Why John McCain's "Surge" Success Story is a Lie

OK. Please sign a legally binding contract that you accept responsibility for, and will compensate anyone harmed by your second hand smoke. Also agree not to submit an insurance claim for any tobacco related disease you contract. If you have an automobile accident because you were fumbling around with a cigarette, agree that you accept full responsibility and will not pursue an insurance claim. Pick up every cigarette butt you have ever thrown on the ground. Agree to smoke only in a controlled environment, with proper filters, where you do not pollute the air that we all have to breath. posted 07/22/2008 at 16:09:32

New McCain Ad: Obama To Blame For High Gas Prices

People who vote Republican are not inclined to check facts.
They are the one issue voters who prefer to vote on one false premise, rather than engage in actual thought or analysis of the real issues. How many Republicans benefit from tax breaks for the ultra-rich? The rest of us get to make up the difference, including those who voted Republican. Who benefits from sending manufacturing overseas? Who will purchase the goods and services that corporate America sells when we are all reduced to corporate serfs? How did gasoline prices REALLY get to $4.00 + per gallon? posted 07/21/2008 at 11:59:02

Get serious. Look no further than the basic personality traits that lead one to be progressive or conservative. Progressives have a sense of community and caring for those who cannot take care of themselves. Conservatives are preoccupied with their own well being and resent the thought of giving a dime to anyone in need. The patron saint of the GOP, Saint Ronny, cut funding for mental health.

Bush: No Greenhouse Gas Regulation Under My Watch

When I go to the mall, there are always people in idling cars with the air conditioning running, even during pleasant weather.

As I pass over the lake causeway, the lake is crisscrossed with the wakes of jet skis and speedboats. Large cabin cruisers are everywhere.

What is Patriotism?

Patriotism is standing by the principles on which this country is founded. Those principles are clearly stated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. That means opposing illegal actions that violate those principles, regardless of who committed those violations, including, and especially, a president sworn to uphold those principles.

As Rev. Williams has stated, many of us have confused tokenism with patriotism. Tokenism is not patriotism. Many believe wearing a flag pin is patriotism. Slap a plastic magnet on your car, and you support the troops. How about supporting them by not allowing them to serve in an illegal Oil Grab War? How about voting out of office those who would deliberately ignore peaceful options, even lie, to pursue war?

The antithesis of patriotism is demonstrated by the GOP Congressional loyalists who provide cover for crimes against the nation by forestalling investigation and prosecution. This is either misguided loyalty, or self-protection due to complicity. Either way, it is not patriotism. posted 07/03/2008 at 14:22:39
