Rush Limbaugh -- Psycho Talker of the Year
On “The Ed Show” (it’s on MSNBC), Ed Schultz crowned Rush Limbaugh (an extremist Republican radio host) as the “Psycho Talker of the Year” for 2011. This couldn’t be more accurate.
Herman Cain got 2nd place, Michele Bachmann got 3rd, the hosts of “Fox and Friends” got fourth, and Sean Hannity of Fox News and Rick Perry tied for fifth.
Last year, Glenn Beck won.
Rush Limbaugh is sexist,...
Anonymous asked: i love your blog. its blogs like these that are so hopeful for the future
Anonymous asked: So I've been talking to this guy about the use of the word "faggot". I'm gay and I get offended whenever I hear or see the word. He sees no problem in saying it. He says that he doesn't mean it in a bad way and that it's simply just a word to him. He says that no one should care about with people think, so gay people shouldn't let the word offend them. WHAT. ...

Ravi is now being charged with 15 criminal charges and facing a sentence of up to ten years in prison. The prosecutors offered him a plea deal that he doesn’t deserve. Instead...

foreverliberal:
Michele Bachmann is at it again. As you may know, Representative Michele Bachmann, a Republican presidential candidate, is well-known for her anti-gay stance and has been confronted several times about her views on the LGBT community.
This time is no different. When activist Kathy Schnell approached Michele Bachmann about her anti-gay stance, Bachmann and her husband, Marcus...

Tell Michigan Not to Ban Benefits for Domestic... →
Rick Synder, the governor of Michigan, just signed a bill into law that will ban state employees from getting benefits for domestic partners.
Michigan has come under fire for their anti-LGBT stance many times, including for an anti-bullying law that would let children bully other kids as long as it was for religious reasons.
This time is no different. Although the state has cited...

Tell Saudi Arabia Not to Behead People For Sorcery →
Amina Bint Abdulhalim Nassar, a Saudi Arabian woman, was beheaded on Monday after being found guilty for sorcery. The chief of the religious police, Abdullah al-Mohsen, claimed that Amina’s natural remedies were plans to trick people into thinking she could heal their illnesses.
Others have been executed for the same crime, including a Sudanese man named Abdul Hamid bin Hussain bin...

Peggy McIntosh, Associate Director of the Wellesley College Center for Research on Women, describes white privilege as “an invisible package of unearned assets, which I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was ‘meant’ to remain oblivious.

“…if you’re going to argue that same-sex couples cannot get married because it is...”
– Dr. Robert R. Cargill (via azspot)
I find it strange when conservatives argue for having a “Biblical” society or using the Bible in their politics, for morals, and whatever else, for anything.
First off, if we were following the Bible’s “morals”, people could be...
squoo asked: i answered your question and reached the word limit and accidentally pressed enter. now i look stupid. ahahah itll make me feel better to say somewhere what i meant to say and that is: Agree. People interchange the words sex and gender all of the time and they are not synonyms. My human sexuality professor always told me, gender is between the ears and sex is between the legs. believe it or not,...

Thanks for all of the responses everyone. If the answer limit was too short (which from what I can tell, it cut off many of you unfortunately) feel free to email me at ForeverLiberal@ymail.com, reblog this and respond, or put a response in my ask box (which I know also has a post limit, but it’s longer I believe, correct me if I’m wrong).
TheLipOfInsanity said “Agree.”,...

I’m going to be doing a project where I debunk all kinds of conservative arguments, from gay rights to the economy.
So if you want to have any conservative arguments you’ve heard included, please let me know. (:

Obama Retains Hispanic Support
liberalsarecool:
In a hypothetical general election match-up against Mitt Romney, a new Pew Research poll finds President Obama wins the Latino vote by a 68% to 23% margin. These results are quite similar to the outcome of the 2008 presidential election, when Obama carried the Latino vote over Sen. John McCain by 67% to 31%
These are metrics that matter. New and young Hispanic voters...
Political Prediction for 2012: It's Obama-Clinton
robertreich:
My political prediction for 2012 (based on absolutely no inside information): Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden swap places. Biden becomes Secretary of State — a position he’s apparently coveted for years. And Hillary Clinton, Vice President.
So the Democratic ticket for 2012 is Obama-Clinton.
Why do I say this? Because Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic...

48 states now have out LGBT elected officials →

By Denis Dison
Last week’s news that Southhaven, Miss., Mayor Greg Davis informed a local newspaper that he is gay means just two U.S. states remain on the list of those with no openly LGBT elected officials–Alaska and South Dakota.
That doesn’t mean these states aren’t served by LGBT elected officials, just that none have self-identified publicly either in speeches or...
