You Really Think Obama Wants to Keep the Democratic Majority? Come on…

The one party game of good cop/bad cop doesn’t work nearly as well when the good cop holds all the cards, and pisses on the people.

Pagan Talk and Christian Right

By: Tuesday September 21, 2010 9:07 am

YouTube user amacntexas was kind enough to send me a lengthy message with a question at the end. Basically (and I hope I’m not getting this wrong), he was wondering when we would start holding the Christian Right accountable for their actions, just as we get our panties in a bunch of extreme folks in Islam. He may feel free to yell at me if I got that wrong.

We Will Be Watching: Victory for the DREAM Act

By: Tuesday September 21, 2010 6:33 am

Originally posted at Citizen Orange.

The fate of almost a million lives could be decided in the next six hours.  As a voter, as a millenial, as a migrant, as a Guatemalan, I’m writing to say that I will be watching along with the vast majority of those who will determine the future of the United States of America. 

If you already haven’t heard already, Harry Reid is going to offer the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act up as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act.  The Senate is scheduled to vote on taking up the Act tomorrow at 2:15 p.m.  If you haven’t called you’re Senator yet in the support of the DREAM Act please do so now by calling:

888-254-5087

It is imperative that you focus on these Senators.  If you’ve called already, call again.  If you’ve called again, ask five friends to do the same.  If you’ve done all that, here are some more actions you can take.

Emmer and Pawlenty, Courting the Neocon(federates)

By: Monday September 20, 2010 5:49 pm

Last year, I noted how, in his effort to get the powerful neoconfederate wing of the Republican base to back his presidential bid, Minnesota’s absentee governor, Tim Pawlenty, was sending out a veritable symphony of dog whistles to the fans of the Stainless Banner. Now, we see from a look at the state legislative record of his would-be successor, Tom Emmer, that Gutshot Tim isn’t the only neoconfederate fan running loose these days.

“What I would like to know is, Why in the hell do a bunch of Rednecks get all weepy over the idea of the Twin Towers falling in New York when it was full of a bunch of bankers and lawyers? These were people they hate in a city that they hate,” asks SpitfireOFatj via YouTube.
