Is GOP Anti-Life?

May 13, 2011

Oh my. A number of Catholic academics have signed a letter to House Speaker John Boehner encouraging him to reconsider his political party's policies of stripping services from the most vulnerable while simultaneously giving the wealthy more tax breaks. Quick review. All but four House Republicans voted for the now-infamous Ryan budget. As detailed here [...]

Never Has Been About The Spending

April 8, 2011

I have argued until my keyboard keys are worn out that our current crop of Republicans in Washington do not care one whit about government spending….and really never have cared. The same goes for the deficit and the national debt. Talk is cheap and with today's Tea Party inspired Republicans….cheap talk has been on sale. [...]

Hell Or The End of Days?

March 28, 2011

I guess it could be part of mankind's evolved nature. When times get tough….humans turn to superstition. Whether it's crass, opportunistic, carnival barkers like Glenn Beck playing his not-ready-for-prime-time audiences for suckers….using Japan's perfect storm situation as an excuse to bring up the cartoonish, biblical End of Days. Or whether, as I read in the [...]

T-Paw, Newton & God

March 9, 2011

Monday brought us the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition (IFFC) gathering. An opportunity for brand name conservative opportunists to pledge their allegiance to god…..and America, god's country…..before they decide to jump into the Republican presidential primary battles. Noticeably absent from the Iowa event was the man who will be the Republican presidential candidate next year, [...]

Sharia & Religious Law

January 21, 2011

6 months ago Newsweek took a poll asking this question: "Some people have alleged that Barack Obama sympathizes with the goals of Islamic fundamentalists who want to impose Islamic law around the world. From what you know about Obama, what is your opinion of these allegations?" Results? The top-line result was definitely true 7%, probably [...]

Brand New Voodoo

January 5, 2011

I think the new Republican House procedural rules are worthy of discussion. Nobel prize winner in economics, Paul Krugman, has some fun with those rules here…..but Krugman, as all Americans have been informed by now, is a communist infiltrator, probably originally born in Venezuela or Cuba, who later changed his name from Hugo Chakrugvez to [...]

God Is Back In The News

November 22, 2010

Ever notice how news about God often comes in a series? Kind of like HBO. You know, you won't hear anything about God for awhile, and then all of a sudden, he makes his presence known in several rapid fire earthly stories. Seems odd…but then we're talkin' about God here, not your regular Joe. His [...]

Justice Dept. Claims Islam Is A Religion

October 19, 2010

Remember the totally choregraphed emergency about ter'rist Muslims defiling Ground Zero by exercising their first amendment rights to build a community center a few blocks away from where the Towers fell? It was a proud and pivotal moment for the American Idiot group known as the Tea Party. Sister Sarah, HeadMistress of the Church of [...]

Uncompromising GOP Fundamentalists

October 18, 2010

Digby links to The Hill's 2010 Midterm Election Poll today. I found this interesting… Fifty-eight percent of Democrats said they would urge the lawmaker they supported to “look for compromises across the aisle”; only 35 percent would rather urge their representatives to “stay firm on their principles.” …… Sixty-two percent of Republican voters said they [...]

Smaller Government….My Derriere

October 7, 2010

If I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times. Conservative opponents of President Obama tell us that what America needs is "smaller government." Smaller government is one of the primary concerns of the often-incoherent group known as the Tea Parties. Tea Partiers are mad as hell and they simply ain't gonna' take anymore [...]
