2000 delivers some extreme results on how self-identified Republicans feel about gay rights. Vast majorities of Republicans said they do not feel that gays and lesbians should be allowed to serve in the military, marry, receive federal or state benefits, or teach in public schools. The article/survey can be found here:

According to Politico.com, the military’s discriminatory policy against openly-serving gays and lesbian’s might be on its way out. This highly offensive Clintonesque “compromise,” has results in the discharge of 12,500 service men and women since 1993.
The Defense Department is reviewing its ban on gays in the military and will make public its findings by [...]

What a week! As someone born and raised in Massachusetts, I never thought I’d live to see the day when a Republican would take the seat of the late Ted Kennedy (D-MA). Senator Kennedy – truly a legend in Massachusetts and a progressive nationwide – held his seat for 47 years. For [...]

I got one of those robo calls today – a survey from the NRA. They had two questions. First, did I support a strong 2nd Amendment defense allowing American’s to carry guns? Second, was I pro-life? Knowing that I was speaking into a recording, I let them know my “thoughts” about both.
What’s interesting is [...]

In an article in today’s Huffington Post. we learn that the South Carolina Supreme Court has ordered an insurance company to pay $10 million for wrongly revoking the insurance policy of Jerome Mitchell, a 17-year-old college student after he tested positive for HIV. The court called the 2002 decision by the insurance company “reprehensible,” demonstrating an indifference to [...]

Rep. Joe Wilson, the latest cause célèbre of the GOP and radical right, continues to assert that the pending health-reform bill will cover illegal aliens – a truly awful phrase, let’s go with undocumented workers.
To be exact, Section 246 on page 143 of the bill says nothing about “non-US citizens” or immigrants, legal or [...]

I find it mind boggling that the GOP has hijacked the Obama administration’s healthcare reform initiative even to the point of seeking raucous town hall-type meeting with miss-informed, angry citizens.
The September 7, 2009 issue of Newsweek has an outstanding piece on “The Five Biggest Lies in the Health Care Debate” by Sharon Begley. Everyone should [...]

I am from Massachusetts and learned as a child to love the Kennedy’s. For me, words can’t express the tremendous loss of “The Lion of the Senate.” The president’s eulogy at the Senator’s funeral mass may come close to capturing some of my feelings. I just want to share the very ending which I found [...]
