Dear Franklin Graham: Your father once remarked, 'Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion; it is like a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.' Your Tuesday Morning Joe appearance, other than demonstrating that you are not your father, was unsettling at best.
Those who insist that LGBT people can and should change, are the people who really need be re-programmed
If you have been listening to the ideas of the Religious Right, especially over the latest Republican primary campaigns, you will see a large push against the gay community. The idea is that things like military service, marriage, and many other 'luxuries' of life are not inalienable rights, by definitionn. Instead, they...
There are at least three reasons why supporters of access to contraception should be terrified of a Santorum Presidency:
Just how far out of the mainstream is the GOP as they fight the evils of contraception? They’re to the right of a white Christian woman from eastern Kentucky in 1972.
Throughout history, empires have come and gone. What we are witnessing today is the end of the American Empire.
Gay people have been accused of being unfit parents, more likely to be pedophiles, unable to sustain lasting relationships, and worse. But research shows these and other myths just aren't based in fact.
There are things one must believe in order to be a conservative and most of these things make no sense whatsoever. Here's a few of the more glaring contradictions.
According to Santorum, 45 million Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists, Episcopalians, Congregationalists, and many Americans who belong to other sects of Protestantism are no longer real Christians.
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.
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...
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.
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.
Hear it? That’s the sound of the air escaping from the Republican balloon. The news that the economy netted 243,000 jobs in January dropping the unemployment rate to 8.3 percent
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.
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
The private share of payrolls under President Obama rises a bit above the private share under President Reagan. So if President Obama was a socialist as alleged, that'd make President Reagan a socialist
There is no more frightening word in the American English lexicon than the word ‘socialism.’ Socialism destroys freedom. Under a socialist system, all color will be drained from life. Individuality will be lost and creativity will be squashed. Life will be unrecognizable. Well, at least that’s what we are told.
The commercial intertwines footage of Gov. Brewer's disastrous debate performance in the 2010 elections with an overview of how the GOP is attacking workers in the state.
A day after Mitt "Moneybags" Romney stated his lack of concern for the economically disadvantaged (an old school Republican touchstone), President Obama shot back by finally using the right-wing's bullets against them.
Here are a few good progressive stories from the past few weeks that we'd like to briefly highlight.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
A Republican lawmaker, like Republican lawmakers in many other states, introduced a bill requiring mandatory drug testing of welfare recipients. The bill was withdrawn after Democrats amended the bill to cover lawmakers as well as welfare recipients.
When was the last time you heard anyone talk about 'shared sacrifice' and 'austerity?' Exactly.
I had the pleasure of chatting with the writer and director of The Last War Crime, The Pen, and he had some very startling things to say about his fight with Viacom and Youtube over the promotion of this film.
Rabble-rouser, Community organizer. Champion of the poor and down-trodden. Anti-establishment radical. Yeah, the Right feared him for a reason.
While there is probably no video compilation that could cover the entire breadth of comments by the 'blame yourself' party, for now, this will have to do.
A loving family is a loving family even if the parents are the same sex. If only the Religious Right understood that.
Since the beginning of the Republican primary season, one fact has remained steady, it's Mitt Romney's to lose. That's not saying he'll absolutely win. There's a chance that as more and more is revealed about Mittens Antoinette, voters will look elsewhere, but that's far more likely to happen in the general election than in...
Why is it that food and clothing for the poor is 'wasteful spending' but needlessly invading other countries on the other side of the world is considered 'vital to National defense?'
I am in favor of the Rosemont Copper open-pit mine because despite the incomplete environmental impact draft study by the U.S. Forest Service, I am sure that we can trust corporations to do what is best for the people in the region.
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...
You might be a conservative if you believe any of the things on this list. A humorous, albeit realistic look at how conservatives think.
One of the most outlandish conservative arguments we've heard over the past few years is that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. should somehow be considered a conservative.
I read an article recently, which compared the origins of the Occupy Wall Street movement to the origins of the Tea Party movement. As someone who has paid attention to both movements, I believe nothing could be further from the truth. Below are just 15 differences between the Occupy Wall Street protests, and...
I’ve noticed over the years, there are some fundamental differences in the way Republican and Democratic politicians think. Here are just 15 examples.
Here are 31 quotes that prove how ignorant, fanatical, heartless, and dangerous Rick Santorum is.
In honor of the GOP's idol, President Reagan, lets take a look at the effect of his tax cuts for the top marginal rate. When we looked at the course of the past 80 years as a set, it looks as if there isn't a particularly clear correlation between top marginal tax rates and...
Addicting Info posted an article several months ago regarding Ron Paul and his ties to white supremacy, and we were barraged with pleas and 'stories' to win us over. In honor of Ron Paul's obsessive fans we're publishing the following article, showing his history of discrimination.
Incredibly naive progressives who like Ron Paul’s 'libertarian' views on such matters as drugs and personal freedoms, overlook the obvious fact that his perspective is not the by-product of some refreshingly, enlightened intellectual perspective.
