Old School Republicans are "Scared Shitless" says Meghan McCain
She's definitely got that right! They're trapped in a web of their own making. They refuse to change with the changing times and thus will soon become a relic of the past. Speaking to an affectionate crowd of Log Cabin Republicans on Saturday evening, Meghan McCain ridiculed the party her father headed this past election, declaring that...
The Conservatives' Dangerous Game of Hate and Consequences
I do believe these will be the last days of extremist conservatism--the kind that preaches hate and division--and FEAR. Despite the fundamentalist conservatives' refusal to go with us, all of us on this planet are heading into a different kind of world where brotherhood and humane treatment of others is in the ascendancy. But, as this author...

Republicans have to change their ways -- or die out as a party: McCain Campaign Manager
It must be taken into account that this was said at a Log Cabin Republicans' national convention, with the firm intention of keeping Republican gays in the party (I have always wondered how gays can stay with a party in which the majority despises, fears, and shuns them). It seems the party is getting so desperate now, as it continues to crumble...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED YOUTUBE VIDEOS on UFOs and Quantum Physics
For inquisitive people who are curious about our world/universe and its makeup, the following videos are thought-provoking and exciting to contemplate. Some afternoon or evening when you have about 3 hours, you may want to sit down and watch these. Most of them are very short (a few minutes long), but the one on the Disclosure Project is 2 hours long...
Meditation in schools
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/apr/14/transcendental-meditation-in-schoolsI think we can anticipate that there will be plenty of naysayers about this proposal to teach meditation to children in our schools. Even though daily meditation has been found by doctors and scientists to have a calming effect on the body and brain and a positive...
MICHELLE OBAMA AND HUGS
Letting the people decide for themselves seems to work quite well. The Obamas have extraordinarily high ratings across the world. Michelle's is at 72%! This is a victory for those of us who would rather believe our "lying eyes" than let FOX News tell us what to think. MICHELLE OBAMA AND THE HUG. NO, THE OTHER HUG...
When the shoe is on the other foot, listen to the Republicans howl
I'm sure we all remember how the Republicans demanded that Bush and Cheney be proclaimed the winners in the 2000 presidential election, even though there were many, many questions about the legality of the Florida votes and despite the fact that Gore had over 500,000 more popular votes than Bush. They stormed the gates in Florida, in acts of enraged...
Christian Charity (as non-practiced by vocal right wingers)
Right wing "Christians" who yammer on and on with their criticisms of Obama need to take a look at some of the statements of their founding father heroes:Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man. -- Thomas Jefferson (He wrote his own treatise on Christ, called The Truth and Moral Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth)Lighthouses are...
Palin nominates nutcase, causing her huge political fallout
More political "astuteness" from the Republicans. Just think of what our country could be like with her and McCain in charge. OMG, No, don't think about it! It's too painful even to contemplate.Sarah Palin Suffers Massive Political Fallout from Her Latest Nutcase Nominee by Max Blumenthal | April 14, 2009 The governor is reeling after nominating...
GUNS -- The American Way
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/14/opinion/14herbert.html?_r=1EXCERPT: Murderous gunfire claims many more victims than those who are actually felled by the bullets. But all the expressions of horror at the violence and pity for the dead and those who loved them ring hollow in a society that is neither mature nor civilized enough to do anything about...

Insanity continues on our planet, thanks to the GOP
From Arianna Huffington: This week, the Grand Old Party continued its march into madness -- and irrelevancy. Rep. Spencer Bachus pegged the number of Congressional socialists at 17. Rep. Michele Bachmann said she fears the Obama administration will use "volunteerism" to create "re-education camps for young people." Sen. James Inhofe responded to news...

Obama looks at ways to cool Earth -- shooting particles in the upper atmosphere?
Who does this government think they're kidding? They're talking publicly now about shooting particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays back -- what in heck are the chemtrails, if not that? This was proposed back in 1997 at a climate symposium in Sicily -- by Dr. Edward Teller. I believe the governments in all western countries...

SHAMEFUL! How the govt. is treating our soldiers!
Throughout the Bush years, this is how it has been--our mentally wounded soldiers have been treated as throwaways. Or they've been sent back into combat with their mental injuries untreated. Plus, the disgusting Bush/Cheney administration actually lowered the benefits of our soldiers at the same time!!! I hope the Obama administration will make...

Prophetic Mark Twain quote
It seems on Earth some things stay the same, century after century..."Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blameupon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be gladof those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligentlystudy them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them;and thus he will by and by convince himself...
Video: Finally, a president and First Lady to be proud of!!!
Even the queen feels affection for Michelle -- and her visit to an ethnic girls' school evoked heart-touching feelings in her and in the girls at the school.http://crooksandliars.com/media/play/wmv/7753/27...
Oops...another Palin in the news
Sarah Palin's sister-in-law arrested for burglary: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/04/diana-palin-sarah-palins-_n_183097.htmlSome of the readers' comments at the end of the article are on the mark.

A touching moment between Michelle Obama and the queen
It seems the Obamas almost single-handedly are changing the bad-taste-in-the-mouth image of America left by Bush and Cheney. Even Britain's queen, not known to show affection in public, put her arm around Michelle. You can't hide who you are. Everyone can feel the difference between phony (the Bushes and Cheneys) and genuine (the Obamas).One reader...

Newt Gingrich becomes a Catholic (sort of)
If I hadn't already left the church, this would be enough to make me do it... NEWT SAYS: MY THIRD WIFE WANTS ME TO BE A GOOD CATHOLIC (and hey, those votes Catholic votes might come in handy when I run for president in 2012) by Cenk Uygur Newt Gingrich has converted to Catholicism. He apparently has the zeal of the converted because he is already...
VIDEO: Stephen Colbert on Glenn Beck -- A KEEPER!
Don't miss this one. The parts showing Glenn Beck making his crying pleas to his followers are priceless. After listening to Beck's rant on the 9/11 victims' families, it's difficult to imagine that some people actually take him seriously. It really does take all kinds to make up our world (sigh).... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/01/stephen-colbert-rips-apar_n_181673.html...
