SNL Spoofs Fox News

It's sad that when you spoof this network, they still end up looking better than the real-life Fox News. LOL

Ending the Hidden Holocaust

I had to choke back tears this morning when I read that Congress passed the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes legislation and that Obama had already indicated he would sign it. Though way too late, we conquered hate.

Many people have asked me why I ardently support Democrats and scorn Republicans even though the Dems have been wishy-washy on gay marriage, too. Here's the difference: when the Republicans controlled our government, this bill was proposed and killed numerous times. The Democrats have controlled it for a relatively short period of time and we just took one huge step forward.

Progress may come slowly with Democrats, but at least they don't work to prevent it. I'll take gradual concessions of equality over staunch theatrics of hatred anytime.

(If you voted against this bill, how do you sleep at night?)

UPDATE: Video of the President's remarks as he signed the bill into law.

Inevitable

via PoliticalWire:
Conservative columnist Ross Douthat to the New York Observer: "If I were putting money on the future of gay marriage, I would bet on it. The secular arguments against gay marriage, when they aren't just based on bigotry or custom, tend to be abstract in ways that don't find purchase in American political discourse. I say, 'Institutional support for reproduction,' you say, 'I love my boyfriend and I want to marry him.' Who wins that debate? You win that debate."

Assisting the oppressor

Michele Bachmann said on Fixed News yesterday that successful conservative women bother the Left. Well, she's finally made an allegation that actually holds water.

Liberals and feminists understandably resent women who ally themselves with the very people who fought to deny their own gender equal pay, an Equal Rights Amendment, the right to vote, the right to choose, the right to work, the right to an education, all while painting single mothers as welfare queens wearing scarlet letters.

It was the Left who fought tooth and nail so that women could have the opportunities they deserve--and they fought against the opposition of a shameful army on the Right.

So yes, as a feminist on the Left, I do resent successful conservative women for essentially embracing those who are, and always have been, intent to do them harm.

Reference of the Day

"And when you think about it, can you recall the last time they loved anyone at all? She's not a bobble you can brush aside--she's been out doing what we just talked about. Example: gave us back our businesses, got the English out. And when you think about it, why not do one or two of the things we promised to?"

"But on the other hand, she's slowing down. She's lost a little of that magic drive. But I would not advise those critics present to derive any satisfaction from her fading star. She's the one who's kept us where we are."
