Cray Cray: Why Are Some Republicans Going on Abortion Witch Hunts?
Just caught wind of a huge fart cloud coming from Bob Morris, an Indiana lawmaker who insists that the Girl Scouts–yes; those evil peddlers of mint chocolate cookies–are in collusion with Planned Parenthood to promote GASP!! abortion and homosexuality and is demanding an immediate investigation.

Author Says Organized Religion Has It All Wrong
Have you ever (like me) sat through a church service and listened to some doctrine that seemed to be way out wacky, or search as you might, you couldn’t find a single verse in the bible that told you that you couldn’t dance, drink, have sex and like it, or that it was absolutely mandatory that church ladies over the age of 60 must wear hats like the Chiquita Banana lady?

‘ASwirlGirl’ Speaks on All the God Talk ‘Round Here Lately
He’s endured man-made wars fought in “His name,” and His Word being used to legitimize slavery and subjugation of women.

Ron Paul vs. Barack Obama: Why Has the Media Forgiven One But Not the Other?
Ron Paul can’t catch a break. Not only has the contender for the Republican presidential nomination failed to win a single primary or caucus in the 2012 election cycle, the man just can’t seem to be able to shake himself free of the stigma of the racism-tinged newsletters that appeared bearing his name in the 1990′s.

Prop 8 Overturned in California. Anyone Vexxed?
I remember when this proposition came out for voting back in 2008 and seeing all the little signs on the yards of the Mormon families in my neighborhood. Whew!–between denying the rights for gays to marry and the election of the first (half) black president, things got pretty tense around the cul-de-sac.

Fred Camillo: Who’s Got the Chops to Go Against Obama?
As we begin election year 2012, President Barack Obama, buoyed by poll numbers that have been treading upward lately, now stands a much better chance at being re-elected than just a few months ago despite polls showing the majority of voters giving him poor marks on his handling of the economy.

Do You Support Marriage for All?
I associate the word marriage with religion and since I also support a separation of church and state, I see nothing wrong with allowing religious institutions to retain final authority over the word marriage while the state only officially recognizes civil unions. But…

Kathy Henry: “I Wonder What It’d Be Like to Be a White Woman, Just for a Day.”
I have to admit, I wonder what it would be like to be a white female just for a day to see what it would be like to be considered Aphrodite rising from the sea, because at times it is hard being a black women in a society that is sexist and has placed women who look like me on the fringe of every ladder in American society, from economics to beauty and beyond.

Politics: The Big Message from the New Hampshire Primary: Bashing Black People Doesn’t Sell Like It Once Did
Their ploy didn’t work because we are now in recession, we have experienced the looting of America by Wall Street, and the Occupy Wall Street protesters have shined a light on the reality of just how close many of the people in this nation are to poverty. Poverty is not just a black and white thing, so trying to play pin-the-welfare-tail-on-the-blog-people is not going to work. Not now.
