Why can’t they just call themselves Bigots?

The appalling thing about Conservative Republicans in the “old time values” vein is that they can make up all kinds of excuses for the Southern Strategy or DOMA but it still boils down to good old fashion bigotry.  Why not just own up to it?
Here’s one from Matt Frassica at the New York Observer on [...]

The three pillars of alpha male social dominance

The battle rages on between feminists over whether a “women-only” or “liberal women-only” strategy is the best path to upending the current patriarchal system.  This system is one that deprives the female gender of appropriate representation in the power structures of our nation.  I believe this is *the* question of our generation for women who [...]

Now this is a Woman I would NEVER vote for ….

Coming of age in the 70s with Shirley Chisholm (my all time shero) Bela Abzug, and a lot of other women politicians to serve as role models, my first instinct as a new voter was to check off every female name on the ballot. That was until I heard of and listened [...]

Do NOT Buy A Used Health Care Program from This Man!

I’m going to bring out some information I put out on Bobby Jindal in December of last year so you’ll know exactly how little to pay attention to this man.  Jindal is obviously positioning himself for a run at national office which doesn’t surprise me at all, because the guy’s been a bigger job [...]

Rightwing Canards 101

In 2008, I decided to go from blog lurker, to thread poster, to front-pager.  It has been one strange trip that has been both oddly satisfying and exasperating. I think I popped out of the womb with an opinion and a need to express it.  If my first grade teacher Miss Pearl Jensen of Herbert [...]

EXTRA EXTRA: Gay Mexicans responsible for Swine Flu!

Just when you think it’s safe to take a look at what’s swimming in the human gene pool, some of the world’s religious prove exactly how little they’ve advanced since the iron age.  You know, those tribes that ask those big questions like:  “Who can we blame next and does that mean we can kill [...]

Waiting On the World to Change

I don’t just have a special interest in the next few years in Politics because of my status as a Budding Mystic. I actually happen to have a future to look forward to, dreams to strive for, ect. Let’s just thanks all the Gods I have decided to go into Healthcare for now. It’s a [...]

The President’s Preacher Help Line

Recently, The New York Times and the Telegraph uk have published articles about five religious leaders who are advising President Barack Obama. Supposedly Obama has sought these five men’s counsel (yes, they are all men natch) because he has been without a church and pastor of his own since he threw his former pastor, [...]

The Economist Pans POTUS

The Economist endorsed Obama for POTUS in last year’s presidential campaign.  I’m going to say that up front because  reading my print edition (slightly soggy from today’s rain) would have lead me to another conclusion. Each article in this week’s (March 14, 2009)  United States section took a jab at something POTUS either said or did.  Either the [...]
