What you should remember about present and future Obama scandals

Here is the thing that you have to remember about the present attempts to tarnish Obama with the Emmanuel-Blagojevich scandal: Bill Ayers. If the Republicans would use an tangential, inconsequential relationship to make out that Obama is a Marxist America-hating terrorist then they will stop at pretty much nothing.

That really is how Conservatives are…

Look, lefties, it’s not a figment of your imagination. I was a (social) Conservative at one point in my life, maybe to an extent still am, the point is that yes, they are bigots. Bigoted on every level that a mostly white, apparently heterosexual, fundamentalist people can be bigoted on. They hate and they do [...]

What makes politicians likable?

So 31 years later, just before he is scheduled to die of natural causes anyway, “justice” is served. You might as well just wait him out and then [...]

Conservative truth

Hey, Barack Obama Exists After All “If we don’t create a false story, and fast, our half-African son of an 18-year old mother will have no chance at becoming president!”| If you don’t have hard facts, create a conspiracy theory that way you can smear with insinuations instead of truth. The fact is that your [...]

Obama Slave T-shirt

“But It’s Not About Race” In the wake of the flap that followed the New Yorker’s intended satirical cover art last week, a shock anti-Obama t-shirt has made news.
