we need to focus our anger on gutless state legislators who talk tough and pass stupid and dangerous laws against women, against public safety, against science and education, against regulation and voting rights, against common sense and reason ...

The Faux Outrage of Greta Van Sufferance
So, as we listen to the bigotry -- against undocumented workers that WASP businesses hire, against American and Canadian Muslims, against Arab-American immigrants -- don't you doubt that the second Klan would have been right there with the teabaggers and the reichties.
Why the Right is Full of Shite
Anthony Weiner's only sin was that he stood up to bullies LIKE Breitbart, who had to find some sleazy way to destroy him outside the boundaries of civil discourse or debate, and succeeded, hoping to (along with morons like Mr. Roth) destroy his marriage as well.

I don’t mind receiving Christmas cards or being wished a “Merry Christmas” from friends, clerks, or even in junk mail trying to sell me something no sane person should ever buy. My wife and I even send Christmas cards, with messages of peace and joy, to our friends who are Christians or who we don’t know their religion. I like Christmas music and Christmas carolers, even if some have voices that crack now...
