Does McCain Believe In America?

May 5, 2010

U.S. citizens, when arrested or detained, have the right to remain silent. They have the right to an attorney. Law enforcement cannot, legally, force an American citizen to tell them anything. That's the law…..has been for quite awhile. Why, then, do Great Warriors, like Senator John McCain…..call that American right, that American law…"a serious mistake?" [...]

Nation In Trouble?

April 24, 2010

The signs have been there for some time now. There was the Kangaroo Kourt that Republicans called the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton. It seemed surrealistic at the time. That's because it was. There was the Supreme Court selection of the president in the 2000 election cycle. There have been 3 huge financial disasters in [...]

Stalemate Or Checkmate?

February 26, 2010

What was interesting coming from Republicans at the Health Care Summit yesterday was their dedication to their talking points. Republicans can't govern, but by god, they can stick to those talking points. Each Republican said exacly the same thing to Obama: "We want you Democrats to scrap your existing health reform legislation and start over." [...]

No One Could Have Predicted

January 12, 2010

Yesterday, we found out that Sarah Palin is going to go to work for FOX. Man…didn't see that one coming. From July 3rd, last year…The Reverend on Sarah Palin's surprise resignation of her governorship….

Looking Back: A Review

November 13, 2009

First it was Rev. Wright…then Bill Ayers….with all the accompanying non-biased, and Pulitzer-Prize-caliber reporting. Then came the "Hillary Clinton was cheated," narrative suggesting (wrongly) that she had more primary votes than Barak Obama. All this was followed by "Obama's only a celebrity like Paris." Then came the "how can Obama overcome his problem with white [...]

Uniquely Exceptional Quagmire

October 7, 2009

The United States is a uniquely exceptional country in the world and always has been. Take the former Soviet Union as an example of how superior the US. is. The Soviets were silly enough to allow communist authoritarians to rule over them. The U.S., on the other hand, is a much more advanced society in [...]

"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 [...]

Heroes & Laws On Torture

May 17, 2009

Republican war hero and last year's GOP presidential nominee… "All I can say is that it was used in the Spanish Inquisition, it was used in Pol Pot's genocide in Cambodia, and there are reports that it is being used against Buddhist monks today," McCain told the New York Times "Of presidential candidates like Mr. [...]
