Ron Paul Update

Gotta hand it to the man for tenacity and commitment:

Where is the Intelligence in Intelligent Design

It's mystifying what runs through the minds of creationists and proponents of quackery known as "creation science" - If all life comes from the Divine Hand of Gawd, then how can we explain such disparate things that run the gamut, from invasive weeds and nuisance species, to disease - Avian Influenza, HIV/AIDS, or even simpler things which replicate, even though they are just wrinkled little protein constructs - prions, which brought us BSE (Mad Cow) and all of its relatives...

For the poor creationists, either it was A.) God's Will or B.) somewhere in a lab some "intelligent" evil scheming scientist has been devising these things...

Or, perhaps science is correct, and the world and its species are in a continual species of flux...

Politics of Division

The biggest infuriation that the conservative commentators seem to have with McCain is that he dares to blur the lines between "us" and "them". He reaches across the aisle. How DARE he?

Divisive politics at work...

Did they not understand "an ever more perfect UNION"?

Chicken Doves

Surrounded on all sides by punks... Good article in Rolling Stone, just another display of how we, the American People, get screwed no matter which way we vote...

Romney Punks Out!

Wow... wonder what wheeling and dealing's going on in the background... and still he wants to stick it to the remaining candidates by keeping his delegates (won MA cause of his name recognition as Gov and UT thanks to his fellow Mormons) locked up. Buying an election wouldn't cut it.

Just as well, evangelicals aren't going to vote for him anyways...

Taking his ball and going home... though I'm sure we'll see him again...

Screw the poor...

An unnamed conservative dipstick said something about Hillary luring folks in with the usual liberal schpiel about a life of ease through subsidies (suggestions of welfare? Oh, my...). Hah... Just more of the same ingrained mantras...

True, throughout the '80s (gee, who was president then?) welfare had been spiraling into a culture of entitlement, but was substantially reformed in 1996, when President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 into law, to take people off of the welfare rolls.

There have been years and years that have elapsed where the Republicans have had every opportunity to remedy Welfare and SSI abuses, but they have instead demonstrated a complete lack of will. The only recent event even remotely qualifying as an attempt at reform has come at the hands of a Democrat.The irony. How can so-called conservatives still respect themselves?

Leon Trotzky Strikes Back

I was laughing my butt off listening to ole Rush earlier today... complaining about how he's being forced out of the party, and about a 'Trotzkyesque' cleansing of the GOP. Funny thing is, Rush, Hannity, Coulter and the rest have been drinking their own bathwater for so long that they actually think THEY are the core, the heart and soul, of the Republican Party.

Au contraire, mon frere... they are on the fringe, always were.
