    """"""And then the obvious finally hit me: the Romney campaign is reviving the single oldest tactic of southern reactionaries: race-baiting white working class voters to distract them from the many issues on which this segment of the electo
    rate is naturally unsympathetic to policies that reinforce economic and social privilege. It’s how the Bourbons reasserted control over the Populists in the late nineteenth century. It’s how conservatives undermined southern support for the economic policies of the New Deal and Fair Deal and New Frontier and Great Society. It was ultimately the fulcrum for the realignment of the whole region from the Democratic to the Republican Party.

    So it’s a familiar tactic, but what makes it novel is that it is not being narrow-cast into North Carolina or Virginia or northern and western Florida or Missouri, but broadcast everywhere. And there is zero way it can be rationalized as a part of an overall GOP message supposedly focused on economic recovery and job creation—or even, given the ridiculously small quantities of federal money that go to the Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) program, as part of a budget austerity message. It’s a flat-out racial appeal aimed at convincing non-college educated white voters that this black president wants to take their tax dollars to give them to his shiftless black brothers and sisters.

    WARNING RANT:

    Dear Republican friends, stop asking me why I’m a “single issue” voter because I refuse to support candidates that are against the LGBT.

    For your information equal rights are not a singular issue, it’s:
    -The ability to marry the person I love
    -Not pay higher taxes
    -Not be fired for my sexual orientation
    -Not pay higher insurance rates
    -Be able to adopt
    -Visit my spouse in the hospital
    -Be protected from hate crimes
    -Not be compared by candidates to pedophiles and bestiality (and it be acceptable)

    It’s pathetic and close minded to try and tell me I should overlook the freedoms that affect my very being. Republicans raise taxes so have Dems, Dems have cut support programs so have the Republicans they both have moved left and right. The difference is RIGHT NOW only ONE party is out to get me, there for I will not let them win without putting up a fight.

    Florida Rep. Allen West went a step further, likening Obama’s programs to slavery. “He does not want you to have the self-esteem of getting up and earning and having that title of American,” West said in July. “He’d rather you be his slave.”

    Do not misinterpret the Hollow Man's move in naming Paul Ryan. The false meme will be that, in this choice, he is "pandering to the right wing once again." But this is not the truth of it. The truth of it is that in naming Ryan, the Hollow Man, and the Death Eater overlords he fronts for, are showing naked, unabashed confidence in what they see as the coming triumph of the Citizens United war chests amassed by Rove and others, and in the bitter harvest of the ALEC vote suppression legislation passed in battleground states. If you don't vote in 2012, or you throw your vote away, you will be the answer to the question, "How could it happen here?" Richard Power

    Photo: When people say they are entitled to their opinion and we should respect those with opposing views - I call BULLSHIT! When you turn the other cheek when people are being oppressed, you become the oppressor. Thinking you are superior to others and have the audacity to think you have the right to deny other people rights, you're a bigot and in need of a reality check while being smacked off your high horse. It is not for you, your religion or your bigotry to define marriage. So was interracial couples denied the right to marry prior to 1967 because of the definition of "traditional marriage" or was it just bigotry? This is NO different. And yes, thinking others shouldn't have equal rights is as hateful as one can get.
