This is no surprise to anyone. Not only do they hate gays, but they hate gays Obama has hired to work for him. Fox ”News” personalities, followed by other conservative media outlets and gay-bashing organizations, have launched a relentless assault against acknowledged homosexual Kevin Jennings, an official in the Department of Education. At issue, is an episode Jennings recounted in a book (available...

There’s so much stupidity out there in the past couple of days that it is hard to know where to start, but let’s begin with the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision to eliminate Chicago from consideration as a host for the 2016 summer Olympics. As everyone knows by now, President Obama joined his wife and Oprah Winfrey in Copenhagen to lobby the IOC to select Chicago. Because this...

Yesterday, the conservative, often controversial (and even more often debunked) media organization Newsmax published an article by John L. Perry that describes how a coup d’etat against President Obama might occur. Newsmax quickly disowned the article, removing it from its Website and issuing a statement (per Media Matters): In a blog posting to Newsmax John Perry wrote about a coup scenario involving...

I am sure some people who visit this blog question whether I am overreacting or exaggerating the effect of what media groups like Fox “News” have wrought, so I thought I would go dumpster diving in Wingnutville and bring you a few examples of the insane paranoia and hatred that now reins (typos are not mine): sandy says: [A]nything that will get us out from under the mess we are in with Obama works...

Fox “News” and other conservatives are STILL obsessing over this. By now, you have likely heard the whole story. Teachers at a Burlington Township New Jersey public school requested parental permission to have preschool students sing a song that praised President Obama during February’s Black History Month. A teacher recorded the children and, without the school’s permission, posted the...

Normally I post about the purely political, but today I would like to be more personal. I recently spoke with my brother. At some point our conversation drifted to politics and my brother voiced concern that I was “taking it too seriously.” His comment was not the first, I have received a few comments from family members over the last three or four years about their perceptions that I was becoming more...

On Tuesday September 8th President Obama will be speaking to students across the nation on the importance of education. Therefore Obama is clearly attempting to indoctrinate America’s youth to his socialist ideology, at least according to Florida GOP Chairman Jim Greer Part of Greer’s statement reads, “As the father of four children, I am absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being...

According to some parents and the assistant superintendent of Smith-Cotton High School in Missouri, the t-shirt “promotes evolution.” The shirts feature the common graphic of a monkey taking an increasingly more sophisticated form until he resembles a man. The shirt was designed for the band’s “Brass Evolutions,” concert and all the evolutionary figures are holding trumpets. After...

Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times has a tragic story of one couple’s experience with dementia and the healthcare system. The woman’s husband developed early signs of dementia, and the hospital advised her to divorce him because his long-term healthcare would eat up everything they had accumulated together in their life, including her 401K and money left from her first husband’s death....

Self-proclaimed former drug addict and alcoholic Glenn Beck never went to college and completed a degree program, and it is becoming increasingly clear that he is someone who might benefit from additional education. It is not just because he cannot spell O-L-I-G-A-R-C-H-Y (too bad for Beck that chalkboards lack built-in spellcheckers) or that he cannot understand why 46 advertisers have stopped sponsoring his...
