I recently bought a handgun. I’ve owned guns for the whole of my adolescent and adult life, because I hunt and occasionally shoot some trap for fun. But I never owned a handgun, until now. People like this are the reason I bought my handgun. Fucking CRAZY fucked up white people who think God is that feeling you get Read more

The Greatest Story Ever Sold.

So, this looks like the Branch Dividians thing in about five years, except about 100 times worse. Read more

As Jesus said in the Bible, “Lock and load, motherfuckers!” The chapter/verse escape me at the moment but I’m sure some devout Christian can find it in there somewhere.

Putting a picture above the article of a guy in a Roman collar (associated with Catholic priests and those Protestant ministers who don’t realize their clergy stopped wearing these in favor of full white collars - i.e. Reverend Lovejoy) kind of confuses the issue, since the church is fundamentalist Protestant.

I don’t agree with all of this man’s politics, but I greatly admire his willingness to step up and work for what he believes. Taking public office to effect change from within is an incredible step and I hope he’s able to make the world a better place.

It’s a good thing I don’t spend my time labeling other people with invented terms that reduce them to nice, easy, bite-sized chunks that don’t capture even 1/10th of the complexity of their positions. If I did, then I’d be intellectually dishonest, or Donald Trump! Read more

Except this guy is part of the Sanders wing, which would rather lose to “send a message” than win and get to actually govern.

Our strength is that we’re not authoritarians. We win when we put charismatic people forward who can excite the young while effectively articulating their ideas to the old. We win because people WANT us, as opposed to the GOP, who win when people FEAR change or what they don’t understand.

I get paid £85 every hour from online jobs. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my friend AT is earning £10k /monthly by doing this job and she showed me how. Try it out on following website…O2 Read more

Everyone one the right laughed (and continues to do so) at the phrase ‘community organizer’ because that is where Mr. Obama started. Read more

I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the many great contributions of the Democratic-voting community and their culture to our society. Read more

He learned the wrong lesson from the GOP & the Tea Party. The lesson Dems need to learn is to stick together and vote blue no matter who. Most Repuke voters didn’t want tRump, but once he was nominated they held their noses and voted for him because they wanted SCOTUS, they wanted their agenda, they knew the Read more

Amazing. Great article about an inspirational man.

Been saying this for years. We’ve been letting the Right drag the Overton Window further and further rightwards because we kept compromising. We wouldn’t have Trump if we’d put a stop to that earlier. We wouldn’t have Hillary either (nor Bernie) because we’d have primaried every Democrat who jumped in bed with Wall Read more

But for me, one problem I have with the left is that we compromise too much. Read more
