WingnutStock 2009

September 1, 2009

It could be called the Summer of Insanity. But that's too harsh, isn't it? Too shrill. Rather than refer to the brave, thoughtful and calmly-expressed, yet steroidally-enhanced, patriotism we've been witnessing this summer over the many Democratic proposals to kill our grandparents and turn all of us into socialist Obamabots with a strong desire to [...]

Torture Defenders: Self-Deceived Or Gullible?

August 31, 2009

My blog buddy King last week….
What our media hasn't bothered to tell you is that the early interrogation and Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (EIT's) used against terrorist monsters like al-Nashiri, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, and Abu Zubaydah worked, just like former VP Dick Cheney said they did.

August 20, 2009

Today, I read in the Community section of the Beacon what Geauga County Republican state senator Tim Grendell, speaking at yesterday's Cuyahoga Falls, Republican Party Tea Bagging protest event, said to a crowd of 7000 Tea Baggers….
"I was not born in a socialist country, and I will not die in a socialist country."

Health Care & Abortion

August 14, 2009

What We've Been Witnessing

July 27, 2009

We witnessed it during the presidential campaign with the incessant profiling of voters by media along racial lines.
