This is from the nutjobs in the village freaking about Proposition 8 in California. I'm speechless.



I can't wait for a week to pass so i can stop feeling compelled to post these atrocities.

Sure hope Obama is going to unleash some Culture Peace.

"When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out."

--Martin Niemöller, 1976

More Republican Lemmings Jumping

More high-profile Republican lemmings seem to be jumping ship these days. A wave o them. Colin Powell, of course, being the highest profile defection to the Obama camp, has done a tremendous amount to show citizens how it is possible to be sane in our choices. This is not football. When people do not perform in ways that are good for you, you must fire them, even if they are on your "team."

Anyhoo, former Senator Pressler, and former Chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, is the latest.

"...Pressler said he had concerns about his party's fiscal policy, particularly the war in Iraq, that went beyond the presidential campaign.

"We have to be a moderate party. We can't be for all these foreign military adventures. We have to stop spending so much money. My God, the deficit is so high!" he said. "The Republican Party I knew in the 1970s is just all gone."

Despite his support for Obama, however, Pressler emphasized that he intended to stay in the GOP and described himself as a "moderate conservative."

"I'm not leaving the Republican Party. We're going to reform it," he said, but added: "In the general election, if you have disagreements, you should not vote the party line."

The Republicans Are Looking More and More Like a Lynch Mob

THIS MUTILATION HOAX is really so unbelievable. The McCain campaign is looking so incredibly desperate, out of control, grasping at straws. I think we are going to see a lot of anger this week. And i bet an explosion of dubious volunteers like this Ashley Todd, doing what they can to "help."

The Republican Party is Looking More and More Like a Lynch Mob

This woman is a United States Congresswoman. Michelle Bachmann is the new poster child of Republican intolerance, racism, and insanity. I'm sure you've all heard about her performance on Chris Matthew's Hardball last Friday, in which she--in a chillingly McCarthyesque kind of way--called for an investigation into the anti-
Americanism of Barack Obama and other liberals.

This is what happens when people who can not think for themselves become cogs in a machine they don't understand.



The more i see of her, the more i wonder how the people of Minnesota EVER elected her.

If you'd like to make a campaign contribution to her opponent, do so HERE

I Prayed, and It Worked!

RELIGULOUS is here today!

Newsclipping of the Day :: Homespun Wisdom from Garrison Keillor

"We Americans are a stalwart and stouthearted people, and never more so than in hard times.

People weep in the dark and arise in the morning and go to work. The waves crash on your nest egg and a chunk is swept away and you put your salami sandwich in the brown bag and get on the bus.

In Philly, a woman earns $10.30 per hour to care for a man brought down by cystic fibrosis. She bathes and dresses him in the morning, brings him meals, puts him to bed at night. It's hard work lifting him and she has suffered a painful hernia that, because she can't afford health insurance, she can't get fixed, but she still goes to work because he'd be helpless without her.

There are a lot of people like her. I know because I'm related to some of them.

Low dishonesty and craven cynicism sometimes win the day but not inevitably. The attempt to link Barack Obama to an old radical in his neighborhood has desperation and deceit written all over it.

Meanwhile, stunning acts of heroism stand out, such as the fidelity of military lawyers assigned to defend detainees at Guantánamo Bay - uniformed officers faithful to their lawyerly duty to offer a vigorous defense even though it means exposing the injustice of military justice that is rigged for conviction and the mendacity of a commander in chief who commits war crimes.

If your law school is looking for a name for its new library, instead of selling the honor to a fat cat alumnus, you should consider the names of Lieutenant Commander Charles Swift, Lieutenant Colonel Mark Bridges, Colonel Steven David, Lieutenant Colonel Sharon Shaffer, Lieutenant Commander Philip Sundel and Major Michael Mori.

It was dishonest, cynical men who put forward a clueless young woman for national office, hoping to juice up the ticket, hoping she could skate through two months of chaperoned campaigning, but the truth emerges: The lady is talking freely about matters she has never thought about. The American people have an ear for untruths. They can tell when someone's mouth is moving and the clutch is not engaged.

When she said, "One thing that Americans do at this time, also, though, is let's commit ourselves just every day, American people, Joe Six-Pack, hockey moms across the nation, I think we need to band together and say never again. Never will we be exploited and taken advantage of again by those who are managing our money and loaning us these dollars," people smelled gas.

Some Republicans adore her because they are pranksters at heart and love the consternation of grown-ups. The ne'er-do-well son of the old Republican family as president, the idea that you increase government revenue by cutting taxes, the idea that you cut social services and thereby drive the needy into the middle class, the idea that you overthrow a dictator with a show of force and achieve democracy at no cost to yourself - one stink bomb after another, and now Governor Sarah Palin.

She is a chatty sportscaster who lacks the guile to conceal her vacuity, and she was John McCain's first major decision as nominee. This troubles independent voters, and now she is a major drag on his candidacy. She will get a nice book deal from Regnery and a new career-making personal appearances for 40 grand a pop, and she'll become a trivia question, "What politician claimed foreign-policy expertise based on being able to see Russia from her house?" And the rest of us will have to pull ourselves out of the swamp of Republican economics.

Your broker kept saying, "Stay with the portfolio, don't jump ship," and you felt a strong urge to dump the stocks and get into the money market where at least you're not going to lose your shirt, but you didn't do it and didn't do it, and now you're holding a big bag of brown bananas. Me, too. But at least I know enough not to believe desperate people who are talking trash. Anybody who got whacked last week and still thinks McCain-Palin is going to lead America out of the swamp and not into a war with Iran is beyond persuasion in the English language. They'll need to lose their homes and be out on the street in a cold, hard rain before they connect the dots."

Wow. The Obama Campaign has bought an entire channel on the dish network. I can't think of better use for television. I'm sure many conservatives and Republicans are pissed. But really, what a great idea; surely better than 30 second commercials. This will surely be a game changer.
