,very, suburban senator would [...]

Will There Be Compromise In This Congress?
November 18th, 2010 · No Comments · Elections, News, Politics, Republicans
Is this the beginning of a good start? The cynic in me says no, but it’s good to know that some in the congressional freshmen class have taken the pulse on American thought. It’s not about witch hunts, payback, and impeachment. I’m not interested in seeing two years of gridlock. Watch congressman-elect Richard Hanna speak [...]

The Party Of BP Defeats Unemployment Extension
June 24th, 2010 · No Comments · america, Democracy, Politics
Republicans have succeeded in blocking cloture on the jobs bill. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose their unemployment benefits. In a 57-41 vote which saw all Republicans hold the party line, they’ve proven that Americans don’t matter less than electoral politics. In the worst economy since the 1930′s–an economy in which [...]
