Not All Democrats In Hawaii Have Been On The Side Of The Angels In The Struggle For LGBT Equality
DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 34 minutes ago
Last week, you may recall, Blue America did a end-of-the-quarter fundraiser
for our House candidates. The name of one of the most generous contributors
looked vaguely familiar, so I looked him up. Steven H. Levinson was a judge
on the Hawaii Supreme Court and the reason why I had his name in my memory
bank was because he authored the lead opinion in *Baehr vs. Lewin*, the
first-ever court ruling to determine that denying marriage to same-sex
couples was discriminatory. That was 2 decades ago and that battle has come
a long way-- in the face of bitter on-going opposition, not just f... more »

The Internet Party: Mostly Clowns

The magic of German megalomania continues to transform journalists into

Mostly clowns.
Last week was another political and journalistic circus, with both DotCom

The circus started with Dotcom’s “confession” he owned a book, and
continued with his party “launch.” A “soft” launch, you’d have to say,
since virtually the only thing we heard about it was that DotCom owned both
a book and an MP.

Always remember when looking for ALEC members that most of them hide their
ALEC membership.
The best way to find out if they are an ALEC member
- is to ask them
- is to check their expense accounts and campaign funds.
Exposing ALEC members is done by activists - thru research.
Most ALEC members do not self identify with ALEC - they know what they are
doing for ALEC is wrong and they are ashamed. Only the most corrupt
acknowledge their ALEC membership - they are proud of their role in

Why is it that I've spent my adult life believing that the purpose of the IMF has been to help indebted countries out of debt? Whereas its true purpose has been to force those countries to privatize their profit-making sectors, allowing them to be bought off by speculators and global corporations, while forcing the government to cut old-age pensions, government services, government employment, and subsidies to the rest of the populace in order to pay back the IMF for the money that they promised but never really deliver, because the Western banks are given the money (something you surely won't learn from the presstitute "mainstream" media).

Stephen Harper does not believe in creating a big tent. His political

he will use labour unions as a wedge in the next election:
