We Serve It, Even When It's Hard To Swallow
It really is kind of disturbing to think that Newt Gingrich is sitting atop the polls in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, because he’s just…bad. He’s ill-tempered, mean-spirited, self-serving, self-aggrandizing, and every word that comes crawling out of his mouth just oozes with contempt and dickishness.
The CWA opposes gay rights, comprehensive sex education, drug and alcohol education, and feminism. It touts “pro-life” and “pro-family” values. A few days ago, Concerned Women for America posted a video (below0 with Crouse rattling off a litany of statistics about the gay community’s threat to traditional marriage. Janice’s God only knows where she got the statistics she presented in the video. I’ve tried to find them prior to writing this rebuttal without much luck.
Anonymous message to Wall Street: “We have changed the rules of the game. Growth of the magnitude required to maintain your capital in its present form is no longer possible for you. Your ability to seduce the public has been destroyed. Your survival has long depended on your capacity to suppress the truth of your abuses, and that ability is now gone. We have removed it.”
Does this list speak of a leader who strives for virtue in everything he does? Does it speak of preserving justice and working for the good of the whole? Does it speak of one who is sympathetic to the misfortunes of others? Where, in this legacy, do we find a “greatness of soul”? I can’t find it.
Jon Stewart and John Oliver spar in the latest edition of The Daily Show’s “Indecsion 2012,” taking on the ABC News Iowa Debate and Mitt Romney’s $10,000.00 bet. Oliver encourages Mitt Romney to use his enormous wealth to finish Rick Perry once and for all.
In their minds, the constant onslaught of Christmas imagery, programming and commercials during the months of November and December is simply not good enough; the salutation of “Happy Holidays” is a slap in the face to their sweet Baby Jesus and an insult to their religion, because, according to them, it’s their world, we’re just living in it.
Veteran impersonator and Saturday Night Live cast member Darrell Hammond returned to the weekly variety show last night to reprise his spot-on impersonation of bloated billionaire Donald Trump in a spoof on Fox News and Greta Van Susteren, brilliantly played by Kristen Wiig.
“You’ve benefitted from hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars every year, so would you be willing to pee into this cup to prove to Florida taxpayers that you’re not on drugs, that you’re not using that money for drugs?”
Fox News has begun it’s annual fear fest over a non-existent “war on Christmas” by those godless liberals, using the most ridiculous examples to frighten their misinformed audience that everyone but Republicans are out to kill Santa, stomp on baby Jesus, and ruin the holidays for everyone else. Jon Stewart took the airwaves on Tuesday to mock and debunk the anti-Christmas propaganda…
This is the defining issue of our time. This is a make or break moment for the middle class, and all those who are fighting to get into the middle class. At stake is whether this will be a country where working people can earn enough to raise a family, build a modest savings, own a home, and secure their retirement.
Newter and Trump emerged from their private meeting today to speak to reporters. While Donald and his hair looked on, Gingrich attempted to defend his support of the December 27 Newsmax/Ion GOP debate that Trump is moderating…
The only consistent element in Mitt Romney’s entire political career is his willingness to say whatever he thinks he needs to say in order to win. He believes elections serve one purpose: to give him the opportunity to gain power. Given that mindset, of course he has a campaign team that believes honesty is irrelevant to political communication.
I love it when political candidates are forced to handle real questions from an informed citizen. That’s just what 16-year-old Jane Schmidt did to Michele Bachmann during a campaign stop this past week when she asked the candidate what she would do to support “LGBT rights.”
Poor Mittens. He can remain calm and cool as long as no one is calling for accountability. The moment the spotlight turns on Romney to answer for his record, he sweats and becomes extremely argumentative and unpredictable.
Billionaire businessman Richard Branson, founder and chairman of the Virgin Group, calls the Occupy Wall Street movement a “good start,” and says the powers that be (financial and business community) need to take the next step and do the right thing by showing “the way”…
