    Phyllis Schlafly dead at 92

    It's not easy for a wife to "cry rape" afterwards. There is a world of difference between kinky play between a husband and wife and a husband who thinks he owns his wife's body and uses it even when she emphatically says, "no!"

    Phyllis Schlafly dead at 92

    She was a vile person whose family couldn't stand her. Her views resonated with only the utmost fringe element of the Christian right. It's like saying we should be respectful in death of Fred Phelps. It has nothing to do with her being a conservative and everything to do with what she stood...

    Phyllis Schlafly dead at 92

    Can't say that I'm sorry. A pearl necklace and perfectly coiffed hair didn't make her any less vile. Her own family couldn't stand her.

    A New Slant on Voting Third Party

    It's interesting to read the NY Times data published today. Out of every single American, if you include people ineligible to vote, eligible people who don't ever vote, people who vote in general elections, but not the primaries, and those who voted in the primary election - only 9% of the...

    Is Hillary Clinton

    It depends on who you ask. If you have a fetish for centrism, then more of the same is great and you would probably be comfortable with another party elite moderate. For those who fall either on the far-left or far-right end of the spectrum, maintaining the status quo is not within our...

    But there were some districts in which his name was not added to the ballot in the primaries and there were uncounted ballots in California. Primaries aren't really decided by popular vote anyway. It's about delegate pledges, and the leaked emails show there was a lot of strongarming within the...

    Because they are afraid of him. Either that or they assume paralyzing the disgruntled Sanders base with fear of a Trump dictatorship would make us forget what happened at the DNC and pledge allegiance to Hillary.

    The backdoor efforts to sabotage Sanders' campaign and then having HRC hire a disgraced DWS as her campaign chair should be the most damning evidence of all, but people are so paralyzed by their fear of Trump they choose to look the other way.

    Is Hillary Clinton

    Full disclosure, I'm coming from the position of someone who has never been a fan of Hillary Clinton. I thought she was too fussy, too weak, and too right-leaning moderate to be my choice for POTUS when she ran against Obama in '08, and my position has not changed just because "OHMYGOSH...

    A toddler got meningitis. His anti-vac parents gave him an herbal remedy. The toddler died...

    Possible side-effects are always available, upon request, in printed literature given freely at the time vaccines are administered. The problem is that some anti-vaxxers think their junk science should be discussed by medical professionals, like fabled links to autism and childhood cancers...

    Donald Trump Full Interview Jake Tapper : Bernie Sanders is Sending Protesters To My Rally

    Bless Trump's cold, tiny heart. He thinks Bernie Sanders has enough time on his hands to organize a bunch of agitators and get them to disrupt his rallies. That man in Dayton wasn't looking to hurt him. While his actions were foolish, he was trying to make the point, and he did so quite well...

    Trump supporters, protesters clash after Chicago rally postponed

    Perhaps it would behoove minorities (from all categories, not just racial minorities) to understand that, for the most part, the GOP is not interested in representing them as people. Same with women. The GOP seeks to restrict a woman's medical decisions and is frequently guilty of trying to lay...

    Trump supporters, protesters clash after Chicago rally postponed

    They're not tokens because their opinions differ from my own. I, personally, don't care who people of color vote for. For many white folks on the right, they are tokens. Just like Hispanics aren't good enough to be allowed on this side of Donald Trump's fabled wall...unless they're cleaning his...

    SXSW Apologizes for Asking U.S. Olympian Ibtihaj Muhammad to Remove Hijab

    A hijab has nothing to do with lunacy or terrorism. Just because some terrorists have worn the hijab, doesn't mean none should be allowed to or that wearing one poses a security risk. Second, this is not formal policy of SXSW. It's already been determined that a volunteer was being a jerk about...
