Taxes + Interest

Saying “lower taxes” while accruing trillions of dollars in debt is not actually lower taxes.

It is taxes plus interest.

Which is about the most expensive way there is to pay taxes.

Look around at the state of the U.S. economy at this moment and you (should) learn a vital lesson: overextending on credit is a dreadful […]

Black Grandmothers

by Tracee Sioux

I was anxious to find the Hillary-supporting women who have been saying they will vote for McCain or refrain from voting all together. I have read their arguments on the Internet and they seemed illogical, hysterical, and easily distracted to me - until I met them.
I was shocked out of my […]

Obama VP? MotherJones Explains

MotherJones has an intriguing list of Vice Presidential candidates and explains what each might bring to Obama’s candidacy in All You Need to Know About Obama’s VP Options.

Barack Obama Won, Hillary Clinton (Doesn’t) Concede?

Last night Barack Obama garnered enough delegates to become the Democratic Nominee.

Barack Obama is first ever black Democratic Party Nominee for President of the United States in American history.

Hillary did not officially conceed. She said she wasn’t making any decisons. She made a request that her supporters email her in a controversial speech.

It was controversial […]

I’m Proud Of My Country

I’m proud of my country because we can admit that we were tragically WRONG for participating in slavery and bigotry and that it still carries consequences to this day.

I’m proud of my country because this year we’re deciding we’re done with our long history of racism and sexism.

I’m proud of my country because this […]

Hillary & Barbara

Did anyone watch Barbara Walter’s interview with Charlie Gibson on ABC last night?

I wanted to weep with gratitude for what she’s done for women.

After watching old clips of her most famous interviews with some of the most powerful leaders, infamous criminals, and biggest stars of the world Charlie asked Barbara about her interview style.

Barbara’s interview […]

Pastoral Input & Elections

I am increasingly uncomfortable and pissed off at the amount of time the media is spending on Barack Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright.

I go to church every week. I have for several years, after about a decade of never going to church. I was raised in a home where I went to church every week.

I have […]

Imagine if someone put the 5 stupidest things you said on a tape and played them over and over for two weeks, Barack Obama said to Elisabeth Hasselbeck in reference to his opinion of his Church of Christ Pastor this morning on The View. Oh please - someone do this! I’m BEGGING someone to compile the […]

Super Tuesday - Vote or Shut Up!

It’s Super Tuesday!
This means 24 states will go to their party’s primaries and elect delegates to go to their party’s national convention. The candidate in each party with the most delegates will be that party’s 2008 Presidential Candidate. (Sadly Texas isn’t one of those states).
Anticipation and excitement, that’s the mood in my house during election […]

Obama Not Muslim

I didn’t think most people would believe the rumor circulating about Presidential Candidate Barack Obama being a Muslim.
However, in my Southern town I’ve had quite the time talking to the brick walls who keep insisting that they just KNOW he’s a Muslim.
So, in case you’ve been wondering: Barack Obama is a Christian. (We may have freedom […]

That Dream . . .

I imagine this is pretty close to that dream Martin Luther King Jr. was having.

Young Feminists Vote for the Woman?

There is an interesting, though slightly infuriating, argument brewing among feminists.
Should feminists vote for the woman “just because” she’s the woman? (As if U.S. Senator or successful attorney are not great qualifications.)
Even though she’s not as “likeable” or “passionate” (passionate is what we’re calling the man, while cry-baby is what we’re calling the woman for […]
