Obama closed his Labor Day speech today to the members of the AFL-CIO in Cincinnati, Ohio — a state whose coal industry he has declared he intends to destroy — who were gathered for their Labor Day picnic by telling the story of a woman in Greenwood, South Carolina, who had inspired him during his …

Yoo-hoo! Gay Democrats! Republicans now are the party of tolerance and equality and diversity — who'da thunk it?
It might seem counter-intuitive that I’m choosing today to announce to gay and lesbian Democrats that Republicans now have THE party of tolerance, equality and diversity. I am taking quite the shellacking over a piece of mine at Pajamas Media entitled, “My Blissful Gay Marriage.” Around noon or so, Eastern Time, it was dropping down …
To scare off bullies, you must first have hit one of them
I did not watch the TV sitcom Happy Days very often, but one of the shows made a lasting impression on me. It encapsulates why all of us who are outraged at David Letterman’s vile rape jokes about 14-year-old Willow Palin and his unfunny, degrading remarks about her mother, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, must get …

More on how to get Letterman fired — and why Republicans need to do so
Sebastian Gray at HillBuzz has been giving lessons this week on how to get David Letterman fired for his rape jokes about Gov. Sarah Palin’s 14-year-old daughter, Willow.

Equality for homosexuals is as American as apple pie
In my recent post, “Bookworm has advice on how to talk to liberals,” I wrote, “social conservatives, who believe I do not deserve equality as a U.S. citizen because I am a lesbian,” which prompted an objection by a gentle reader named Mary Beth. I wrote a reply that was detailed enough to deserve its …

Bookworm has advice on how to talk to liberals
Bookworm’s advice on how to talk to liberals — if you want to be persuasive to them — is at her blog and American Thinker. She took a shellacking in the comments at American Thinker from conservatives who do not suffer fools gladly. I am sorry to see that. She replied by politely pointing out …

Alan Keyes and Randall Terry at Notre Dame graduation fight for the unborn since 'you can always abandon or kill them later and if they're gay, not one conservative will utter a word against you'
Failed Republican perennial candidate Alan Keyes and pro-life advocate Randall Terry have been participating in demonstrations against Pres. Obama and his support of abortion at Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana, where Obama is speaking today at the graduation ceremony and receiving an honorary degree. Both Keyes AND Terry are not famous for abandoning …
Hey, hey, ho, ho, Michael Steele has got to go
You don’t just know a minority has arrived when one of its members — Barack Obama — becomes president. Or — Michael Steele — head of a major political party. The real sign of having arrived for a minority is for its members to start bashing on the gay people who truly believed the rainbow …

Ronald Reagan is the only person who has ever explained fiscal conservatism well
A post by John Hawkins at Right Wing News caught my eye this week and I was delighted to find he quoted and linked a speech by Ronald Reagan that I had been looking for. In it, Reagan explained how he had turned California’s economy around as governor. It was his “Let them go their …

Monique Stuart, still champeen
As the official referee of the Jell-o wrestling match between Monique Stuart (HotMES) and Suzanna Logan (Insert Clever S.logan Here) scheduled for Tea Party Day, April 15, I declared Monique Stuart the winner on points a week in advance, as I explained here. Now I see there are many more reasons to declare Monique a …
