I wish I could say they were wrong....but they aren't.
Quote:The Supreme Court stuck a dagger in the Voting Rights Act this morning. The GOP majority in the House spent last week passing draconian anti-choice legislation, and tried to pass legislation that would have thrown millions of the most vulnerable Americans out of the SNAP food stamps program. The only reason it failed, in the end, was because a pile of right-wing House reps decided the bill wasn't harsh enough.
The mainstream "news" media has deftly managed to turn the story of Edward Snowden's NSA revelations into the story of Edward Snowden, and never mind the astonishing volume of domestic surveillance that has all but erased the Fourth Amendment. President Obama has a number of ideas on how to protect the environment, none of which will amount to much of a damn if or when he approves the Keystone XL pipeline.
Oh, and in Texas, a Republican state representative named Jodie Laubenberg explained with stunning ignorance why an exemption for rape is not needed in the astonishingly brutal anti-choice bill her cohorts are trying to ram into law: "In the emergency room, they have what's called 'rape kits' where a woman can get cleaned out."
This is America, and it is dying by inches of stupidity and greed before our very eyes.
