Over at “Independent and Conservative” (which seems to confirm the truth about Independents in American politics) she generates a list of 17 things that one can do to piss of liberals on Twitter. Honestly, I’m really perplexed as to why someone would want to deliberately set out to poison political discourse in the country instead [...]

Mormon Church raised millions of dollars to influence the Proposition 8 campaign and paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to try and pass Proposition 8. A court found them guilty of 13 counts of late reporting where they initially only said they paid a little bit north of $2,000. The Mormon Church initially admitted to [...]

I wonder how one gets to the point where the United States  gets divided into two camps. You are either a liberal or a conservative. You are either American or Non-American. You are either with us or against us. The Tea Party movement seems to pride itself in their absolute certainty of their views. They [...]

This is good news. After Senate Democrats’ second consecutive failed attempt Tuesday to take up a financial regulatory reform bill, a moderate Republican from Ohio indicated for the first time that he is planning to switch his vote and support opening debate on the bill if a deal isn’t reached soon between the top negotiators [...]

Perhaps she imagines if gay marriage is banned men can’t put their penis into the rectum of another man and “wriggle it around in excrement.” It seems to show that for a lot of those opposed to gay rights are doing it because [...]

Conservative ideology tends to view government as an aloof entity that only intervenes when it comes to issues of national security. Liberal ideology tends to look at government as a [...]

The whole birther movement seems to be dying down. But I had one thought about it while browsing the internet and saw a random thing on birthers. If only birthers applied the same level of scrutiny they place on the birth of Obama on the birth of Jesus. I can only imagine they’d reach a [...]

Someone linked me RedState this morning and that was a mistake. I can’t believe how much they blow hot air and lie over there. They are blaring that the CBO strikes the Democrats again!
