Apparently, conservative icons like Nixon and Reagan himself would be run out of the party by Tea Bagging Traitors given their policy stances.

Mexican-Hatin’ is Sweeping the Nation!
Gustavo Arellano is collecting the nation’s regional racial slurs for Mexicans.
It’s kind of in good fun and also an indicator of how low some folks can be.
Famous Greek protest dog hits the streets
This is a pretty neat story. Apparently in Greece a dog named Kanellos just shows up at protests, siding with those opposing the government.
Here is a gallery of photos of the dog, who sometimes gets into some dangerous situations.
Here is more coverage about him.
A brave dog to be sure, but no one seems to know if he’s got an owner or anything else on him.

Washington Times Compares ‘Tea-Bagger’ To N-Word
Here’s the problem with Tea Baggers. First, they come up with their own nickname, which, frankly, is always a bad thing. Second, said nickname has dirty sexual connotations and they get pissed when people hilariously point this out to them. (Case in point, if some angry guy named Richard wanted to be called “Raging Dick” he should expect to be laughed at.)
Third, they are historically inaccurate in their platform – such as it is – and then can’t see the rank hypocrisy their stance puts them in after decades of Republican spending.
Fourth, they are chock full of racists and violent treason types and don’t do a damn thing to silence those who have sullied anything they said that might have made sense.
So what do you do when you’ve made a mockery of yourselves and are tied to racist traitors? What do you do when your race has been in power for hundreds of years, enslaving others and taking the land of those you didn’t put under the yoke? You claim you are being discriminated against.
Um, yeah, that’s not really going to work here idiots.
Christian right leader George Rekers takes vacation with “rent boy” – Page 1 – News – Miami – Miami New Times
Look above. There’s another gay-bashing conservative. He hates gays. Can’t stand ’em. Hell, he helped create the bigoted Focus on the Family hate mob with Jim Dobson.
So why is he taking European vacations with a male escort he picked up on RentBoy.com?
Hmm, I don’t think you hire an escort to just “push your luggage around”. Just saying.
Hypocrites. But he’s a “good family man” and hate-spewing “Christian” so it’s okay. Right?
Arizona Expands Its Discrimination: Teachers With Heavy Accents Can’t Teach English, Ethnic Studies Are Banned
Read this. More about the madness in Aryzona.
In a nutshell, you can’t learn about anything but white history in Aryzona.
Oh, and if you have an accent – whatever that means – you can’t teach people English.
Presumably this won’t be applied to, say, white Texans teaching English.
Un-American Activities – Paul Krugman Blog – NYTimes.com
Republicans don’t care if you were born here. They just want to deport anyone who is brown. Hey, Hunter, my mom wasn’t a citizen when I was born. Come on over here and try to deport ME, punk.
What Cuba Can Teach Us About Health Care | Wired Science | Wired.com
Unless you can’t get over the concept that other countries do things differently – and sometimes better – than we do it in the US, give this article a read.
Cuban doctors are renowned for being well-trained and well-skilled and we could do worse than to listen to the top docs in this hemisphere.
The Rachel Maddow Show – McDonnell lets Jesus back into Virginia
After coming into office as governor of Virginia, he’s stripped rights from his citizens, attempted to return to Jim Crow era laws and officially celebrated treason, among other things. With all that hate and bigotry on his menu, what was missing? Oh yeah, conservative Hate Jesus.
And there ya go.
