The Democratic Safe House

To conclude that quote " .. or the one." A great line for sure.

I cried when he died in Wrath of Khan, and this time it's for real. No cascading violins, no Admiral Kirk running around the starship, no ship's crew, just a quiet exit (I hope) with his loving family standing by.

He was a gentleman.

He was a gentleman, but a singer? not too bad

Saul Alinsky: The activist who terrifies the right - Salon.com

Here is the root of the right’s suspicion of Alinsky. His goal was giving the dispossessed agency—empowering them to “fight privilege and power, whether it be inherited or acquired.” In Gingrich’s view, by contrast, the “have nots” are fundamentally incapable, responsible for their own fate because of their immorality, indolence and inertia. They will only be uplifted through the discipline of the market. Put poor elementary school children to work to instill in them a work ethic; cut welfare to promote “personal responsibility,” take away food stamps and reduce unemployment benefits so that the jobless are forced to work. The flip side is a call to augment the power of “job creators” by keeping their capital gains and estate taxes low. In this vision, change comes from above, not from below, and wealth whether inherited or acquired is a social good. Gingrich versus Alinsky is not a battle over ideas; it’s about power, who should have it and who should not. That’s why 40 years after his death, the Chicago radical remains on the right’s enemies list.

The Most Anti-Women Assertions At This Year's Conservative Political Gathering | ThinkProgress

Conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham suggested Jeb Bush would win lots of female votes because he allowed his wife to drop tens of thousands of dollars on jewelry.
“Jeb could really explode the gender gap. Women could really turn out in droves for Jeb Bush,” she said. “What woman doesn’t like a man who gives her a blank check at Tiffany’s? Diamonds are a girl’s best friend — that would be a great theme song for Jeb Bush.”

wow. What a shallow picture she is making about women.

Benham brothers’ dad shouts at transgender women using bathrooms: ‘I’d drag that queen right out





This puts a new twist on the title "Drag Queen"!

I read about that incident (assuming it is the same one).

Just FYI, they weren't harassing Drag Queens, but if it is the same story, they did decide to confront a 17 year old trans girl, calling her a pervert while they apparently studied everyone who went into the women's bathroom. Fine upstanding citizens.

Regardless of the jerks in the story, I found the play on words funny, that's all...and apologies to anybody I may have offended....

I just wanted to clarify that. I read that story last night and I find the harassment appalling, especially toward a child.

We agree they were jerks, so let's just carry on.

I just don't see even a drop of logic in that. However much money Jeb Bush spends on his wife, how does that affect me? I don't sell jewelry, and I'm not going to benefit from Mrs. Bush wearing jewelry, so ... I guess that this writer thinks that women are idiots.

Stupid comment of the day:

homosexuality is a choice because many people "go into prison straight -- and when they come out, they're gay."

That is a very good question!

Perhaps this will be the highlight of his talks with children....

Kiddies, be good and stay out of jail or else you will turn gay, because you will want to.

I like it when people say these ludicrous things. It makes deciding who to not vote for so much easier.

update to the stupid comment of the day:

"I simply have decided I’m not going to really talk about that issue anymore,"

We can only hope he can do this.