The legislative ban on ethnic studies classes in Arizona high schools was upheld in Administrative court in Phoenix, AZ in December by judge Lewis D. Kowal of the Arizona Office of Administrative Hearings. More accurately, the ban on Mexican-American studies in Tucson has been upheld.
There are a couple of old sayings that come to mind when one thinks about the current rise of presidential candidate Rick Santorum. One saying proclaims that every dog will have its day, and the other saying proclaims that even a blind hog can manage to serendipitously stumble across an unoccupied, slop bucket every...
With the inane clown posse Republican Iowa Caucus and State-wide primaries right around the corner, we can unequivocally expect a tsunami of phenomenally, breathtakingly moronic things to said (especially if Bachmann makes it through Iowa). But in the mean time, it's important to look back and reflect on some of the phenomenally, breathtakingly moronic...
Is the Tea Party a haven for uneducated, gone to seed, white racists? Watch the video and decide for yourself.
Republicans are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth as if it was the birth of their savior, rewriting the history of failed 'Trickle Down' policies that have turned the once vibrant American middle class into economically insecure Serfs.
The death penalty is clearly not a perfect method for exacting justice. So long as it is a human institution it will never be perfect and innocent men and women will inevitably become victims of it.
So, W gets his Tax cuts and TWO WARS so he should have had gangbuster job growth right? After all Republicans tell us that FDR didn't get us out of the Depression. It was WWII. Well hell, W had two wars with TRILLIONS being expended so it only follows that he would get that...
Desperate to turn the political discussion away from economic issues they cannot win on, Republican Presidential candidates have latched onto the claim that Islamic Shariah law is somehow overtaking the US.
The Congress hit a new high on the gridlock scale on how best to fund the extension. First, the GOP controlled House of Representatives passed legislation that would extend the payroll tax cut one year. However, Speaker Boehner and his crew did so by attaching a host of unrelated initiatives, including the 1700 mile...
At a recent campaign stop in Pella, Iowa, presidential candidate Rick Santorum (R - PA) made special note of his (and the majority of his party’s) views on economic reform as relevant to today’s socio-economic upheavals.
Lately, I keep hearing rumblings from conservatives referencing the words 'under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance. It seems everyone is up in arms over the idea that these words (added in 1954, some sixty-two years after the first publishing of the pledge) are somehow being removed or overlooked.
The Republican Party have two options to go up against President Obama: Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney. When the Republican voters go out to the polls at the beginning of the year the majority of them will vote for a person who has a background that these voters blasted years ago.
Oh, the screaming and crying and gnashing of teeth at the pricetag for the Obama's approximately $4.1 million Hawaii vacation. You really gotta hand it to The Huffington Post, and its founder, politically schizophrenic Arianna Huffington who hasn't quite figured out what she wants to be when she grows up.
Showing how out of touch they are with everyday Americans, conservatives have latched onto the news that the share of national income taken in by the top 1% fell from 23% in 2007 to 'only' 17% in 2009 to contend that the focus of Occupy Wall Street and others on economic inequality is somehow...
Christopher Hitchens, the celebrated journalist, public intellectual, outspoken atheist, and Johnny Walker Black aficionado-- a man of varying political complexities but who relentlessly, brutally derided anyone who sought to manipulated or flouted logic and reason--sadly passed away this past Thursday at 62 after suffering from esophageal cancer.
I wish I could feel good about the National Defense Authorization Act, which is heading to the President's desk. I can't. On the other hand, there is a whole lot of hyperbole swirling around the internet, from even typically reasonable sources.
If you believe, as many Republicans seem to, that those out of work are simply not working hard enough to find a job, then you're going to view the unemployed with contempt. And why would you agree to assist those you hold in contempt?
After watching this latest Republican Debate on Fox News, one thing becomes clear, and that is the very real split between the insane and the reasonable
The unemployed are lazy - Your Fox News watching Father-in- Law/Uncle/Cousin/Sister knows that because (s)he personally knows of a guy that has a job opening and can't find a single qualified person.
Christmas is a time where Fox News and right-wing christofascists take time out of their hating the middle class, poor, and gays schedules and feign outrage over a supposed sinister 'War on Christmas' being waged by godless liberals. It's a joyous occasion!
Last week, Republican leaders in the House of Representatives unveiled new legislation that would eliminate 40 weeks (10 months, or a reduction from 73 to 33 weeks) from the duration of currently-offered federal unemployment benefits while allowing states to mandate drug testing for recipients of said benefits as a means of eligibility screening.
Those conservatives say the darnedest things, and unfortunately for the connoisseurs of common sense, they actually believe in much of their outlandishness. So, prepare to go where no grain of reason has dared to go before, as you will now take a trip into the mind of a conservative.
Transparency International reports that the United States now ranks the 24th least corrupt on a "corruption perceptions index," and only the fourth least corrupt in the western hemisphere. When Bill Clinton was president, we were the third least corrupt globally. That is a huge tumble.
