A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to aid the workers of a sub-contractor that Comcast employs. The workers goal was to organize, to have a voice at the workplace and obtain a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). On Election Day the final result was 58 Votes No to 40 Votes Yes, with 12...
Those who insist that LGBT people can and should change, are the people who really need be re-programmed

These days it's extraordinarily difficult for conservative Republicans to suppress their inner self-loathing gay personas.
Ron Paul has fooled a lot of liberals lately. They think that because he is anti-war, that it makes him a liberal. The problem is, Ron Paul is not even close to being a liberal. He is simply an anti-war conservative who wants to rip apart the federal government until it can no longer...
If there are two things that Republicans want us to believe, it would be these: 1. Barack Obama’s economic policies are a failure which made the recession worse. 2. Ronald Reagan was an economic genius who should serve as an example of how to improve the economy.
Unemployment is going down but is still at an unacceptable number. People in this country are hurting. So what are Republicans talking about? Contraception. And women aren't invited to the conversation.
Some good came out of the housing bust and the securitization collapse. Don't get me wrong; I'm not celebrating it. Overall it sucked big time. Lots of good, hardworking people lost their jobs and homes. The bust stuck us with more problems than Rick Santorum would have speaking to a women's rights rally hosted...
Desperate for media attention as always, Palin appeared on Fox & Friends and after fielding the obligatory leading question from Gretchen Carlson, savaged President Obama and his handling of the economy.
We all know at least one person that doesn't know much about history. And we all know that there have been people who have tried to distort history. The Republican Party, however, does both. Over these last two years, Republicans have a made a real effort to distort history as much as possible, to...
In order to help inform people of the difference between the terms 'liberal', 'libertarian', and 'Ron Paul', I’ve made a list of 5 key issues showing the difference between what liberals, libertarians, and Ron Paul believe.
The Tea Partiers insist that they obey the Constitution to the letter of the law and that their radical agenda embodies the Constitutional idea. But study the Constitution and you’ll see that these so-called Constitutional conservatives don’t love the law – they’re trying to distort and rewrite the Constitution to subvert it to their...
For anyone that doesn't support Ron Paul, and has ever tried to talk to his supporters, you've probably realized that they are unaware of all the things they are supporting by endorsing Ron Paul. Here's a list of just 21 reasons someone might be a Ron Paul supporter. Feel free to add your own,...
Since President Obama took the oath of office in January 2009, Republicans have reversed their stances on many different policies and beliefs. Here are 24 of them.
On Tuesday, the Virginia House of Representatives passed two of the most restrictive abortion bills in the country.

While significant progress has been made, much work remains to ensure that all LGBT Americans have the same right and opportunity to marry the person they love that heterosexual Americans have. This Valentine's Day is a great time for all of us to step forward and support the fight for marriage equality.
There is a very commonly held idea in this country, that a successful business is superior to government. We elect business people to office on the idea that they will run the government in a more cost effective manner than someone without business experience.
As a result of the Tea Party Republican’s obstructionism, several bills that could have bettered America have been killed.
Having wealthy people is useful; but we need enough money in the hands of average consumers to support that wealth. Concentrate too much of the available wealth into too few hands and you get less ability to consume which means less effective demand.
Firstly there are some 98% of Catholic women using the pill...and it's not for reasons of birth control. I suspect that less than 20% of women actually use it for that purpose.
To hear Fox News, AM radio and the GOP speak of it, you would not think there is a problem with domestic terrorism in this country
Don’t let anyone fool you about the right of a person to take photographs in a public place; that’s a constitutionally guaranteed right that is protected by the First Amendment. Those who would deny you the right to take picture in a public place, have something to hide.

Tonight's inspirational Super Bowl ad featuring Clint Eastwood on behalf of Chrysler is another in a long line of befuddling artistic and socially conscious choices by the famed filmmaker. You see, Eastwood didn't vote for the man who saved Detroit, he went with the other guy.
The Founding Fathers started from a faulty premise - that serving our country was an honorable job filled by honorable people. They valued democracy so highly it was impossible to conceive of a time when politicians would trample on it for money, power and prestige.
Pyramid schemes, the type that offer no soap, no candles, no kitchen knives, no lingerie, no lipstick, are illegal. Unless, you are talking about our entire economic system.

