Where Is the Protest
Ever since the #BlackLivesMatter movement got going shortly after the shooting of Mike Brown there has been an attempt by (overwhelmingly white) conservatives to challenge with a very consistent meme of “Where is our protest?” The meme works this way…people find an incident where a person shoots and wounds or … Continue Reading Where Is the Protest
If Only Obama Were More Like Genghis Khan
There has been a trend among Conservatives and Republicans to compare Obama to “tough foreign leaders” unfavorably. Most recently, it was regarding Netenyahu and his speech. A speech that was pretty much the same one he gave about in 2003 about Iraq. His 2003 speech missed on pretty much every … Continue Reading If Only Obama Were More Like Genghis Khan
Where Is the Hypocrisy?
I confess, I am really tired of the online Conservative meme of telling a tragic story about a cop being killed and asking “Where are the protests” acting as if there is some grand hypocrisy on display. For example, the current version of this meme is this one. It is … Continue Reading Where Is the Hypocrisy?
Grand Old Delusions
On Real Time With Bill Maher, S.E. Cupp noted that blaming the electorate is unwise. This of course did not give hand wringers any pause. “The white establishment is now the minority.

That Old Time Logic
You know, it really does amaze me that in the argument over global climate change, Conservatives who are in doubt have no trouble believing in a vast global conspiracy. They see no problem with the logic that there is a global cabal of the majority of scientists seeking to lie … Continue Reading That Old Time Logic

And are the Green Berets aware of this??? (Really, the issue should be that they were made in China, not … Continue Reading We Musn’t Underestimate “American Blundering”.
The Happiness Chronicles
In yet another “We’re better than you” op ed piece, Arthur C. Brooks focuses on some study that finds that Conservatives are way happier than Liberals. I am not going to try real hard to argue this one, because frankly, I. Do. Not. Care. Who is happier is not really … Continue Reading The Happiness Chronicles
Listening To Conservative Christians Complain
About how they are treated by gay rights activists feels like listening to a jock cry about how the nerd he picks on made fun of him in chemistry class.
When Did Lies and Misinformation Become a Virtue?
I was impressed with how the Fluke Debacle morphed over the last week. It was bizarre, really. What was a young woman noting that reproductive health was something worthy of coverage by Healthcare Plans somehow became a Young whore wanting the government to pay her for sex. It was not … Continue Reading When Did Lies and Misinformation Become a Virtue?
