Rick Santorum Thinks College Makes People Liberal
Is this what the right believes? That conservativism is so fragile that new info bursts it into a million pieces? If your position was strong enough, no amount of “indoctrination” outside of Clockwork Orange would sway people away from it. If you were right the liberals wouldn’t be able to take that away from you. You’d be able to exist outside of a bubble.  How badly do...

“CO2 is a pollutant? Tell that to the plants.”
– Rick Santorum, this weekend in Davison, Michigan. Yet another example of willfully ignorant being brought to it’s absolute apex. We’re currently pumping about 90 million tons of carbon emissions into the air every day. This creates the conditions that lead to global warming, and the seriousness...

and quote John Adams as saying “The Government of the United States is…founded on the Christian religion” and see if anyone takes me for my word and/or starts repeating it without checking what is in the snipped portion. (Chiefly, the word “not”)

The Second Amendment: America's Fail Safe Button...
I have a lot of issues with the second amendment, I’m not going to lie. While I’m not in favor of repealing it, I do think that we need stricter gun regulation. It’s one of the few conservative adages I actually agree with: if you criminalize gun ownership, only criminals will have guns. But this post is only tangentially related to gun ownership. It’s about why our...

Conservatives claiming that health care is not a...
Don’t you guys claim to love the constitution and permanently have your lips of the founding fathers collective asses? How can you balance that with claiming that health care is not a right? It is a fundamental right. In fact, when listing the ultimate rights that all men are entitled to, it’s the first one.  We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,...

I need some help
My brother-in-law is a great husband and a great father to my two beautiful nephews. However, he loves to make “Get in the kitchen” jokes to my sister. My sister doesn’t mind them, but when I was visiting them, I was made increasingly uncomfortable about them. I laughed them off, because to not would be making way too much a fuss (I’m going to tell that story in a follow up...

Last week, South Dakota’s legislature shelved a bill, introduced by...

I'm Calling It on "Nice Guys"
Even though I don’t think I’ve mentioned them before, chances are if you follow me, you know what I mean by Nice Guys. But just in case, I’ll give you a quick recap. These are the guys who are constantly bemoaning how women take them for granted. These are the guys who lament being put in the “friend zone.” Basically, these guys seem to believe that they deserve a...

So You Know How A Couple States Are Trying To Pass...
It suddenly occurred to me, from when white people first came to America up until the 17th century, they were the minorities. So does that mean that Arkansas and Arizona will no longer talk about Columbus in a positive light and instead focus on how he enslaved, exploited and massacred the indigenous people?  I could get behind that.

stfusexists: needleg33k: Hey all My friend is trying to get signatures for a petition against Judge David Farrell. Recently, he sentenced 2 men to 40 months in prison for raping an 11-year old. Why was the sentence so light? Because she looked older than her ask and was “willing”, despite the fact that she claimed it was rape. Please reblog as far as the eye can see and sign this petition to...
