Indoctrinate them well and let them leads the way…    

…what’s the rationale for defending the antiquated need to tolerate HATE when what you could be doing is protecting the civil rights of those under attack by the haters? — Who for the most part are non-Muslim white Christians.  And conservatives, whose latent domestic terror proclivities hang threateningly over a compassionate nation dedicated to social justice and multiculturalism. The First Amendment isn’t absolute, after all, and if you push for

To put this in perspective, adults — presumably sanctimonious, rule-humping, zero-tolerance drones over the age of consent and capable of voting, buying alcohol, and legitimately purchasing and downloading porn — berated and questioned for two hours, before administering punishment that called for mandatory removal from school for 10 days — someone who likely has Mater or Buzz Lightyear or Scooby-Doo on his (almost certainly) semi-dirty Underoos. And no, I’m not

— Alt least, that’s how I see t in my mind’s eye.  And he isn’t alone. The vast majority of the GOP establishment would do the same, were they able to pull off the Maddow specs the way metrosexual Joe does. I mean, abolish the IRS?  Seriously?  What kind of far-right, racist, Birch-society anarcho-capitalist wacko bird extremist Hobbity nonsense is that?  How would the nuances of the political game be

None of which much matters, because we’re

“If Republicans offer these types of ‘alternatives’ to voters — where both parties favor expanding government dependency — why should their base support them?” The degree to which constitutionalists must engage in a kind of intellectual gymnastics in order to support nearly any politician these days goes to show just how far removed we’ve become from a representative republic in any real sense. Well, that, and the success of Chris

Illinois Review: The IRS scandal may have its roots in Illinois politics. Specifically, the 1996 U.S. Senate race between Democrat Congressman Dick Durbin and conservative Republican State Rep. Al Salvi. More than a decade before his 2010 letter to IRS officials urging the agency to target conservative organizations, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin’s political career crossed paths with Ms. Lerner when she was head of the Enforcement Division of the Federal

Subject: um. WOW! Date: May 29, 2013 5:47:16 PM EDT Jeff – Um. WOW. We didn’t except so many of you to come out to celebrate the departure of Michele Bachmann from Congress.
