Politico parodies itself (via): The Senate, once the chamber of deliberation and reason, is getting its own extreme makeover. Moderates such as Maine Republican Olympia Snowe and Democrat Ben Nelson are bolting an institution that barely resembles the one they entered as idealistic deal makers. Ben Nelson? Idealistic dealmaker? These are words that should not be in the ... (1 comments)Despicable Quote of the Day - Icky Gay Sexytime Is A Threat To National Security
“Given the propensity for members of the homosexual community to engage in frequent and anonymous sexual encounters, the risk to national security of having a homosexual in a high-ranking position with access to secret information is obvious.” Bryan Fischer, Nutbag (0 comments)Newsweek Hearts America. Seriously. They Really F*cking Mean It.
I guess a cover featuring Uncle Sam hungrily masturbating to a painting of Jesus wearing an American flag was deemed to be insufficiently patriotic.

Mississippi: A Shining Example Of Limited Government
Ah, the land of Mississippi – that shining bastion of God-fearing, limited-government conservatism. Well, unless you want to father illegitimate babies — then the government will throw you in jail. (5 comments)Over in the UK, Labour is now up big over the ruling Tories. Part of that is almost certainly a stalled, ailing economy, but what’s sort of interesting because a big part of their drop is due to implementing a cap on charitable deductions, which is essentially what Obama wanted to do here to cut ...

Connecticut ends the practice. I have to say, this is one of those social movements that is regularly winning big victories, but almost nobody seems to be paying attention. Which is fine by me–under the wire is probably the best way for this thing to go for now.

You might have been able to get ... (0 comments)What Do You Want Schwarzenegger To Write About In His Memoirs?
The Santorum Has Officially Been Mopped Up In The 2012 Race
I think this gets it right. Additionally, though, while I find Rick Santorum’s beliefs to be pretty risible, and his inability to accept that his ideas had some less-than-ideal results during the ’00s is a personal failing, but at the very least he seemed to possess some sense of personal honor and integrity. Not as good as ...

Wow! That last one is scary. Advocating assassination of the President?
And we allow them to label themselves Christians. They sound more like the Brown Shirts of the Nazis. If we are lucky they might have their own “Night of the Long Knives.”
Notice how Dan Holman backpedaled on admitting it was immoral to kill?
"Leach said when human law conflicts with God’s Laws, “we ought to obey God rather than man.”
WELL THEY BETTER STONE THEIR CHILDREN AND LET MEN RAPE THEIR DAUGHTER…ETC, ETC, ETC.
Sorry, the comments kinda got to me.
whenever I read stuff like this, it reminds me of why I dislike these religious nuts and why I hate organized religion. These people claim to be christians but actually they are just a bunch of hipocrits. I'm sure God has a plan for them, deep in the recesses of HELL
I always find it fascinating how people can be so in love with the unborn. Meanwhile, they've got nothing for the living.
Anti-abortionists don't adopt so many children we have none in orphanages. Anti-abortionists don't care about the fact giving birth is a process that even today can kill the mother. Anti-abortionists don't care that the No. 1 cause of death for children in the world is starvation.
Oh, but they LOVE fetuses when they are tucked away from view inside the mother. Anti-abortionists just don't care about what happens to babies once they are outside the mother and have needs, like to be fed.
Remember anti-abortionists: Dr. Tiller was an embryo once.
I feel that in reality they do not care about children in any condition, but rather in power. That is they want the power to decide who can have children, when or where. This is why you find most of these same people lamenting birth control. They feel that the only place for a woman is in the home, pregnant, and barefoot.
We need to organize ourselves, get angry, and fight back against this kind of bullshit. Whether these extremists like it or not, abortion is still legal in this country and Dr. Tiller was helping women in a very difficult circumstance. He put his life on the line to help women. I wish there was something we could do other than just gripe about these whackjobs.
I will not hesitate to state my feelings about this subject whenever I see or hear people like this celebrating a murder.
i wish there was something more i can do. these psychopaths operate with relative impunity. so much about this disgusts me on so many levels.
But you are doing positive things by just allowing discussion about the assassination. There will not be a fast answer to this problem. These people as dedicated to their program as the Taliban are. With the Catholic Church’s position that live begins at conception and that even birth control is a sin, we are faced with an uphill fight. Remember that this battle is about who controls a woman. Does she control herself, or does the church control her.
Schu, I agree. There is a control issue at the root of this.
In a sense we are organizing when we comment on these issues on this website.
The murder of doctors who perform abortions is exactly the kind of intimidation method terrorists and the Taliban use. It is the use of deadly violence to inflict one's own agenda and ideas upon others.
Anti-abortionists who murder doctors are domestic terrorists no different than Timothy McVeigh and should be treated as such. They should be quickly executed.
