Bombs Away: Obama's "War on Religion"
I recently watched an episode of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” in which he played a clip of the Republican candidates speaking about President Obama’s supposed “war on religion”. To say that I was mystified (and not in a good way) would be an understatement. Rick Santorum, our favorite right-wing, psycho conservative believes that Obama is steering America away...

10 Reasons to Not Vote for Ron Paul →
1. Ron Paul does not value equal rights for minorities. Ron Paul has sponsored legislation that would repeal affirmative action, keep the IRS from investigating private schools who may have used race as a factor in denying entrance, thus losing their tax exempt status, would limit the scope of Brown versus Board of Education, and would deny citizenship for those born in the US if their parents...

Also, I didn't blame African Americans, I blame a system in which they are chosen over a white candidate just because of a racial quota. And one last thing: we are all Americans. Red, blue, libertarian, progressive, we all have to deal with similar conditions. And...

bombasticgentleman asked: I love how that Ron Paul disciple is accusing you of divisiveness while blaming his father's job loss on African Americans. Shit. Most of the time when people complain about affirmative action, there aren't even any affirmative action laws present in their state...He's not that bright, is he? Ron Paul, or that other guy.

let-me-hit-that asked: A life that you most likely live as well. My father lost his job to another man simply because that other man was African American and the company paid him less. Same qualifications and everything, but the company needed to fill a quota. I've seen it firsthand. But my main point with this entire thing is that instead of posting divisive shit about how stupid conservatives are, you should try...

I didn't ignore those other listings at all, I throw them in with minority rights. The thing is, you can't take rights away from white males just because they've had them longer than minorities. Every human being has these inherent rights, not just minorities....

The Ron Paul Fallacies →
Of course, your blog is dedicated to smear the GOP, Tea Party, and other right-wing idiots and it’s not like this is a bad thing. But it’s not like the Democrats and Obama are all innocent either, and esp. when I read your answers about Ran Paul, I think only pointing out the bad of the others without the bad of the candidate you support yourself does seem a little half-hearted (it was...
