• Republicans Despise Democracy Cos Democracy Despises Them

  Dear Democracy: Hate to break it to ya, but the Republican Party just isn’t “in to” you. It’s a stone cold fact. Republicans don’t like democracy. In their defense, democracy doesn’t like them either. Some people never graduate from the schoolyard. Turns out, that’s a lot of Republicans. Whatever they were on the schoolyard, that’s…

• What Do Conservatives Want To Conserve? The Past

  Maybe the only honest thing your average conservative ever does is call him or herself “conservative”. Conservatives, by nature, want to conserve (although, ironically, one of the things most conservatives don’t want to conserve IS Nature but never mind!). The only important question, really, is what do conservatives want to conserve? The answer? Conservatives want…

• Judge Aileen Cannon Makes Mitch McConnell Smile

  When history finally judges us and this particular patch of time, Mitch McConnell will be of our uber villains. Mitch personally destroyed our government’s judicial branch – an act of total betrayal. I bet “Mitch McConnell’s” name will replace “Benedict Arnold’s” as the epithet Americans use when they want to call someone a “traitor”. Make…

• Vladimir Putin Wants To Live In The Past; So Does Every Single Republican

  Regardless of whatever political system he grew up in, Vladimir Putin is the poster boy for conservatism. Communism may fit on the left side of the political spectrum but its execution never smacks of progressive values. I betcha that never in his life did Vlad Putin ever embrace communism like a faith. The only thing…

• Show Me A Republican, I’ll Show You A Koch Whore

  Here’s a dirty, little secret: having money doesn’t make you smarter than anyone — even if your money bought you a first class education. Harvard and Yale graduate plenty of morons — most of them white — who got in on the strength of their name and connections, got graded on a curve because of…

• Who Is Directly Responsible For The Shit-Show We’re In? THESE Guys…

  While the whole world is now laser-focused on surviving Covid-19, it’s important to remember that this pandemic isn’t isolated. Yes, the original vector — whether from a live animal market in China or from bat guano that migrated from shoes to hands in a Chinese cave — would have presented regardless. But what happened afterwards…

• WE Think Republicans Are Putting On A Crime; THEY Think They’re Putting On A “Show”

  It’s the movie buff in me. I see classic movies playing out in real life all the time.  It struck me this morning that we’re staring at a perverse version of Babes In Arms, the Judy Garland-Mickey Rooney-MGM collaboration that gave us “Hey, Let’s Put On A Show!” Here – sample this… See what I…

• Can We Be Honest? “Conservative Thinking” Is An Oxymoron

  I’m a proud Progressive. I prefer the term “progressive” to “liberal” because the word liberal has gone through too many gyrations over time to be effective as an accurate descriptor. “I’m a liberal” could mean a whole lot of things that “I’m actually not”. Progressives, as the name implies, want to progress. We want to…

• The Republican Dream: TWO AMERICAS

  Clarity. Ya have to give the Republican Party full bonus points for having ‘Clarity’.  They know EXACTLY the ‘kind of America’ they want our country to be.  Too bad it’s 1850 America. The republican party aspires to live in a White, Christian, Male Dominated World. Demographics do not line up with that world any more.  They…