The Republican brand is truly unrecognizable, it is definitely gone...dead. It can never come back. It used to be a party that had meaning to the American people, to the American landscape and to the American future. This party has been changed, undermined from within--allowed to surf the wave of its own greed, arrogance...
The GOP been on a decade-long effort to reduce and restrict voting, especially among the poor, young people, people of color, and other Democratic-leaning groups.
In the United States, we have divided the political landscape into liberal versus conservative for too long. These terms only serve to divide us and stereotype each other and this infighting only benefits the ruling classes.
This country has hardly ever been so divided, particularly on so many issues. And this has, most unfortunately, led to a great number of US citizens becoming either entirely apathetic, or loath to the very idea of partaking in the political 'game' at all.
Republicans have always capitalized on the gullibility and fear of low-information voters. George W. Bush’s 2004 re-election campaign is a prime example.
I was reading the latest on the Leveson inquiry, which is the British investigation into the sometimes horrible excesses of Britain's tabloid newspaper culture. Front and center in the investigation, headed by Lord Justice Leveson, is an examination of how much damage was done to individuals who were spied upon and betrayed by the...
For half a century – from the depths of the Great Depression until the rise of Ronald Reagan – the U.S. government invested in building the nation and funding key research. And the country flourished. But Reagan then reversed those priorities.
The President does not represent one religion or one group of Americans. He represents all Americans of every religion. Besides, in each of the last two previous Thanksgivings, President Obama mentioned God. So it really isn't a big deal that he didn't do it this time around. One thing is for certain though. The...
You’d think a thing like FOX couldn’t happen in the United States. Although they’re free to be crazy and free to support the Republican Party, you’d think Americans would be too smart to fall for the made-up outrages, dishonest reporting and relentless appeal to our meaner nature. Unfortunately, many Americans are not as smart...
On Tuesday of Thanksgiving Week 2011, The Hill published an article about how the oft criticized Stimulus, continues to 'fuel' the employment environment. CROOKS AND LIARS took recent CBO information and published a more detailed 'myth killing' article.
Many of us can give thanks for the things we have in our lives, none of which we can take for granted - jobs (for those who have them), having a place to live, a decent meal, a car to drive, heat, running water, electricity, for a supportive and nurturing family or group of...
Outfitted in best-of-tech riot gear against the unarmed “occupiers,” Lt. John Pike of the UC Davis police approached the group of students and began attacking them with peppy spray, forcing them to cover their faces.
He may still win the Republican nomination, but right now it can't be a lot of fun being Mitt Romney. The former governor of Massachusetts has been running for president for about six years now, so it's not like he's waiting to be discovered. Still, he is essentially stuck with a polling ceiling of...
In a time of unprecedented economic quality and unemployment (see Occupy Movements), in which the top one percent control 42 percent of financial wealth while 15 percent of the country is on food stamps and unemployment is still hanging at 9.1 percent.
America's Right-wing, or at least its rank-and-file, fancies itself as patriotic, compassionate, law-abiding citizens upholding the traditional values that built this nation—essentially, they see themselves as the modern-day equivalent to say, Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys. And in one respect, they may be correct.
Conservatives have taken to a new spin on truth, by refashioning definitions of words and terms in order to provoke new connotations. Socialism is now defined as a government take over, Capitalism is now defined as patriotic, and the wealthy are now defined as job creators. But simply redefining these words will...
By trespassing, we are saying that mega-corporate occupation of the power and wealth of this nation is illegitimate. We are here to take our power back and do our best to divest from an economic system that harms us and our fellow citizens
It’s true that this movement is, in part, about handouts, but it’s not the Occupy Wall Street protesters who are seeking handouts.
If audit verification of contribution claims is not required, it is possible to use misleading information to deflect setbacks in a campaign. The campaign is suffering from the ugly prospect of a tarnished candidate who has had past issues with sexual harassment.
Twitter troll and make-believe journalist, Andrew Breitbart--being the right-wing tool that he is--posted a video on his website that claims to be that of a man murdered at Occupy Vermont, even though every other news source including his own has it reported as an apparent suicide.
Many people who oppose the 'Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act., also known as 'Obamacare', say the Founding Fathers wouldn't have wanted the Government to make health insurance mandatory for private employees. This is not true, and is proven by history.
If you’ve listened to Glenn Beck anytime in the past year or two (and who hasn’t?), you’ve no doubt heard him talk about the sinister alliance between three groups, American progressives, labor unions and Muslim extremists. According to Beck, they want to collapse the current society and bring about a worldwide Islamic caliphate...
Had it not been for Perry's Dumb and Dumber moment, surely Herman Cain's name calling of Rep. Nancy Pelosi or Mitt Romney's answer for why people call him a flip flopper would be center stage. For me, though, Cain's name calling is the highlight of the debate (or low-light depending on how you look...
If you have ever found yourself searching for a good reason to continue your support of the Separation of Church and State argument, look no further than the Jonestown-like dynamics of Mississippi’s Initiative 26 proposal--better known as the ‘personhood amendment’--that was thankfully voted down in Mississippi’s most recent election.
