Republican Pre-Conditions

February 9, 2010

Remember all the noise from neo-conservatives over the thought of President Obama sitting down with….gasp….Iranian leaders?
Remember all those ignorant Villager gotcha questions Obama fielded during the presidential election campaign over…gasp….sitting down with Iranian leaders?
Would pre-conditions have to be met before an American president could….gasp…talk to Iranian leaders? Shouldn't Iranian leaders first meltdown all their nuclear [...]

Enemies of the State

October 3, 2009

The 2016 Olympics went to Rio, Brazil……conservatives celebrate America's loss.
Consider the glee by America's new enemies…..
Beck: "Oh, it's so sweet" that Chicago's bid failed; "savor this moment."
Breitbart website: "It is kind of like the world community saying to President Obama, 'Not only no, but Hell No.' "
Limbaugh: For those "upset that I sound gleeful [...]

Partly Funny With A Chance Of Crazy

September 25, 2009

The imaginative Steve King (R-IA) says that gay marriage is a "purely socialistic concept."
Have you noticed how conservatives and Republicans see socialistic threats, like, everywhere? Damn odd, if you ask me.
Here's Rep. King in the House explaining how President Barack Obama is the "star of ACORN, the lead, chief organizer."

King is a wild and crazy [...]

Hopelessly Dishonest Media

June 24, 2009

The first four minutes sets the stage…

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

In the Village of the Goddamned, Republicans, no matter how far down they are in the minority, no matter how few Americans identify with their party, no matter how irrelevant or bizarre their clueless rhetoric is, no matter [...]

"Moral Leadership"

June 23, 2009

America has been involved in imperialistic-minded interference in other nation's governments and elections for as long as I can remember. It's what we do. And I suppose that helps in understanding why America's leading neo-conservatives, senators like Lindsey "Huckleberry" Graham (R-SC), John McCain (R-AZ) and Joe Lieberman (ASSH*LE-CT) have been calling for U.S. interference in [...]

Narcissistic Nationalism

June 17, 2009

Referring to American exceptionalism-believing neo-cons, Digby riffs….
These people really believe that the way to keep America on top is to behave like a crazed, hysterical bully lashing out at every slight and insisting that everyone acknowledge our moral superiority even though it is patently untrue. Exceptionalism means never having to say you're sorry.
Although Digby's [...]

Pride In The President, Part 2

June 7, 2009

Today I continue with Part 2 of my appraisal of President Obama's speech from Cairo, Egypt….
To those Muslims in Hamas, Hizbollah, al-Qaeda, or Iran,…Obama spoke honestly and directly about Israel…
Six million Jews were killed – more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today. Denying that fact is baseless, ignorant, and hateful. Threatening Israel with [...]

Frightening Thought: A 3rd Bush Term

August 18, 2008

Setting aside for now the far right Supreme judges a president John McCain would pick…..the Arizona senator's most disturbing quality is his neo-conservatism. The phony ambivalence we've seen and heard when McCain addresses the issue of George W. Bush should be a red flag to voters. Without doubt, the evidence demonstrates that McCain supported virtually [...]

How Did We Get Into Such A Mess?

July 26, 2008

It's good every now and then to review where we are and how we arrived here.
Reviewing always helps in gaining, or regaining, one's perspective.
I've chosen a former Reagan Republican to help with today's review. And not just any old Reagan Republican either…but instead, one who has survived the usually fatal virus of conservative [...]

How's It Looking Out There?

July 16, 2008

Interesting to note that president Bush has flip-flopped on talking to Iran….
In a break with past Bush administration policy, a top U.S. diplomat will for the first time join colleagues from other world powers at a meeting with Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, The Associated Press has learned.
Official contacts between Iran and the United States are [...]
