Death and Taxes (without the Death)
h/t to Joanne Cabry for this.
If you’re a conservative who hates taxes, please do the following.
1. Do not use Medicare.
2. Do not use Social Security
3. Do not become a member of the US military, who are paid with tax dollars.
4. Do not ask the National Guard to help you after a disaster.
5. [...]
Joe Scarborough Makes The Point
I can’t stop thinking about the Tucson shooting. I have even started talking to myself as I go about my day. In my one-on-one conversations I always come back to the same point about violence and rhetoric. Joe Scarborough, in a letter calling out Palin and Beck by name, puts my thoughts into words:
You weren’t [...]
Drivel
Occasionally, I pop over to Delaware Politics. There’s nothing like a big dose of crazy to keep a person focused, and FVoshell’s latest piece, aptly titled Us and Them, brings on a whole new level of crazy. It’s not just that she’s wrong – she is – it’s that she’s based her entire post on [...]

Resignation Watch
We’ve all been watching the great Republican purge for about one year now. Republicans like Dede Scozzafava and David Frum have been kicked out of being Republicans in good standing for not showing sufficient deference to wingnut orthodoxy. We’ve watched Republican party leaders like Michael Steele and Eric Cantor have to apologize for [...]

Conservatives are playing a very dangerous game.
Some are even issuing instructions…

Conservatives And Their Need To Control Women
For over a year I have pondered over the Republican man-child. And while I do believe their views on abortion, marriage, and women can pretty much be summed up by saying “it’s about the sex,” I’ve come to realize that that’s only a sophomoric side effect. It’s really about control – control over women.
Grab a [...]
David Brooks Lives In The Dream World Of Sluts While Pining Over Fonzi
Words cannot express how sick I am over articles like this. Let’s highlight the best parts of how texting has led to promiscuity.
Once upon a time — in what we might think of as the “Happy Days” era — courtship was governed by a set of guardrails. Potential partners generally met within the context of [...]
Overreacting to ACORN
I am a little disturbed by the latest round of ACORN bashing in Washington this week. After a pair of conservative actors staged their own sting operation to see if ACORN employees would help them operate an illegal business, there have been a slew of actions taken. ACORN has lost business that they had with [...]

Longing For The Days Of The Child Bride
Michael Gerson’s Washington Post’s Lost In A World Without Courtship article is silly and shallow. It also completely ignores one of the major factors determining when people decide to marry. Economics.
But the facts of life for 20-somethings are challenging. Puberty — mainly because of improved health — comes steadily sooner. Sexual activity kicks off earlier. [...]
There’s More To Civility Than Not Using Bad Words
I was going to ignore David Anderson’s post yesterday on “Culture,” but then he went and posted this nonsense – charmingly titled “Not everyone wants to be a slut.” Seems that in David’s world there are only two types of women: good girls and sluts. Which shouldn’t be surprising given his sanctimonious rantings on the [...]

Conservatives Are The Reason Support For Gay Marriage Is Rising
Conservatives are becoming hysterical, and their rhetoric proves it.
“The NOM has argued that it is not a homophobic organization, but Card’s remarks suggest otherwise. Card, who represents the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the board and received an effusive welcome last week from NOM president Maggie [...]
