Senate Republicans Stand Alone in Shooting Down World-Wide Act to Help the Disabled

on December 12th, 2012 at 11:30 am

Last week, senate Republicans decided that people with disabilities should not have international rights. Led by Tea Party extremist Mike Lee of Utah, the Party of divisiveness and hate scored another victory for the lunatic fringe. Considering the performance of Congress in recent years, it is almost impossible to believe that things could get worse […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

97 Republicans Sign Their Credibility Away

on November 23rd, 2012 at 7:44 pm

In one of the most unprofessional acts in Congressional history, 97 Republicans saw fit to waste the taxpayer’s dime by lambasting America’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, and signing a letter declaring their opposition to her appointment as Secretary of State. The only problem is, Ms. Rice has not been nominated to be Secretary of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Creationist Marco Rubio Is No Scientist, Man

on November 23rd, 2012 at 12:28 pm

Despite some complicated dealings and questionable friends, Florida senator Marco Rubio has risen to become one of the new faces in the Republican Party. In a party of old white males, Rubio stands out as a boyish-looking 41 year-old male of Cuban heritage. Since Republicans are desperately courting Latinos after alienating them for the last […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

There Can Be No Doubt That Mitt Romney is a Member of the Dangerous John Birch Society

on November 5th, 2012 at 4:03 pm

While Mitt Romney wants you to believe he’s a moderate, he’s actually the most extreme candidate for president since Barry Goldwater in 1964. While members of the John Birch Society hide their membership because it would instantly disqualify them from office, they can’t hide their positions, and if their positions align perfectly with the extremist […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Optics of a Romney Win Would Be Disastrous

on October 31st, 2012 at 6:14 pm

What will you tell a young black boy if  someone who headed a white supremacist organization for most of his life replaces the first non-white President? What will you tell sane people that after Wall Street and the big banks crippled the world economy, Republicans nominate a hedge fund leverage buy-out specialist as their candidate?

How the Mormon Church Developed the John Birch Society

on October 27th, 2012 at 9:03 pm

  The Mormon Church has always staked out positions among the political far right. In the 1920′s Reed Smoot, the first Mormon senator and the most powerful LDS leader in politics at the time, was good friends with Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. By passing the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill, Hoover sent America into the Great Depression. The […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Maybe, Just Maybe…

on October 27th, 2012 at 11:09 am

Maybe a candidate who takes the advice and money of billionaires and right wing nuts really will give them the keys to the White House. Maybe a super-rich aristocrat pushing policies that benefit the rich and punish the poor really is trying to divide America. Maybe a guy who wears brownface, feels Mexicans mistreated him, and opposes the Dream Act […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Characteristics of Cults

on October 26th, 2012 at 10:16 am

While Mormons like to say they’re no crazier than other religions, it’s apparent that when you actually compare them, Mormons have them beat by a mile. Mormons like to shine the light at other religions when they’re questioned, and traditional religions do believe in some pretty outrageous things, but they are distinguished from cults in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

What does Mitt Romney Really Think About Americans

on October 24th, 2012 at 9:20 pm

In 1838, the founder of Mormonism, Joseph Smith, said: “It is written, the riches of the Gentiles shall be consecrated to my people, the house of Israel; and thus you will waste away the Gentiles by robbing and plundering them of their property; and in this way will we build up the kingdom of God” (p.35 In Mormon […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Romney’s Binder Full of Journalists

on October 23rd, 2012 at 8:54 pm

I suppose I’m stretching the word journalists here, but here are some of the television and print people reporting on the news who are obviously in the tank for Mitt Romney. Mark Halperin, Sr. editor at Time Magazine, was granted an exclusive interview with Mitt Romney back in May. It was softball after softball, the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

CNN’s General Election Coverage of Mormonism Uncritical and Overwhelmingly Positive

on October 19th, 2012 at 1:14 pm

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being highly positive stories favorable to the Mormon Church, here’s a run-down of CNN’s coverage of Mormonism this year. You’ll notice that CNN hasn’t run a fair and balanced story (unbiased journalism is rated a 5) on Mormonism since Mitt Romney secured the Republican nomination on May 29th. 10 Marriott head […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Mormchurchian Candidate

on October 18th, 2012 at 7:26 pm

There was a great movie from 1962 called the Manchurian Candidate. It was about a good-looking soldier who, while fighting in Korea, was captured by the Chinese and brainwashed. The soldier’s foreign handlers made him into a war hero and returned him to the United States where they could trigger him to do whatever they […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Karl Rove’s Benghazi Attacks Have Roots in Utah

on October 17th, 2012 at 10:06 pm

Karl Rove ran cover for Mitt Romney during the Republican primaries. Whenever Gingrich or Santorum or one of the other candidates would get close, Rove would show up on Fox News and shoot them down. Rove was a Romney man from the beginning. It’s no surprise then that Rove has taken the lead when it […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Sham of Republican Conservatism

on October 17th, 2012 at 2:11 pm

It took me a while, but I finally figured it out. I have to give Republicans credit, over the years they’ve developed such a complicated shell game that I genuinely thought they had some depth and principle. What I’ve discovered is that they only stand for one thing; rich people getting and keeping as much […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Did Mitt Romney Buy the House Oversight Committee?

on October 16th, 2012 at 3:05 am

The murder of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya set off a witch hunt in Congress for political scapegoats. The most pointed comments were made by Republican members and were directed at President Obama, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Time after time Republicans took potshots at these prominent Democrats, taking facts out […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

on October 15th, 2012 at 1:57 am

What’s up with Republicans Picking Bad Vice-Presidents?

on October 12th, 2012 at 12:20 pm

This is not a new phenomenon. Dwight Eisenhower famously picked red-baiting Richard Nixon as his VP. Asked if he could say something good that Nixon had done after he left office, Ike said, “If you give me a week, I might think of one.” Tricky Dick went on to gain the presidency, and, before he […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Thug Darrell Issa Leads Republican Attack on U.S. State Department

on October 10th, 2012 at 11:07 am

One of California’s most extreme Congressmen, Darrell Issa likes to use American deaths for his political gain. For months he waged a war on the U.S. Border Patrol and Attorney General Eric Holder, holding them responsible for the death of an American border agent. It was all a sham, of course. Issa is an expert […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Jack Welch Lets Us Into The Mind of Corporate America

on October 9th, 2012 at 12:40 am

By now everyone had heard Jack Welch’s paranoid and delusional rantings about how government employment numbers were fixed by the Obama campaign. Welch was absolutely flabbergasted that the unemployment rate went down. This can’t be! This doesn’t smell right. This doesn’t feel right, he kept repeating and repeating. Corporate media gave Welch plenty of valuable […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
