Hatred Rears Its Ugly Head »

You may have seen this report of Gay youth who were murdered in Tel Aviv:

The spontaneous march in response, the solidarity evident, brought tears to my eyes.
While we are on the subject of the GLBT community, as of this writing, according to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, 332 service members have been dismissed under DADT [...]

Are We Training Our Own Domestic Terrorists? »

Are extremists infiltrating our own military to the point of inadvertently training terrorists who will attack us in the future? It turns out that at least 40 persons who list their occupation as “military” are profiled on the Internet forum New Saxon, a Facebook-like site operated by the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement.
Is this a [...]

david letterman apologizes, and maher makes desperate cry for attention »

David Letterman is still feeling the heat for his jokes attacking the Palin daughters, and finally decided to do the right thing, and apologize. And no, he didn’t apologize last week. He made excuses and covered his buttocks.

There is a web site called firedavidletterman.com that is organizing a rally to be held outside of his [...]

More On The Soldier And The Doctor »

I saw the post linked below at memeorandum.com, and wanted to share it with you. Before that, though, let me just say that I have absolutely nothing against Muslims, or Islam. Islam, like most other world religions, gets a bad rap from its more fanatical fringe practitioners. The majority of Muslims are [...]

“We’re Becoming A Puritanical Society” »

The other day, I wrote a post about Proposition 8 being upheld by the California Supreme Court. In response to that post, faithful reader, SFIndie, made this comment, which I want to share with you here. She does, in fact, live in San Francisco, and knows whereof she speaks. Anyway, I thought [...]

Well, Golly Gee, Anne, That Will Learn Him! »

As in Anne Hathaway, an actress I actually like, and one whose movies I have seen (yes, both Princess Diaries - what’s your point??!). She has taken such a strong stand, I am sure you will agree, on an important issue. Oh, yes - I am talking, of course, about her decision to [...]

A Matter of Degrees »

No matter where you fall on the Israel/Gaza issue, and I know people have strong feelings on both sides, two events this past weekend are disturbing. They are disturbing because we have been down this road before. And this is a road down which we never want to go again, not Israel, not [...]

If This Is A Feminist… »

Then I have been mislabeling myself for the past 36 years. See, I thought a feminist was someone who believed in women’s equality, who believed that women’s rights were human rights, who believed that women had the right to make decisions about our own bodies, that women had the right to equal pay, and [...]

Oh, Cry Me A River… »

Barney Frank.
(bumped up by Susan)
Now, I freely admit, up front, that when I lived in Massachusetts some time ago, I voted for Frank, more than once. At that time, he was not one of the Old Boys Club, he was not an establishment guy. He sure as heck is NOW, as [...]

It Takes A Special Kind Of Person… »

To attack a place of worship. That is just what someone, or someones, did on Friday, Dec. 12, 2008, when they set fire to the Wasilla Bible Church in Wasilla, AK:

And they did a substantial amount of damage, over $1 million. What is more, people were actually inside the church at [...]

HATE–The Ugliest Four-Letter-Word »

“HATE” is the ugliest four letter word. We have seen way too much of it displayed during the last 18 months.
I’m not talking about criticizing candidates on their policies, actions, decisions, or experience, so long as the content isn’t made up of whole cloth. Lively debate is not always polite.
I’m talking [...]

Misogyny was the central narrative of the Obama campaign »

(image from Post Secret)
The image above was posted on Post Secret on November 8, 2008. I have no doubt that the dominate narrative of this campaign — the forceful suppression of women — is responsible for the author’s “secret.” In the Obama-realm, feminism isn’t just bad, it’ll ruin your life. One only need to look [...]

Open Thread »

Just a thought: Have any of the rest of you gotten so that when Fox News reports on Casey Anthony*, you’re anxious to hear the latest? I’m laughing out loud. No, it’s a fleeting thing, honestly! I assure you! But it’s kind of a relief after all those endless days of polls and analyses [...]

ATTN LGBT VOTERS: Barack Obama Is a Triangulating Homophobe »

How else does one explain the following?
Obama told MTV he believes marriage is “between a man and a woman” and that he is “not in favor of gay marriage.”
At the same time, Obama reiterated his opposition to Proposition 8, the California ballot measure which would eliminate a right to same-sex marriage that the state’s [...]

if it’s not hate, what is it? »

I read this article, Sarah Palin’s a Brainiac, and I wanted to share it, because I really liked it. Trying to do a write up about it, I kind of veered somewhere I didn’t intend to go. Once I start writing, I never know where I wll end up….
The writer, Elaine Lafferty, was discussing this [...]

The Secrets of Capt. Fumio Nakahira Or Why I’m Leaving the Democratic Party but Keeping my Principles »

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” — Elie Wiesel
It’s clear to many Democrats that a radical clique has taken control of the Party. Democratic ideals once held to be sacrosanct, including [...]

(UPDATED) A Dangerous Mixture of Lies and Omissions: Obama, Ayers, Wright and Farrakhan »

[This essay was originally published in June and titled The Birth of Whitey: Black Liberation Theology and The Nation of Islam. This piece was written by Medusa and Bud White]

The recent, reluctantly released papers from Obama’s time as head at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) and his time on the board of the Woods Fund [...]

“Unleashed, Palin Makes a Pit Bull Look Tame” »

Sarah Palin has become my new hero. While I don’t agree with some of her political positions, I love that she is unapologetically herself. And she is a REAL feminist, representing many of us who don’t toe the line of some definition of what that is. The so-called “progressives,” men and women alike, don’t [...]

Anglachel: No Comment »

January 19, 2008:
The Obama campaign has had a deliberate strategy of calling the Clinton campaign racist and the media has allowed itself to be led along. Obama himself confessed to this strategy in the Nevada debate when shown a copy of a campaign memo directing campaign workers to use race-bating to defame Hillary Clinton.
January 27, [...]

Barack Obama’s Compulsively Repeated Gay Bashing Risks the Loss of A Key Voting Block »

Obama never had the support of the LGBT community. Indeed, 63% of LGBT Democrats supported Hillary Clinton during the California primary, while a paltry 29% cast their votes for Barack Obama. I imagine LGBT support for Clinton was equally strong in other states, for according to a poll conducted last November, this constituency [...]
