Florida's Culture Of Corruption

In a major procedural victory

for opponents of Florida's new congressional map, the state Supreme Court ruled that legislators and their staffers can be required to testify about whether they drew the new lines with improper partisan intent. Amendments to the state constitution passed in 2010 now forbid the legislature from creating maps "with the intent to favor or disfavor a political party or an incumbent," but plaintiffs charge that lawmakers did exactly that......more

The Marxist Pope

Asked how it felt to be called a Marxist, the Pope answered:

The Marxist ideology is wrong. But I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so

I don’t feel offended."

Racist Comments In A Harlem Barbershop

DINOS Attack Elizabeth Warren

The Washington establishment’s war on Senator Elizabeth Warren has officially begun.

On Friday, Jim Kessler, vice president of the centrist Democrat think-tank Third Way, took to the airwaves to defend his organization’s recent attack piece on the Senator. Kessler and the corporate Democrat “moderate” types who support Third Way are absolutely terrified. They’re terrified that Elizabeth Warren and her supporters will upend the stranglehold they’ve had on Democratic politics since the Clinton era. So now they’ve joined Republicans in declaring an all-out war on her and

everything she stands for......more

GOP Guide: How to Talk to Women

White Trash Right Wing

The very idea that conservatives think Obama should have been obnoxiously rude at the funeral of one of the most revered men on the planet is a sign that they lack any social grace or class. For a group of people that claim to be superior to everyone around them, they’re little better than white trash and, once again,

they’ve embarrassed America.......more

Florida Right Wingers Slam Obama For Castro Handshake

The Hug

"Sometimes a handshake is just a handshake, but when the leader of the free world shakes the bloody hand of a ruthless dictator like Raul Castro, it becomes a propaganda coup for the tyrant,"...Rep. Ilean Ros-Lehtinen

 Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez has noted that the handshake was not shown on Cuban television. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen also seems to forget that a big part of Cuban propaganda is getting Cubans to think that its the imperialist hand of any U.S. President that is actually bloodied. We doubt the Castro regime wants to make more of the handshake then what it was.

Diaz-Balart Becomes an Immigration Fabulist

 That is the sad case of Diaz-Balart, once an acknowledged leader in the immigration reform movement. His devotion to internal Republican Party politics has converted him into a suspect figure with declining popularity in his GOP-safe seat. He has become the Latino mask of the GOP’s “NO”

on immigration reform — and the voters in his district are not happy.
