The GOP and Tea Partiers: Dumb as dirt and as dangerous as a mudslide
SHARE More Sharing
These are not good people. Good people try to find some way to help others, to see whether they can make this passage through life as bearable as possible. These are not good people. These are stupid people. And they're dangerous.

The Republican Party's reincarnation of the 40th president as a towering hero is not the least different from the way Hollywood producers reincarnated Jesse James as a folk hero worthy of admiration.

Passing quietly in the face of a threat to American hard-won rights just is not an American thing to do. An entire multitude might decide to pass quietly, to not make waves, to let it pass, but such are US citizens only, not Americans.

"I want to tell you, from experience, that you are contributing to the deaths of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines." The ONLY ones who contributed to the deaths . . . are those who pulled the polling booth lever or punched the card on behalf of the delusional candidate who sent them, again, and again, and again, and . . .

McCain's voting record (with attribution) - disdain for children and veterans
SHARE More Sharing
One would anticipate that, as a veteran, one of the planks he would stand front and center on would be support of those in our military, especially those who have borne the burden of the battle. Let's open his voting record, just to find out.

Americans are as likely to believe in flying saucers as in evolution. Depending on how the questions are asked, roughly 30 to 40 percent of Americans believe in each. A 34-nation study found Americans less likely to believe in evolution than citizens of any of the countries polled except Turkey.

I'd like to introduce you to my son, Chris. This May, he will turn 20. He's taking a full college load in San Jose, he works full time for AT&T, and he's well informed about what's going on in the world; who the players are, what they've done, and what they're saying. Follows this intro is his reply to my earlier posting: "The hard-Right's latest push-poll survey."

But now I learn that KTPR in Cathedral City is succumbing to the Rightwing steam roller's efforts to silence any voice that does not echo its own. KTPR is to be no more. Its departure will leave only the viscerally deprecating orations and perorations of Rush and Sean and Bill and Laura and both Michaels to be heard, and in a short time, few will ever be the wiser.

The 'Facts,' not revision myth on Ronald Reagan
SHARE More Sharing
I've received two 'comments' attempting to support the proposition that indeed our 40th president was our "Most beloved president." Follows are the FACTS, those "stubborn things" Ronnie liked to never permit to get in his way of make believe. Please, also observe I've included attribution, with direct linkage. As Yogi said, "You can look it up."
