Voting To Ban Rights

Sept 30th, 2011

The report below by Rachel Maddow is chilling. One more time, I'd like to harp on the "disappointed" 2008 Obama voters who stayed away from the polls in droves last year. If they still think there is no difference between the parties, they are simply, flat-out insane. The assault on marriage equality is but a part of the result of liberal non-participation. Face it. If we had solid Democratic majorities in most of the states where basic rights, which we have taken for granted for decades, are under siege, this would not be happening.

A Connection?

Jan 19th, 2011

In the aftermath of the Tuscson Massacre, I think it's abundantly clear that no one needs to have 30 shots in a handgun. I find it equally obvious that the average gun-toting, homicidal maniac is going to select high capacity magazines as their product of choice. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy's (D-NY)  proposal to ban such products faces tremendous opposition. You may or may not have seen this chart yet. I find it relevant.
