Media FINALLY concedes DNC pro-Clinton bias ten months after Sanders supporters pointed it out.
The Media is acting “shocked” by Friday’s WikiLeaks revelation that the DNC actively took steps to assist the Clinton campaign over those of her rivals, but this was news to NO ONE, going back nearly a full year.

If Hillary Wants My Vote, here is what she must do.
How many times have Hillary supporters (and Hillary herself) tried to guilt Bernie supporters into voting for her simply to “Stop Trump”? Following up on last weeks’ unanswered question of how Bernie supporters could possibly be expected to vote for Hillary without rewarding the questionable tactics of the DNC to suppress support for Senator Sanders… be it […]

How Does One Support Hillary without rewarding DNC misbehavior?
The Democratic Party took sides in the race from Day One and actively harmed the Sanders campaign. Now they want Sanders’ endorsement and the votes of his supporters offering NOTHING in return but threats & ridicule.

Stop Trying to Save Your Drug-Addicted Child, because: Math. Responding to Clinton supporters
Hillary supporters who cite “numbers” or “process” trying to convince Sanders supporters to just “give up” don’t get it. This is about saving Democracy itself from the 1-percent.

Republicans Bemoan Obama’s Iran Hostage Deal. But Republican presidents fared FAR worse
Following last weeks release of 10 servicemen and 5 civilians from Iranian custody in only a matter of hours, Republicans were quick to condemn Obama for showing weakness. But Reagan & both Bushes did the same with worse results.

Ingraham asks, “When have Republicans EVER obstructed President Obama?”
“They have been his best friend! What are you talking about?”, chuckled Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham during Fox “news” Sunday yesterday when Juan Williams said “This [Republican] Congress has relentlessly obstructed President Obama on everything!” “Where have they obstructed Obama?” she demanded incredulously. No, I didn’t make that up. Much to the chagrin of […]

Thanksgiving With My Conservative Family Explains A Lot
When you’re the only Liberal in a family of Conservatives living in the South, getting together for the holidays can be a tricky thing. But mostly, it has taught me a lot about the Conservative Mind and particularly why they believe what they believe. First, you start with a foundation of bigotry. It may not be very deep, but […]

Boehner Ousted by the Tea Party He Helped Create. Lesson Learned? Doubtful.
In 2010 during the first mid-term election of Obama’s presidency, House Minority Leader John Boehner knew that in order for the GOP to retake the majority (and make him the Speaker), he would have to court the Tea Party crazies that were seizing control of the GOP, adopting their insane ramblings like “BenghaziTM“, threatening to sue […]

Republicans want to repeal the 14th Amendment? Maybe we should let them.
The question of whether or not to amend, or even flat-out repeal, the 14th Amendment… passed in 1868… is suddenly a hot topic in 2015. Donald Trump has put the issue of whether or not to continue “Birthright Citizenship” front & center in the debate over next years’ election. But the “14th Amendment” covers a lot more than just […]

What the “Trump Bump” tells us about today’s GOP
Two weeks ago (June 16th), “dead rat toupee enthusiast” Donald Trump officially announced his candidacy for the GOP presidential nomination before a crowd of paid-to-cheer casting extras in one of the most offensive, bigoted, dystopic announcement speeches since Strom Thurmond ran for president in 1948 as the “States Rights” Party (sound familiar) nominee vowing to fight efforts to end segregation.

Beginning of the End for Religious Bigotry Laws
Last weeks’ historic Supreme Court ruling declaring no legal basis to justify discrimination against Same-Sex couples was condemned by every single GOP presidential hopeful (sans Rand Paul who has a history of waiting to test the political mood before commenting on controversial issues) as being in violation of “religious liberty” laws protecting the right of bigots to […]
