Chris Hayes, Bill Keller and Understanding What The Romney/Ryan Ticket Really Means
It’s been both scary and incredibly frustrating watching so many Americans vote against their own well-being and the well-being of their neighbors. But it’s far from surprising: 8 years of George W. Bush, the rise of Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, even Ronald Reagan being considered one of our “great” presidents… There is a portion… Continue reading

Every Country Has Its Own Rev. Terry Jones
Protests throughout the Middle-East condemning Reverend Terry Jones’ claim that he will burn copies of the Quran (which the Reverend then said he would not do and is now reconsidering again), have resulted in injuries and the stupidest of all responses, the burning of the American flag. Like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck’s followers, there… Continue reading

The Ugly Americans: Reverend Jones & Friends
I’ll start out by saying that I’m thrilled to see so many people standing up to oppose Reverend Terry Jones’ intention to hold a “Burn A Quran Day” event on September 11th. In the face of the overwhelming ignorance, hatred and blatant religious and ethnic bigotry opposing the proposed building of an Islamic Community Center… Continue reading

Kyl & Bunning: Truth Hurts
I’ve been writing a lot lately about a certain mentality sweeping the country (or, more appropriately, coming into light), where facts and logic no longer count. For example, the internet is a great place to find a group of people who believe what you want to believe. So no matter how many facts are thrown… Continue reading

The Retardation Of America: Truth Or Consequences
What does the future face of America look like? There is still a large faction of extreme right-wing, anti-intellectual, bigots spouting threats of a “take-over” in 2012. Now it just remains to be seen whether or not enough Americans bite into that worm-filled apple and propel this country into its death-throws, or whether or not… Continue reading

Is America Worth Saving?
It’s a question I’ve asked myself many a time. In fact, I find myself asking it about the entire human race from time to time. And the answer’s always the same: I sure as hell hope so. I’d like to believe that we can grow and mature, learn from our mistakes. But like children who… Continue reading

Lively Doesn’t Want Gays Killed, Just Eliminated
Scott Lively, the president of one of the most hateful organizations in America –Abiding Truth Ministries– has spoken out against Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill. A bill he, in essence, helped create. “I suggested they liberalize the law, not to make it more [harsh]. What’s the gay agenda in Uganda? It’s the attempt to homosexualize the country… Continue reading

What Would Palin Do?
My love/hate relationship with the extreme conservative right continues. Yes, I love how fascinatingly absurd they can be –beyond anything I could have imagined– and I hate the fact that there are people in this country ignorant enough to take them seriously. Well, let’s hope conservative Canadians are a smarter lot than our American conservative… Continue reading
