Should President Obama Go to Church?
Commented Apr 10, 2009 at 14:07:54 in Politics
“Why are we wasting time on this non-issue? I am sick and tired of the photo-op culture
with church.
The last guy was a phony self-rightous wingnut who tourtured people in our name
and destroyed the constitution. But by golly there he was in church on most sundays.
Let's end the platitudes and the madness.”

“Altering your mental state with a green plant from the ground should not be compared to
adultry. Cheating hurts your family and friends. Smoking in moderation hurts no one except the unfortunate victim of draconian drug laws.”

“Lieberman is a sanctimonious sleaze. His actual constituents are in Tel Aviv. He gives Orthodox rabbis a bad name.”

“Poor Joe!
He can now officially be called "Joe the Traitor". If he had an ethical bone in his opportunistic body or if stood for anything he spoke for (or against) he would have resigned.
When you think about it it makes sense. Now that the people he supported have lost, he is willing to betray them by caucusing with the democrats once again.
At least "Joe the Plumber" did not betray the Republicans!”

Stop Blaming California's Black Voters for Prop 8

“I agree not all blacks should be blamed for this disaster passing. However, Equality is ACROSS THE BOARD. It doesn't change with each group in question. There were many gays who fought in the civil rights era aginst segregation. Granted most were still in the closet but they risked their lives just the same.”

“Much like many blacks did fight and support gay rights. It is a two way street.”

Rest in Peace, My Fierce Friend: Stephanie Tubbs Jones

“I was fortunate to meet Stephanie at an anti-war rally near the White House and
she was just at the NDC celebrating the birthday of a collegue on Karaoke night.
She was a big voice for progressive causes and it's sad that she's gone.”

Why Karl Rove Should Go To Jail
Commented Jul 18, 2008 at 19:47:39 in Politics
“Wrong, AzRealProgressive. Rove has only said he will give answers
behind closed doors, with no oath or transcripts. And its a one-time deal.
No other meetings will follow. Why should he get away with that?
The rest of us would be in jail by now.”

Even Paid Speech Isn't Free

“We have a bill of rights NOW but it is slowly being eroded so the
average "low-information" voter doesn't notice. The GOP has so destroyed the middle
class in this country that nobody has time to decent against any of the damage being done to our constutuion. If we don't get on the stick this country will be a shell of its former self in a generation. There will be just enough "freedom" to make people think we still have rights but the boom will be lowered on anyone with ANY chance of reversing the ravages being imposed on us.
Jingoism is destroying this country.”

“Those "low information voters", they'd be the ones that don't see the world as you?
Nice rant but do you have an explanation for what the other branches of government were doing while Bush destroyed the middle class and wrecked the constitution..
The middle class is threatened by rampant illegal immigration and the high cost of fuel. Two issues democrats want more of.
Would you mind awfully much sharing some anecdotal personal information. Specifically, which freedoms you have lost and what ravages were imposed on you?”

Opponents of Retroactive Immunity Live To Fight Another Day

“Because the administration refuses to cooperate with any investigations and this sleazy "president" has closed all the loopholes.
I hope if Obama is elected he will not back down on his promise to have his Attorney General
stay on these issues. We must hold this president accountable.”

“Dear Senator Dodd
I just called both of my Maryland senators and told them to vote for your amendment. Both flunkies listened politely and probably wrote a tic mark next to the issue. I wish I didn't feel so helpless. Thank you so much for standing up for our 4th amendment rights.
This thing most likely will pass. But maybe, as in Keith Olbermann's special comment the bill will only
give immunity for civil suits and not criminal. At least that's what I understood.
Obama will hopefully vote for this like he said but he needs to support the rest of the bill to get elected.
Hopefully if he IS elected, he will revist FISA like he is promising now.
Remember, voting for McCain is not an option, despite our anger with him now.”

“huh?
why does OBAMA need to support this bill to get elected??
I would think just the opposite, him showing a position of leadership and courage
would galvanize the entire country!”

Shame on those who know better and stay hidden!

“History will have as much disgust for Congress as for Bush. The Founders knew there would be dictator wannabees. Bush wouldn't have surprised them. They gave us the tools, however, to rid ourselves of these people. That we didn't do it deserves as much, if not more, loathing as Bush himself.
Our generation has set precedents that guarantee that the next Bush will come sooner rather than later, and be that much harder to get rid of.”
