STOP RUSH LIMBAUGH NOW!!
At this critical point in history, the Republican Party has become a hostage to the likes of Rush Limbaugh. The party has been unable to decide what to do; now it is as if the party has no free will and it must serve Limbaugh as if he were their slave master. It is pathetic that the Party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt has become a conduit for a pill-popping fringe political talk radio,...
I have sinned against you my Lord (Limbaugh)
Yesterday, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA), the chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, complained to Politico about how Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talkers are able to “stand back and throw bricks” instead of offering “real leadership” in the middle of high-profile public policy battles. Gingrey’s brave remarks got him in hot water.
Now Republican congressman Phil Gingrey...
President Obama's Call for Common Ground on...
Abortion is a subject I have struggled with for many years. I know it is easier to struggle with this subject because of course I’ll never need to get an abortion. Because of my faith I have an anti-abortion bias. On the same token, I don’t believe “Big Government” should be making the decision on whether a woman gets an abortion or not. The decision to get an abortion needs between a woman, a...
Sunday Morning Shocker:
A Righty demanded recently that I say the surge in Iraq had worked. I replied that the surge in Iraq had improved the horrendous situation which had been caused by Bush’s incompetence in the first place. It was bad enough that Bush sent our troops into a war in Iraq that was unnecessary. It was compounded by Bush Administration’s incompetence i.e. not enough troops, (WMD falsehoods), lack of...
Don't block Obama's Attorney General nominee to...
Some Senate Republicans have already started their quest to obstruct President Obama’s agenda.
President Obama’s nominee for Attorney General, Eric Holder, is eminently qualified - he served as Deputy Attorney General in the Clinton Administration, and was also the first African-American U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
But Senator John Cornyn of Texas has a problem with...

Obama to Shut Guantánamo Site and C.I.A. Prisons
By MARK MAZZETTI and WILLIAM GLABERSON
WASHINGTON — President Obama is expected to sign executive orders Thursday directing the Central Intelligence Agency to shut what remains of its network of secret prisons and ordering the closing of the Guantánamo detention camp within a year,...
Our new President is already kickin ass and taking...
One of Barack Obama’s first official acts as President was to suspend all prosecutions of Guantanamo Bay detainees for 120 days. Right away Obama is keeping promises and attempting to undo the incredible damage Bush has done to the reputation of this great country!
Obama has also put a freeze on Bush’s last minute attempts to make regulatory changes that would weaken environmental and endangered...
As the naysayers and neo-conservatives ramp up...
They want Obama to fail plain and simple. What ever Obama does they will find fault. This reaction from the right is not based on the loyal opposition theory it is based in visceral hate of anything progressive. They hope, not only hope, they prey Obama will fall on his face. Shame on these selfish ultra-partisans who care about nothing but keeping power for themselves and their corporate...

Boehner on stimulus: OMG!
You Republicans crack me up by acting like you are fiscally responsible all of a sudden! LOL
John A. Boehner (R - OH)’s speech today was pathetic. He criticized the Democrats on wanting to utilize the remaining monies from the Economic Stimulus Plan to (OMG) stimulate the economy..
Boehner’s fake comment:
“Oh, my God,” Boehner told reporters in a hastily called press conference. “I can’t...
MIDEAST: Some Israelis Cry Out for Peace
Are you Anti-Semitic? Imagine my shock yesterday when that question was thrown in my face. I was talking with a colleague about the war in Gaza and voicing my opinion that Israel’s response to the rocket attacks was way out of proportion to the threat posed by Hamas. Then just because I was critical or questioned the Israeli invasion of Gaza I am suspected of Anti-Semitism. And this was not the...

The Bush Administration’s Most Despicable Act
“This is not the America I know,” President George W. Bush said after the first, horrifying pictures of U.S. troops torturing prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq surfaced in April 2004. The President was not telling the truth. “This” was the America he had authorized on Feb. 7, 2002, when he signed a...
WatchNOTE: Leonard’s Digest strongly supports the State of Israel. We also strongly support an Independent Palestinian State in the West Bank and Gaza. Leonard’s Digest calls on Hamas to immediately stop sending missiles into Israel and for the Israeli Army to stop all military activity in Gaza that is not directly related to it’s own defense. We also request that Hamas and Israel immediately initiate...
We need a two-State solution to the Palestinian -...
At the end of the day, these two peoples need too find a way to live in harmony. Call me a dreamer if you choose, you won’t be the first.
Immediately there needs to be a iinternationally monitored ceasefire put in place: Then peace talks need to start.
I don’t agree with everything the former president has said on the subject, I did find the following article very insightful. Have a good day. -...
The American Right-Wing: pontificating on...
Just when I think the Right-Wing Nuts can’t top some of their previous nonsense I come across this foolish commentary that “The Economic Crisis was created to Help Elect Obama”. These idiots have no shame and will say anything to further their right-wing political agenda. They can’t present facts or make any legitimate arguments that have the least bit of credibility any more, so now the just...
Qualities that are uniquely “Joe”........
Joe tells it like it is. If Joe Biden (the former stutterer) has something to say his words slice through the air like a saber. Words that praise, criticize and sometimes shock. Some people believe that Obama made a big mistake picking Joe Biden as his running mate because he is too outspoken and undisciplined. Quite to the contrary: Joe’s brash speaking style and openness and by saying what he...

New poll shows Palin no longer Alaska’s most popular politician
Does Palin once again think the rules don’t apply to her?
Did Palin abuse power again for future son-in-law?
What has happened to the GOP??? Huhh??
The right wing blogs are awash with ideas on how to rebuild the Republican Party. Many conservatives support a veer to the right. Others think that if the Republicans should moderate some of their positions on social issues and then they will meet with more success. I have no idea what the Republicans need to do to rebuild their party; however I do know some of the issues that have caused many...
President George W. Bush supported torture!
The U.S. government’s torture of detainees in the “war on terror” can be traced directly to a Feb. 7, 2002, memo signed by President George W. Bush.
This was conclusion #1 of the recently released final report of the Senate Armed Services Committee Inquiry into the Treatment of Detainees in U.S. Custody.
Here is the final report (CLICK HERE)

Pass The Employee Free Choice Act.
The reins of power are about to be taken away from the right-wing nuts who have driven this great nation to the brink of disaster. The Neo-Conservative minions are looking on with fear as the American people sit on the precipice of reclaiming their government. To put it simply: Our long National Republican-Conservative nightmare is almost over. I just mention a very few of the specifics of the...
We don't need a stimulus, we need a recovery.
The financiers and their Republican regulation wrecking crews have brought our great nation to the brink of economic disaster. Can we as a nation survive? Are the United State’s greatest days behind us? NO! But action is needed immediately. As usual Vanden Heuvel gets it right: read on.
Happy New Year everyone! - Robert
