A Discussion on Race »

In March of 2008, the Jeremiah Wright tapes hit the news, nearly derailing Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.  Obama’s spiritual advisor, the pastor of the church the Obama family had attended for 20 years, was seen on videotape cursing America, among other unsavory things.  But the liberal press quickly circled the wagons and declared it a [...]

Is Nancy Pelosi For Real? »

Nancy Pelosi has come out with another whopper. Honestly, I just do not understand how this woman can be so clueless, but well, she is. She is now claiming that “there is a war on women,” discussing primarily issues related to choice. And of course, this “war” is perpetrated by the Republicans. Really, Rep. Pelosi? [...]

“You’re Either Down, Or You’re Not!” »

“You’re either with us, or you’re not,” so says Dr. Wilmer Leon, a radio talk show host, about Obama and the African American community, in this article by Caroline May in The Daily Caller, “African-American Leaders And Intellectuals Express Dissatisfaction With President Obama.” Oopsie daisy – sounds like another faction unhappy with Dear Leader.

We’ve put both here [...]

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. [...]

Revenge Voting »

I’m going to be blunt: John McCain respects women, Obama does not. This can be taken as a purely political comment from a pro-Hillary activist. But I can say this from the vantage point of male privilege: I know that weak men fear strong women. This didn’t occur to me until McCain selected Palin. I [...]

Why Obama Must Lose: One Progressive’s Opinion »

The Just Say No Deal/PUMA movement is evidence of a deep rift in the Democratic Party, one I believe the polls are not reflecting. Contrary to what the neo-liberals may say, the movement is not comprised of bitter old women — although many are bitter, many are women, and some are perhaps old. Instead, this [...]
