Republicans have a long and distinguished history of voter suppression. They know that if people actually put two and two together about the cause of nearly every negative change in this country in the last fifty years . . . and then voted, they couldn't get elected to dog catcher.
Mike, you promised right after the last election that if the Republicans moved against gay folks, you would write to them (or call them) and tell them to drop it and get back to the business of creating jobs.
Sen. Forrester filed a "so-called" Defense of Marriage bill yesterday. It does several important things. 1) Disregards the fact that marriage is already defined between a man and a woman. 2) Does nothing practical to strengthen the families and marriage. 3) reinforces the vision of some that in America we can "do more divided than ...together."
I am wondering if you have called Soucek and Jordan yet and fulfilled your promise and I am wondering if you will share with us what they said.

He has taught college classes in Appalachian history, cultural politics, and literature, and he has lectured widely on the pop-culture history of "Appalachia" in the American consciousness. His books include Interviewing Appalachia, Southern Mountaineers in Silent Films, and Hillbillyland: What the Mountains Did to the Movies and What the Movies Did to the Mountains. He has won the Thomas Wolfe Award given by the Western North Carolina Historical Society, the Laurel Leaves Award given by the Appalachian Consortium, a special Weatherford Award given by Berea College, and the Cratis Williams-James Brown Award given by the Appalachian Studies Association.

Love the cartoon! The Conservatives over on the conservative site cannot get their head around the morality shown by this cartoon.
At every opportunity conservatives side with protecting the wealthiest and most powerful Americans at the expense of working people.
The cartoon puts it in prospective.

MIKE D, WHERE ARE YOU?

The poor conservatives use Joe the Plumber logic: they might be rich some day and therefore don't want taxes raised on rich people.
The rich conservatives of course don't want taxes raised on rich people.
