Christian Right activists who give money, pressure politicians and organize against gay rights may think they’re accomplishing a couple of goals, like rolling back gay rights and asserting their religion’s primacy in American culture. Unfortunately for them (but for …

Quist's platform and ideology bears a close resemblance to another Minnesota conservative with a huge family and a love-hate relationship with modern science—Rep. Michele Bachmann. That's no coincidence. Beginning in the late 1990s, the duo worked together to take do …

Sometimes I want to be that mom. Not the mom that wakes up and first thing disconnects a tube from her son's belly that just administered medication. Sometimes I'm tired of it. I'm tired of sitting and pumping food and medications into my son while we watch Monsters Inc.& …
Even for Justice Antonin Scalia, the crassest of the current United States Supreme Court justices, it was a particularly callous piece of writing. In 2006, in a case styled Kansas v. Marsh, the Court's five conservatives had just upheld a portion of Kansas' capital punishm …

It can't be repeated enough: Republicans really don't care about debt or deficits. Case in point, Mittens gave a big speech on Tuesday in Iowa attacking the President over the national debt -- and yet, he wants to make it $2.6T larger in 10 years. And on Wednesda …

Thank you for your well written and intelligent comments. :^)
rescue dogs62,
I am really glad that someone is standing up for us Californians. For decades I have heard the slams and other bad remarks from people when I say that I live in California. Yes, I am glad that no one was hurt in the eathquakes on the east coast and to put Jaxx43 in his place-it seems that he is more rude with his comments than anyone else and he is from the east coast. Some impression.
I always enjoy your comments very much, you add a lot to the vine, thanks!
Greetings, Rescue, thanks for the FR! Don't you just love seeding the religious articles? Wow, I had to stop on the Herman Cain mosque one -- too hot in there for me! HA!
Thank you for the Friend invitation, I truly appreciate it. :-)
My Foto Friday photos are up and dedicated to you. Too bad I don't have a doggy photo but there is a moth and a gecko. Aloha!
Love your avatar. Is it a Golden Retriever?
Thanks for the FR. I don't spend the majority of my time on heavy topics anymore, but I look forward to seeing some interesting articles/seeds from you. A new election is coming up--time to spread your wings and fly =) I think we started here around the same time. I'm looking forward to being better versed on the way NV works and which articles to look at, seed, and post. I hope you are ready, too!
