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. If Obama so much as trips [...]

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?

An old balding man running for leadership of a First World country would normally have no chance, unless he is running against a black guy. Another whose ideas require a certain amount of common sense, and which would be drastically different from what is currently espoused has no shot.
Normally you have to look at [...]

The perception of Islam

Unlike what most people call Christianity, some forms of this religion allow for active, unprovoked violence against non-combatants. In places where the conventional interpretation of Christianity is common this can only be seen as savage and threatening.
If you look different, speak a different language and dress differently then people are going to be threatened by [...]

Conservative style spin and excuses

If Rush Limbaugh were found with kiddie porn and/or dismembered tranny hookers in his trunk
Excuses:
Liberals framed him! Obama framed him!
He was collecting evidence to hunt down and capture pedophiles in his free time.
He had a moment of weakness but God has forgiven him so we should too.
If Sean Hannity was videoed in a Klan robe [...]

The unreasonableness of public protests

I am not quite sure what protests are for. I mean, you inconvenience some people, you show the people you are protesting against that there are a relative handful of loud youngsters willing to get some signs together and mobilize to yell at you, but none of that is particularly impressive since the amount of [...]

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 average red-stater [...]

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.
I love how Conservatives get all indignant when accused of being racist, then you see something like this and it puts their politics in perspective. Everything the [...]

Border Fence Creates Mixed Feelings

Border Fence Creates Mixed Feelings
The numbers of illegal immigrants apprehended in the El Paso sector are down, but some people in El Paso are having mixed feelings about a planned new border fence.
The proposed fence would post 700 miles of 12-to-15 foot-tall steel fencing along the southern border.

Seriously, America needs a symbol of global assholery, [...]
