What Makes Conservatives Believe These 10 Outrageous Lies?

Could Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, or Joni Ernst make a red state conservative believe his poor hard working neighbor, or his mother, is a traitor to America even if they are not? You betcha. Republicans and conservative pundits know that if the message is from a source conservative are told they can trust, they can get them to believe anything. Even a lie. Predatory conservative politician and pundits know that all they have to do is keep repeating the same lie and soon everyday conservatives are convinced that the most outrageous lies are God inspired patriotic truths.

Privatization IsThe Selling Of America And Is Bad For The USA

In our democracy, privatization of public services that have always been part of the government's responsibility to exist for the common good is a rip-off and a predatory not-so-funny joke. Privatization has led to loss of public sector jobs, lower wages, and the selling off of public owned assets and institutions and using tax payers money to fund and create long term revenue-streams and profits for corporations. Big Business, predatory CEOs, and predatory profit mongers are promoted by corruption, motivated by greed, and have never been responsible to The American Public. Citizens in many countries seem to understand this concept.... Read more →

FLorida Governor Rick Scott Vetoes Plan To Save Dying Indian River

Rick Scott, Republican Governor of Florida ,has vetoed a bill that would provide conservation research efforts on the 156 miles long Indian River Lagoon. While some people seemed shocked by the veto of this bi-partisan bill, they shouldn't be. Governor Scott's veto to help save what may be a dying river is consistent with the Conservative Republican assault on what is best for America and the 98% of American families that are not wealthy. Governor Scott claims that the 156 mile long dying river which stretches along 40% of the Florida Atlantic Coast lacks "statewide significance". Really? Kathryn Carnell, of... Read more →

Protect Bryce Canyon from dangerous coal mining!

A message from Mary Anne Hitt, Beyond Coal Campaign, Sierra Club: Last year, the Sierra Club and our allies submitted nearly 250,000 comments to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) opposing the expansion of the privately owned Alton Coal Mine onto federal land in southern Utah, 10 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park. At the same time, both the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued formal comments opposing the mine. In addition, Utah's largest newspaper editorialized against the mine proposal. But the BLM has never denied a mining expansion request like this one before. That's... Read more →

The GOP Deny Global Warming Because They Don't Care About Your Children.

It's official. In their caustic and virulent denial of climate change, conservative Republicans reveal that they really don't care about your children, nor the long term quality of life and survival of your grandchildren and great grandchildren. And it appears there are a number of conservative voting parents and grandparents who don't care about the quality of life and long term survival of their children and grandchildren either. Otherwise, how else do you explain why so many parents and grandparents keep voting for conservative politicians who propose and enact laws and policies that put the future of their families at...

The United States Government Is Not A Business Nor Should It Be Run Like One.

Conservative Republicans and their misguided low information base want the rest of America to believe America needs a president who has business experience and will run the country like a business. It was one of the reasons so many in the poor, working class, and middle class supported Mitt Romney for president. Even on the surface this is a ludicrous statement. When you dig deeper, it is insane. Why would any ordinary citizen in his or her right mind want the government of The United States Of America to be Run like a business? Conservatives and the Republican party are... Read more →
