This is the best damned explanation of the conservative agenda I’ve read in quite awhile.

Texas, U.S. Must Adjust To New Latino Majority
Cracker White Texas is turning Tortilla Brown. There is no way around this. The numbers do not lie. It should be an interesting – and potentially violent and repressive – change in the coming years. Racist Aryzona is already starting the reactionary showdown.
The GOP really needs to address their racist policies and supporters head on lest they become a permanent pariah party. Granted, they’ve been bigots for so long, there really isn’t a damn thing they can do to earn *my* vote, but for the good of the country we need more sane, rational, and respectful voices in our public discourse and, currently, they aren’t doing a damn bit of any of that. The racial-tinged hatred isn’t helping either.

Granted, Gabriel isn’t ready for any saw work any time soon, but I hope to refer back to this at a later date.
Scott Walker Falls for Killer Prank by Liberal Blogger Posing as Right-Winger Sugar Daddy David Koch | AlterNet
If you believe in freedom and democracy in the United States (and even if you are a Republican and don’t), give the following a listen. Abbreviated transcript here.
A liberal blogger recorded this on Skype. He swears it is true and David Korn over at Mother Jones says the governor’s office confirms it. More confirmation here.
Mother Jones has some more on the story and some background on Walker’s debt to the Koch Brothers.
One of the points by “Fake David Koch” was to get Walker to agree to infiltrating the union protesters with violent plants to cause trouble. Walker, who already thought of this and for the moment rejected it, demurs.
That said, Tea Baggers are already doing this<‘/a>.
In Georgia, Tea Bagging Traitors are planning to bring guns to a SEIU solidarity rally. Yeah, it isn’t enough to want to take your rights, conservatives want to start a gun battle.
Guess I was never wrong calling them Talibangelicals, was I?
In Indiana, a Deputy Attorney General there wants to use live ammunition on the protesters.
Such “compassionate” conservatives these are.
But let’s be honest here. These folks would NOT be in power if voters would pay attention to what they are voting for, and the programs the cretins running are to pass.
Ga. Law Could Give Death Penalty for Miscarriages | Mother Jones
Republicans (still) hate women.
Legislation pending in Georgia would make it a crime to have a miscarriage. Not just any old crime either, a charge potentially punishable by death.
Any family who has had to deal with a miscarriage can attest to how painful it is. To have some Talibangelical bureaucrat play religious police and haul your wife off to prison to be executed? Yeah, that just doesn’t belong in America. Ever.

In case you were curious about whether this asshat Walker has a point, here are the actual facts.

Things to keep in mind while Republicans keep on attacking public servants.
Why We Need Unions | Mother Jones
I was raised in what was apparently a fairly radical home so I really don’t see the argument against unions. I haven’t been in one for years but I have no problem supporting them. Like all things, yes, they are subject to poor and even criminal leadership, but hell, you still put your money in banks and people still vote Republican, right?
So, here is an argument FOR unions plus some more info on the history – and future? – of unions and the Democratic Party.
Pro-Union Website ‘Defend Wisconsin’ Blocked In Capitol
Well, I found ONE thing Republicans LOVE: censorship.
Only conservatives could want to censor a website that wants to Defend Wisconsin.
Granted, that site wants to defend the rights of Wisconsin public employees to not be steamrolled by pro-business Republican governors/dictats, but the sentiment is the same.
When those in power work to limit the speech of the ruled, particularly those they are hoping to oppress, you know what side justice is on.
Republicans hate…volunteers
Please sign this petition. Then contact your legislators, yeah, even the bigot Tea Bagging ones.
Apparently it isn’t enough to hate women, minorities, kids, Elmo, and teachers who want their rights. Now they are going after Americorps, which helps brings teachers and tutors to places folks normally don’t want to work in this nation. So basically, this is a plan to screw over kids in the urban cities as well as tribal kids in remote parts of America. Judge the motivation for that level of hatred however you will.
These guys keep finding new ways to screw over honest Americans while fighting for tax breaks for millionaires and oil companies. I know which group *I* side with.
