Political News, Progressive Commentary, Liberal Opinions and Common Sense Conversation…

Palin, Religion and Control

Sarah Palin never banned any books from her local library. But she did look into the matter- with the backing of her church- and fired a librarian that was shocked Palin would ask about such a thing (the librarian was rehired after a public outcry). There’s an implication that if there hadn’t been an outcry [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Superwoman Edition

By the time you read this post you will either have recovered from the Palin Speech Drinking Game or had enough Pepto to settle your tummy.  Of course, if you are like me, you probably opted for a refreshing rerun of CSI.
For those of you who prefer your Republican/Conservative news in bite-size portions, today’s Ten [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: We Won’t Get Shafted, Again

You’ve got to give McCain credit.  By welcoming Palin into his campaign, he sure livened things up quite a bit in this election (and no, I’m not referring to you-know-what, unless you know what is a bridge or something).
Truth be told, I don’t blame him for his (apparently) monumental screw-up.  There was not much more [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Coming Out Of The Dark

Finally back from my much needed summer break. Not sure if anyone really missed me, but I have to send a shout-out to all my chicas (and hombres) who had my back while I had my guard down.
Let’s jump right in, to today’s Ten Post Round-Up, why don’t we? The last few days have shed [...]

What the Hell? Sarah Who? An Anti-Choice Creationist? What Scandal In Alaska?

If you are confused by the choice of a person who has very little political experience and no national experience, join the crowd. If you said, “Sarah who? Who the hell is she?” Join the crowd. Let’s flesh out a little bit of history of Sarah Palin.
A former beauty queen ( no kidding), she is [...]

Media Narrative

Is the Media deliberately attacking Democratic candidates and praising Republicans? The Daily Howler says yes.
I am not getting into that mess, but what I do find incredibly interesting is that one can already see a narrative being developed in the media:
- Giuliani: pro-choice candidate, strong on defense, hero, might be impossible to win the nomination
- [...]

Forget About Abortion, There’s A Much Greater Reason to Fear Justice Alito

Some liberals will be much tempted to make Judge Alito’s 1985 comments about abortion the linchpin of their opposition to Alito. Sure Alito should be asked about these comments, but if recent polls are any indication, we appear to be living in a “pro-choice” country. Sure some Dems are hurt by the [...]

Supreme Court Won’t Block Missouri Inmate Abortion

Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court’s land mark decision of 1973 has been debated over and over, and now comes to light again, with the recent nomination of Harriet Miers. If this case, has had no other time to be really looked at, now seems to be the time that it needs to be defended, [...]
