“ BARACK OBAMA: “Hello, Republicans, look at your candidate, now back to me, now back at your candidate, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped listening to the Tea Party and switched to being a moderate, he could govern like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in the Oval Office with the President your candidate could govern like. What’s in your hand? Back at me…I have it, it’s a tax plan that saves you enough money to buy two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now people marrying who they love regardless of gender. Anything is possible when your candidate governs like me and not a bigoted vulture capitalist. I’m on a unicorn.
— From this MetaFilter discussion thread about Bill Clinton’s speech at the DNC.  (This specific comment is located here.)

Arizona Plans to Criminalize Passive Resistance

tzikeh:

sinidentidades:

Finding the traditions of Gandhi and Reverend Martin Luther King to be effective, the Arizona Legislature is working to criminalize passive resistance.

No more sit ins or die ins to fight corporate rule will be allowed. If you engage in passive resistance, you will be charged with resisting arrest. Because a sit in is just like shooting at officers to avoid detainment, right?

What.

wow

RECALL ALL REPUBLICANS IN 2012!

If I have to start at 7 in the morning to walk my happy ass all the way to the school where I can vote, I’ll be there. Never again will I allow an election to go by without me voting.

Colorado House passes “Abortion is First-Degree Murder” bill

tzikeh:

From Daily Kos:

“…we were unable to prevent the Republican majority in the House from passing on second reading the First Degree Homicide of the Unborn Child bill. Under some circumstances, it makes both termination of pregnancy and the use of the morning after pill a homicide. It also confers personhood on a newly fertilized egg.” — State Representative Daniel Kagan (D)

Having passed the House, the bill is now on the floor of the Colorado State Senate.

There will be protest marches on all fifty capitol buildings in the U.S. (plus the Capitol building in D.C.) on April 28th. If your state’s government seems to have the hang of this 21st-century thing, maybe consider a nice trip to Denver (or any state near you that’s gone back in time).

Women’s PAC formed following abortion legislation

truth-has-a-liberal-bias:

A group of women has formed a new political action committee to recruit and support candidates to defeat elected officials who back the ultrasound and so-called personhood bills.

Women’s Strike Force, which boasts several former elected officials, formed after Virginia spent last week in national headlines for its attempt to require women to undergo mandatory trans-vaginal ultrasounds before an abortion.

“As a former member of the General Assembly and Virginia’s first woman in Congress, I fought for women’s rights in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s,” Leslie Byrne said in a statement. “We must move the commonwealth and the nation forward, not backslide to denying women rights.” […]

I’m so sick of the bullshit coming from these people.

tzikeh:

Enough. Just… enough. Go read some Emerson. Here, let me get you started:

“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.”

this so much, the existence of other beliefs does not mean christians are being oppressed
