Advertisers Throw Limbaugh Under the Bus

Advertisers Throw Limbaugh Under the Bus

For many years  ultra-conservative and self-proclaimed prophet, Rush Limbaugh, has gained great popularity and a huge national radio audience by preaching a particularly divisive brand of extremist, right-wing dogma.  By claiming an almost “Messianic” understanding of the truth, and using a highly inflammatory language, Limbaugh has managed to convince his listeners over the years of his near omniscience on political …

Bachmann Thrown Under Bus by Conservative Group

Bachmann Thrown Under Bus by  Conservative Group

In the world of Republican politics, there is no lack of conservative groups and media personalities  dedicated to enforcing “party doctrine”, and to controlling the purity of conservative thought.  Any Republican who is aspiring to win a seat in Congress knows full well that his/her every word and phrase will be parsed by the “Dr. Goebbels” of Republican Party purity, …

GOP Polls Show That Mitt Romney is “Toast”

GOP Polls Show That Mitt Romney is “Toast”

There is nothing quite as amusing as watching the Republicans “eat their own young” in public .  After all, it was only a few weeks ago that ex-governor Mitt Romney was leading in his Party’s polls, well ahead of the ultra-conservative Tea Party wackos, such as Bachmann,  Santorum, Gingrich and Cain.  At that time, it seemed as if the Republican Party …

Save the EPA, and Ditch the Republicans

Save the EPA, and Ditch the Republicans

There are times when it seems like the Republican Party is going out of it’s way to come up with  presidential candidates who take positions  that are completely contrary to basic American values, and totally extreme in their political orientation.   One of the  recent targets of the right-wingers is the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA.  As a child growing up …

Oh No; Its Rick (George Bush) Perry On The Loose

Oh No; Its Rick (George Bush) Perry On The Loose

You better watch out, America!  Another conservative Texan has his eyes on the White House, and he’s looking a whole lot like George W. Bush.  The latest Republican rendition of  “Musical Chairs” now has Texas Governor Rick Perry elbowing out some of the weaker competitors.  In a flurry of Texas bravado, Governor Perry announced his candidacy for his party’s nomination …

Tea Party Wages War Against the Middle Class

Tea Party Wages War Against the Middle Class

Last Monday, during his address to the American people, President Obama expressed his deep frustration that a small band of ultra-conservatives (i.e. the Tea Party) could prevent the passage of a bill to raise the U.S. debt limit ceiling.   In spite of the dire economic consequences of failing to take action, the Republican Party is prepared to let the U.S. …

Global Warming : Mayhem Yet to Come

Image via Wikipedia

The Winter season only started two days ago,  but don’t try to tell that to the millions of  folks living in the Northern regions of   Europe,  North America and Asia who are buried neck-deep in snow.   It seems as if  Mother Nature is intent on reminding the people of the Planet  Earth that global warming has certainly …

Rush Limbaugh Is a Turkey!

Rush Limbaugh Is a Turkey!

I am reaching out to Limbaugh to disband his demented thought-processing and to look at the world, particularly politics, through a lens of veracity rather than twisted words. While it is true that our country faces many issues, we do not need them to be twisted into Limbaugh land.

Tea Baggers and Palin: This Democrat Welcomes Them

Tea Baggers and Palin: This Democrat Welcomes Them

Well, golly gee, I just can’t think of anything that would please my blue blood as a Democrat as much as Sarah Palin splitting the Conservatives  in two and having herself a grand ol’ Tea Party in the next Presidential election. I am certain that Republicans are all in a dither about this possibility, while we Democrats say, “Bring it …

Obama and The Age of Enlightenment

Obama and The Age of Enlightenment

We must not allow latent racism to put our country into a backward mode. The Age of Enlightenment called upon individuals to freely use their own intelligence. Intellect must surmount prejudicial attitudes toward any given population. “This is our time,” Obama has said and he is correct. This is our moment to move forward and to learn from our failures.
