The Cost of Doing Nothing on Health Care – NYTimes.com

Things could be a lot better in our economy if we’d worked on fixing the health care system sooner. All rational people, even a few grudging Republicans, will acknowledge that. But for damn sure things are gonna get worse if we keep pretending Republicans have valid points and do nothing.

The Rehabilitation Of Joseph McCarthy? Texas Textbooks Process Grinds On | TPMMuckraker

That bastard Don McLeroy may have lost his seat on the Texas State School Board, but there are still plenty of Talibangelical jackasses who want to destroy our education system.

These are the pricks who honestly think that Joe McCarthy is some kind of American hero. No, seriously.

These people have literally got to be stopped. Not in a lethal sense, but their point of view, their derangement, their flawed thinking and beliefs. Their disease has got to stop being taken seriously.

Yes, it starts with an election, but this is one in Rethug-ruled Texas. Even a possibly moderate Republican is going to have Luddite and Talibangelical tendencies, if not Tea Bag Traitor ones come re-election time.

We need our children educated, not fed fairy tales and lies. We want them to open their minds and not close their hearts. That’s what the Republicans want to give our people: hate, fear, ignorance. Never forget that.

Stay vigilant folks!
