It is hard to write things that you think others will enjoy or learn from. That was my thought and then I realized that I started this blog not as a news source. It wasn’t started as an education blog for progressives. I started it as a blog where I could scream out those things that I yell at the TV when I watch C-Span 1-2 or 3, MSNBC, Fox, or other stations when people lie exaggerate or minimize my beliefs. This post will be some of those thoughts just for fun. The Republicans still fear England? How many red States are on the northeastern Atlantic or near Canada? Answer 3 (4 if you count Alaska)Maybe they fear water? How many coastal States. Answer 4 (5 if you count Alaska). It coul... Read More

Wait! How can this title be correct.Isn’t it the Republicans that talk about the United States being a Christian Nation. Then they mention the Jewish faith.They Can’t use Jewdu because that would confuse their fear machine. Aren’t they the ones that keep telling us that they are God fearing religious pro lifers  while the Democrats will let anyone in. How can this be wrong? During the last election period there were ads put on by the Jewish Republican Council (a group slightly larger than the gays for the sanctity of marriage council). This group’s title started me thinking about why Jews were predominantly Democrat and the Christian right was Republican. The Jewish... Read More
