...but first some background. Disclaimer: I'm really uninterested in another persons sex life (other than my wife that is), that's their business. Also having spent half my life in the military, I fully realize that gays have and are serving their country in that capacity, thank you (and all folks, past and present) for your service. I don't dislike people personally for their lifestyle. I'm sure most serve(d) honorably, and a few were trouble makers, just as their heterosexual counter p...
Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or other I believe most reasonable Americans agree that something must be done about the out of control government spending. Until now the only way for the public to participate in their government was to write their representatives or run for office themselves. This basically floods the offices of representatives and senators with a wide variety of suggestions or grievances that may or may not actually be read by the recipient. A good idea...
Sometimes the words of the folks that want to destroy the very foundation of the US say it best. In 2006 conservatives had to take a hard look at the direction Republicans were taking. Many didn't like it. Apparently Democrats learned nothing and have been hijacked under false pretenses. Excerpts from the Communist Party of the USA http://cpusa.org/ : (my emphasis in bold) "Until we win enough support to change the system, communists call for radic...
Just an observation. The political blogs on JU were much more lively during the Bush years.

Everything that is happening in this country today is just wonderful? I don't believe many feel this way, but you never know. 2. The majority of the JU left only engages when they don't have the White House or a majority in Congr...
Set the WABAC (way back) machine to 1993 Mr. Peabody... Now my boy Sherman...The Clinton administration had just taken office with a vengeance. It was filled with drama and far-left agendas (Zoe Baird, Hillary Care, TC Bombing, Don't Ask Don't Tell, etc), actually IMO much less hub bub than exists today, regardless, this was a big factor in a sweeping Republican victory. It was the first time in 40 years that the Democrats didn't control at least one of the houses. The rest is histo...
It appears the liberal agenda supported the radical left organization is having the same expected results on the organization itself as it is on the rest of the nation. It seems they are not invulnerable to the "change" demagoguery they spew to coerce their like-minded followers. It’s a little hard to see in this picture, but under openings it says, “Currently there are no job openings at MoveOn.org. Check back soon.” Their Page Reap w...
