Ultimate Campaign Commercial

Ultimate Campaign Commercial This is one powerful commercial. I found it on "Views from the Cyberhenge," and agree with Isaac that this should go viral.

America’s Goddesses

Posted on July 4, 2006December 15, 2022 by The_Blogmother
Even in this so-called Christian nation (yes, I know they're the majority, but the Founders did not intend this nation to be anywhere near a theocracy), there are concepts not based in any one religion that are considered sacred. For example:

Liberty and Justice for All.

The Innocent Have Nothing To Fear…Right?

Posted on April 5, 2006December 15, 2022 by Robin

Wrong.

A Homeland Security Department spokesman was held Wednesday on felony charges of sexually preying on a detective posing as a 14-year-old girl through explicit online conversations. He was quickly suspended without pay from one of the nation’s top crime-fighting agencies.

The arrest of Brian J. Doyle, 55, raised doubts about the ability of an agency responsible for safeguarding the country to ensure the security credentials of its own people.

Gee, ya think?

Of course, it can’t get much worse than this, right?…

“If they really cared, they’d be Republicans.”

Posted on March 31, 2006December 15, 2022 by The_Blogmother

As the Blogfather notes, Frank Luntz is still evil, but I don’t think he picked up on how evil (warning: PDF file):

3. What would Jesus do? Tell me what YOU would do and leave Jesus out of it. The time for a conversation about faith and spirituality is in the general election, not the primaries. Democrats don’t want to hear about your church. If they really cared, they’d be Republicans.

Emphasis on last sentence mine.

He Said He Was A Uniter

Posted on March 27, 2006December 15, 2022 by The_Blogmother

Crossposted to/from Big Orange.

Every so often, I feel compelled to return to this issue, the heart of what shows that Bush is evil — not just his administration, nor Bush himself merely incompetent — but the man himself, the puppet sitting in the Oval Office. He bears responsibility, no matter how he might try to avoid it.

Below the fold, I am going to ask you to come back with me, back to That Day, back to when the millennium truly turned and America changed forever — just not the way we thought or hoped. Just a heads-up.…

In “Honor” of Box Turtle Ben

Posted on March 24, 2006December 15, 2022 by The_Blogmother

Two things differentiate me and BTB. One: I’m stating outright that most of this comes from another source [1]. Two: I actually changed a few words. :-)…

Anyone still think charges of theocracy are funny?

Posted on March 3, 2006December 15, 2022 by Robin

State bill proposes Christianity be Missouri’s official religion [1]

Missouri legislators in Jefferson City considered a bill that would name Christianity the state’s official “majority” religion.

…

The resolution would recognize “a Christian god,” and it would not protect minority religions, but “protect the majority’s right to express their religious beliefs.” The resolution also recognizes that, “a greater power exists,” and only Christianity receives what the resolution calls, “justified recognition.”

Battleblog Galactikos?

Posted on February 23, 2006December 15, 2022 by Robin

Yeah, yeah, I’m shameless. What’s your point? ;-)

Actually, this concept sprung from a parody .sig I created for Street Prophets (you can find it at the end of this diary, if you care), but more and more, its implications weigh on me: are we really it? Is there no one else left who’s really standing up and fighting with genuine heart except a bunch of liberals, progressives, and infuriated moderates all suffering from outrage overload? Maybe — on good days — a handful of Democratic leaders who kind of almost get it?

I’m an introvert. I’d vastly prefer to donate once in a while, write when it’s helpful, and otherwise let the fighters do the fighting and the leaders do, you know, the leading.…

Words, Violence, Nuance and Proportion: Our Existential Crisis

Posted on February 6, 2006December 15, 2022 by Robin

I think we need to take serious stock of where we stand here. Civilization today is at a point where its very foundation — the idea that we can work out our differences without trying to kill each other — is in real danger. The facet brought up so often in the Traditional Media is our “interconnected, multicultural world.” In this frame, the question becomes whether or not freedom of expression can truly be maintained in the face of those who reject that ideal.

A whole heck of a lot more after the fold.…

Corporate personhood?

Posted on February 2, 2006March 16, 2023 by The_Blogmother

I saw something about this topic in a diary comment while I was catching up yesterday, but it was too far past to comment on. I was going to mention, corporations are only people for the rights, not the responsibilities, and that’s just plain wrong.

Then, today I got this on an email list.…
