Support the Good Guys

There are SO many things wrong with the scoundrels of the GOP that 1,000 bloggers posting 100 times a day could not keep up with the underhanded deliberate dismantling of American values.

I hope to try to point out a few. I hope you get MAD enough to write the buggars and tell them off, and then send some money- hey- a dollar!- to a representative that you SUPPORT.


Social conservatives have a HUGE voice within the GOP. I do not know when Republicans decided that everyone had to screw the same way, at the same time, with the same motivations and reasons.
The belief in God (hu? Who goes there?) apparently makes rational men piss their pants and ignore their "little gray cells".
The next time you hear some allegedly smart GOP yahoo going on about how moral and holy the founding fathers were, please feel free to tell him or her that they are full of shit.
MOST of that august group were pluralists and deists and not the frightened sheep of Christianity that our current leaders would LIKE us uneducated Americans to believe.

It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no
God. -Thomas Jefferson, third US president, architect and author
(1743-1826)

WHY do we have so many great quotes like that from Jefferson? Because he was speaking not from a lonely isolated view- but as a man of the people who was speaking the current beliefs.

"Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more
uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right
and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of
men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped
them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always
skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is
based on "I am not too sure."
H.L.Mencken


I have always wanted to believe that there was a higher power up there guiding me. I have begun to reconsider what that says about my own ability to logically reason my way through life and my belief in my OWN brains.

Consequently, I have become on of the loud dissenters in America, and rather than being respected for it, have been labeled a traitor by the very people who are trashing the Constitution.

"The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself." ArchibaldMacLeish, poet and librarian (1892-1982)


"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. ... Our problem is that people are obedient all
over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and
stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem."

- Howard Zinn


'No matter what anybody says to you, don't you let 'em get your goat. Try fighting with your head for a change ... it's a good one, even if it does resist learning.' 'Atticus, are we going to win it?' 'No, honey.' 'Then why -' Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win.' Harper Lee, "To Kill a Mockingbird"



"Let us face a pluralistic world in which there are no universal churches,
no single remedy for all diseases, no one way to teach or write or sing, no
magic diet, no world poets, and no chosen races, but only the wretched and
wonderfully diversified human race." -Jacques Barzun, professor and writer (1907- )



I love quotations, and pointing out small bits of larger issues--- there are other pundits out there that can spend 10,000 words explaining todays atrocities to you. I just want to make you aware, and give a little bit of insight, offer some hope, make you smile, or point you towards other liberal American Patriots that, like yourself, would like to join together and "throw the rascals out".
