Two ways to know what conservatives are planning
From valarltd.livejournal.com 1) Listen to them. They’ll tell you everything. Just don’t write it off as “humor” or “you know he’s not serious” or “it’s an elaborate hoax.” Just because you don’t believe it, doesn’t mean legions of true believers out there don’t. Number 2 is “Look at what they accuse liberals of doing.” Prescient.
If you are going to steal from the US Treasury…
…GO BIGTIME!! That is what Republicans must think. Because they get into an ugly snit if they think some poor bastard might get something from the government that they don’t deserve, but when 19,000 wealthy Americans rip-off the treasury to the tune of $20 billion in unpaid taxes – that doesn’t merit a passing mention.
Legalizing Marijuana More Popular Than Republicans
And, apparently, more popular than than Republican policies, too — Chris Bowers does the work (see Open Left for links to where the polling comes from): It should also be noted that, at 40-41% (ed. note: Rasmussen and CBS polls respectively) support, legalizing marijuana is more popular than all of the following: * Opposing stricter […]
Jindal to Louisiana: Drop Dead
Would-be President Bobby Jindal has rejected $100 million in Federal unemployment assistance to Louisiana. Using classic Rethug logic, he argues that accepting the aid now could lead to an increased tax on business down the road. Of course, this is demonstrably untrue. From the article: “Today, however, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal announced his intention to […]
Don’t Even Think About Bailing Out These People
…not only couldn’t they even begin to pay back what they owe their fellow citizens for the BushCo disaster; but are you really going to employ somebody with that kind of failure on their resume? See here: “This is not a great time for anyone to be job hunting, including numerous former political appointees,” said […]
RNC Talking Point Smackdown
Predictably, Dave Burris trots out the lame RNC talking points about Obama’s first month. (Spoiler Alter: Obama Wrecked the Stock Market!) Tommywonk smacks down that weak stuff. Note to Dave: “I was talking about the Fed” is worth a try again. But on a deeper level, maybe you should think about the fact that RNC talking […]
Chicken POT PIE!
DD just did a great job explaining why we fight from a strategic perspective. For me, and maybe others, there is also a personal element that explains why we need to stay on constant guard against right-wing greed and stupidity, and why when we do it might sound “shrill” to the uninformed. To explain it […]
Why We are “Shrill.”
Some say that we here at Delaware Liberal need to be reminded that we won the election. For it seems that since the election, we have been nothing but “shrill” and angry, almost as if we lost. Well, first, we didn’t win the election. Barack Obama and Joe Biden won the election. We played our […]
A Worrying Thought
I worry too much. I always have. In fact, I have wasted countless hours worrying. Now, granted, this behavior intensified when I had children. And if there was a contest for turning every sharp, hot, and moving object into a potential deathtrap I surely would have taken first place. Paddle fans and coffee table corners […]
