  • Remember when ...?

    Remember when we had a President who'd served, who could clear brush and manually dig post-holes, and who knew there wasn't no such thing as a freakin' "corpse-man" in the military's ranks? Remember when we had a President who made you want to stand up and shout, "USA! USA! USA!" [...]

    We apologize for the inconvenience, but Tennessee Democratic Party is currently undergoing maintenance.

    Number of comments: 0
    If with a democratic House, Senate and President we can't get health care reform passed, we never will. America will remain the only 'civilized' country without health care for all of its citizens.

    New speeches and tones seem to make to make it sound like Obama is almost conceding.[...]

    It would appear as though the upgrade to Movable Type 5.0 went off more-or-less successfully... with a few problems that I need to discuss with (and apologize for to) my co-authors.

  • AP story on the Tea Party convention

    This is pure people-driven politics facilitated by the Internet. This is an ideological mix of libertarianism and conservatism with the common denominator being lower spending and smaller government. This is a loose collection of citizen groups with no leader but many voices. And this is the product of long-simmering [...]

    They can't decide whether we're a Judeo-Christian nation, as Tom Tancredo thinks...
    Arguing that American “culture,” one based on “Judeo-Christian principles,” is under attack, Tancredo said the tea party movement would be non-existent if Obama hadn’t won the election and pushed the country swiftly to the left.

    Number of comments: 1
    He really did write this. No, I’m serious. If anything, deficits should be bigger than they are because the government should be doing more than it is to create jobs. Unbelievable! So when Krugman’s Keynesianism fixes everything, what’s next? So once the economic crisis is past, the U.S. government will have to increase its revenue and control [...]