Miley Cyrus' 'sleazy and disgusting behaviour' makes her unfit as a role model, according to the Culture and Media Institute, a right-wing watchdog group.
What is so inherently difficult about ordering polling data in a logical sequence and reporting on it as a trend? Even in the 21st century, where media even at its most informative is little better than a cartoon for grownups, I think society demands better.
In a country without a legal litmus test for religion, Mitt Romney is finding himself in danger of being cast out of his own party for not being from the 'right' kind of church.
There really is a monster that lives under America's bed. My bed. Your bed. All our damned beds. We've heard a few bumps and creaks in the night, curled up under the covers, and reminded ourselves that we're adults and monsters aren't real. But just when we peak our heads out for reassurance, there...
In the fierce battle between Next Gingrich and Mitt Romney for second place in this year’s presidential campaign, the two top Republicans have become the President’s best aides for his reelection.
When was the last time you heard anyone talk about 'shared sacrifice' and 'austerity?' Exactly.
All of the GOP contenders are so ingrained in their religious beliefs that it has corrupted their thinking processes and their decision-making abilities. All four of them unconsciously approach government policies in a Christian fashion, one of rewards and punishments.
Republicans seem to believe that the biggest problem in our country is our debt. Despite the fact that people die because of lack of healthcare. Despite the fact that people are dying because of lack of food. Despite the fact that people are killing themselves because they don't feel like they can go on...
On Tuesday, four East Haven, Connecticut police officers were arrested by the FBI on charges they had abused illegal immigrants and falsified reports in order to cover for injuries to those immigrants.

What would Romney's annual income mean for the average family? Since most people base their income on an eight-hour work day, 52 weeks a year, that's what I'll assume for Romney. There are 2080 work hours in the average year. That means that Romney earns over $10,096 an hour.
Greed, deceit, hypocrisy, faux faith and bigotry. Yup, Newt Gingrich is the distillation of all that the GOP stands for.
Romney paid a 13.9% tax rate on over $40 million earned through investments in 2010 and 2011, though Romney expects to be paying 15.4% for the 2011 returns. 13.9% is a minuscule number compared to the top rate, which is about 35%. Romney's fortune comes from investments, which Romney doesn't even manage himself. In...
As the 20th century faded and the 21st century emerged, so did the fact that religious diversity could no longer be ignored.
You've heard this from me many times over the years, but both parties are NOT the same, and anyone who says such a thing is not an "expert," no matter how he/she portray themselves.
Republican voters in South Carolina, a state that still celebrates treason by flying the Confederate flag at the state capitol and having Confederate Memorial Day as a state holiday, further besmirched their state's reputation by voting for Newt Gingrich in last Saturday's Republican Presidential primary.
The fact that America’s population is aging is no secret. Baby boomers are growing older and their reproduction rates haven’t kept pace with those of their parents.

Rabble-rouser, Community organizer. Champion of the poor and down-trodden. Anti-establishment radical. Yeah, the Right feared him for a reason.
President Obama often lends his voice to the equality of all individuals, but in the scope of things he has overwhelmingly shown support for the LGBT community. May I please ask the naysayers to look at what has been accomplished in only two years, rather than act as though he hasn't done enough. He...
It’s true, of course, that Mitt wasn’t ever supposed to really win South Carolina. Nor was he supposed to concentrate too many of his resources in a state that was really far too conservative for him to win. But that doesn’t mean he had to make it easy for everyone else.
Newt Gingrich has cheapened the institution of marriage through his behavior, and the people who support Gingrich and allow him to get away with his womanizing, divorces and multiple marriages are damaging the institution even further.

NBC's Chuck Todd, best know as 'not Tim Russert,' criticized Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for their publicized attempts to expose the inequities of post-Citizens United campaign laws.
The appropriately named Newt Gingrich is the political personification of slime. His sociopathic selfishness is the product of blind ambition driven by a reptilian lust for power and revenge.
The Obama Administration today called the GOP's bluff by rejecting the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, a 1,750 mile, $7 billion proposed pipeline that would carry more than 700,000 barrels of crude oil from the boreal forests of the Canadian province of Alberta to the oil refineries of Texas.

This is why we see no real harm in the legions of Paulbots that charge daily like a horde of angry libertarian lawn gnomes onto Facebook, Twitter, every blog ever conceived, and even Youtube. But they’re far from harmless, and debating them plays straight into their hands.
The Building Trades is an organization that is composed of Construction Local Unions such as Electricians, Plumbers & Steamfitters, Sheet Metal Workers, Roofers, Elevator Constructors, Boilermakers, Painters, Carpenters, Operating Engineers, Iron Workers, and etc. They are an organization that advocates the importance of having Project Labor Agreements (PLA’s), a living wage, good education,...

Once the covers have been pulled back from the anti-ethnic narrative of the basic, White-male-dominated-society rhetoric of the Republican Party, it’s easy to see where Republicans like Gingrich are coming from when they make statements about President Obama being a ‘food stamp president’ or the Democratic Party being the party of welfare checks and...
The party system grew from custom, not from something that the Constitution handed to us. It hasn’t served us well.
As Santorum pursues the nomination, it's becoming clear that he is badly out of step wit the average voter.

It turns out, all creationism bills introduced since 2004 are inspired by an amendment drafted and proposed by then Senator and current Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum in 2001.
