Soldiers And WORMS »

(bumped up from yesterday)
As some of you know, my mother suffered a stroke recently. I am currently in my home town spending time with her and getting her house in order. As a result, I rushed a recent post on “DADT” I wrote in order to get to the nursing center in a timely [...]

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 [...]

Who Cares About This Killing? »

This was not the murder of a doctor, nor did it have anything to do with the issue of being pro/anti-choice. No, this time it was a young Army private, gunned down outside a military recruiting center in Little Rock, Arkansas, of all places. Another Army private was also shot, but is [...]

Murder Is Murder »

By now, surely you have heard of the death of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas, shot to death in the foyer of the church for which he was acting as an usher. Regardless of how you feel about abortion (and I am pro-choice, though, like Secretary Clinton, I believe abortion should be safe, legal, [...]

NARAL Hypocrite Keenan Gets Her Just Desserts – Railing Against Obama’s DNC Chair »

From NARAL’s website:
Today Governor Kaine [DNC Chair] announced that he will sign SB 817, which authorizes the creation of a “Choose Life” license plate and will funnel thousands of dollars to anti-choice, deceptive “crisis pregnancy centers.” “We are disappointed that Governor Kaine refused to recognize that when faced with an unintended pregnancy, women need [...]

Catholics and Notre Dame WAKE UP!!! It’s Not Just Life … It’s Father Pfleger and God Damn America »

A US Cardinal and several Bishops denounce the University of Notre Dame for inviting Barack Obama to deliver a speech at their commencement ceremonies. They are also pissed off about the Honorary Law Degree to be given to Barack “God Damn AmeriKKKa” Obama. A lot of Catholics are pissed of too, and over [...]

Housing and Responsibility »

President Barack Obama presented an overview of his plans to support the housing market yesterday. Obama highlighted that the government would utilize the following methods to support those homeowners in default or close to foreclosure:

1. Support is only provided to those homeowners occupying the residence. No support for speculators or developers.

Grandma to 8+6 Mom: Enough already »

I think it’s safe to say that many readers of this blog hold pro-choice views. What a woman decides to do with the contents of her uterus should be a private matter between her and her doctor. But one of the most important aspects of being pro-choice is the expectation that the woman [...]

[Hillary's Statement & Update!] Will President Obama Keep His Promise to Women? »

(PatRacimora bumped this up from January 22nd to 23rd, after she updated her post with President Obama’s rescission of the Global Gag Order. I visited State’s “What’s New” page and happened to discover a Friday, January 23rd announcement by Secretary Hillary Clinton Friday on the gag order, published in full below the fold - Susan)

UPDATE: [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I Wonder If Their Heads… »

Really do explode like pumpkins? I’m just asking because of the whole Obama picking Tim Kaine to be the new chair of the DNC thing. See, not only is Kaine anti-choice, but he is also anti-gay. Obama sure does like these homophobes, doesn’t he? He constantly surrounds himself with them, Kaine [...]

So Now How Do You Feel? »

All of the women’s groups who endorsed Obama, all of the women who flocked to him, claiming he was SO great on women’s rights and the best choice on issues of choice? I ask because guess who is going to be taking over the DNC? Tim Kaine. Remember him? Maybe this [...]

Obama Chooses Evangelical Rick Warren to Deliver Inaugural Invocation – or Let’s Watch Some Heads Explode »

CNN’s Alexander Mooney reports in his article Obama’s Inaugural Choice Sparks Outrage:
Prominent liberal groups and gay rights proponents criticized President-elect Barack Obama Wednesday for choosing evangelical pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at the presidential inauguration next month.
Warren, one of the most influential religious leaders in the nation, has championed issues such as a [...]

It Was Only A Matter of Time »

And anyone who thought differently was not paying attention at best, and was horribly naive at worse. Who here remembers how strongly Obama came out against FISA, threatening to filibuster it? Then what did he do? Voted AGAINST his Party to grant the telecom industry immunity. I could go on and [...]

McCain took on The View and came out the winner »

One factor in Obama’s ongoing downfall—or something that may slow his fall—was his refusal this past summer and continued refusal to join McCain in a series of town hall gatherings. Senator McCain showed his strength and presence as he sat with the women of The View last week for what turned out to be [...]

Wade In The Waters »

The issue of Roe v. Wade has been in the news a good bit recently, especially after Senator McCain’s Veep pick, Sarah Palin. As anyone with a pulse knows by now, Sarah Palin is against abortion. She does believe in birth control, and even the Morning After pill, but abortion? No.
This continues to be [...]

“Do You Understand… »

Sadly, the answer from too many people is, “No.” No, they don’t understand the words coming out of my mouth (or in this case, laptop). No matter how many times I have said this: I will not vote for Obama. Ever. See the sidebar on my blog? “NOBAMA.” “I Own My Vote.” “Don’t Blame Me, [...]

On Sawdust And The Democratic Party »

One Half of the famous fowl-mouthed Fowler couple offers an apology. We’re still waiting for one from the other half. You know, her husband Pat Robertson, the guy who thinks a hurricane during the Republican convention was a special gift to him from God.
In an interview posted on the political Web site Politico, Chairwoman Carol [...]
