Support Leviticus 11:10 - Boycott Maine Lobster
On November 3, 2009, a small majority of the voters in the Sate of Maine decided that their secular state should be ruled by the book of Leviticus. They used the passages of Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 to strip the GLBT residents of Maine of their basic civil right of marriage. Since Maine residents believe that everyone in their state should be ruled by the book of Leviticus, and Leviticus 11:10...

Obama Risks a Domestic Military Intervention
By: John L. Perry of Newsmax Magazine
There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the “Obama problem.” Don’t dismiss it as unrealistic.
America isn’t the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened...

Any parent who removes their child from school because the President of the United States is speaking to them is a sorry excuse for an American. And I disagree with those who say it’s because Barack Obama is black. It has nothing to do with race; it has everything to do with unfiltered, hypocritical partisanship, pure hatred and a lack of respect for the office of the President.

Top 10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should Be Illegal
Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can...

Bush and Obama: The “N” Word…Nazi
One disturbing and growing theme during the health care debate has been that far right conservatives are panning Obama is a socialist/un-American/Nazi who wants nothing more than to kill your grandmother. Of course, we on the left find this laughable if only because we remember the bad-old-days of the Bush administration.
Indeed, many on the left panned Bush as a Nazi and unabashedly screamed it...

Rush Limbaugh Wants Ahmadinejad to Succeed
Rush Limbaugh has been very unapologetic in his assertion that he wants President Obama to fail. I’m assuming this would apply to foreign affairs as well as domestic policy. So does that mean Rush wants the tyrannical, freedom-crushing Ahmadinejad to succeed in Iran?
Answer: Yes.

This right-wing terrorist website is profiting from the sale of “hunting” stickers which encourage the murder of liberals. Is there any wonder why right-wing hate and violence is on the rise in this country and is encouraged by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly and others? Disgusting.

America Has Never Been a Christian Nation
Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and Randall Terry would all like you to believe the United States was founded as, and continues to be, a Christian nation. They would like you to believe the rights we enjoy as Americans were granted by their god and only their god. These radical neoconservatives forget that freedom from religious oppression is one of the founding principles which led to the formation...

The Illogical Conservative
Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and a handful of right-wing extremists are calling on Judge Sonia Sotomayor to withdraw her nomination because of what they view are “racist” remarks (yes, ironic a Republican would be offended by a racist). This comes after their criticism of President Obama’s desire to find someone who is “empathetic” and with real world experience.

Ten Things To Know About Judge Sonia Sotomayor
Judge Sotomayor would bring more federal judicial experience to the bench than any Supreme Court justice in 100 years. Over her three-decade career, she has served in a wide variety of legal roles, including as a prosecutor, litigator, and judge.
Judge Sotomayor is a trailblazer. She was the first Latina to serve on the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and was the youngest member of...

The Constitution vs. the Bible: What Happens When...
There are two schools of thought on how the United States Constitution should be read. On one hand, you have those who interpret the Constitution quite literally. These people – usually conservative in ideology – argue we should view this document as our Founding Fathers intended: word-by-word, literal and with little room for interpretation. On the other side, there are those who view the...
Democrats Do It Better
The truth is, since 1900 Democratic presidents have dominated on every economic front.
Let’s do a quick rundown of the presidential scorecard. The dissection of more than a hundred years of White House economic polciy reveals some startling if not unexpected numbers:
Since 1900, Democrats saw a 12.3% return on the S&P 500 to the Republicans’ 8%
Since 1930, Democrats created...
How to be a Republican in Ten Easy Steps
1. Always act superior, even when your opponent clearly outclasses you intellectually (this will happen frequently).
2. Demand that your opponent provide evidence to prove their point, then dismiss the evidence based on its source when they do, no matter how widely-accepted or valid that source happens to be. If you can’t do that, lie and deny that you said what you said, or lie and say your...

Buckley, said Friday he’s decided to back Barack Obama’s White House bid, the first time in his life he will vote Democrat. “It’s a good thing my dear old mum and pup [sic] are no longer alive.

Wall Street Journal blasts John McCain
FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty
When you graduate 894th out of a class of 899, eventually it will show up.
And John McCain’s mediocre performance at the Naval Academy is showing up big time this week in his total lack of understanding of the nation’s financial crisis.
He told us he didn’t know much about the economy… now he’s proving it.
So much so that the Wall Street Journal, perhaps America’s...
