How to put half a million people to work, RIGHT NOW
Thursday, March 18th, 2010Face it. Unemployment is insane at over 10%. We need to do something about it, and we need to do it fast, or else Sarah Palin will be telling Barack Obama in 2012, “It’s the economy, stupid”. Wow. Wouldn’t that be ironic.
In Oregon, where the ProudLiberal is, as well as in New Jersey, we have [...]
We must be our own fierce advocate, because to everyone else, we are just props
Thursday, March 18th, 2010Remember during the 2008 election, when Senator Barack Obama said that he would be a “fierce advocate” for the GLBT community? Fast forward a few months, when President Obama’s administration defended DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, and equated gay marriage to pedophilia and incest.

I use Yahoo!’s “My [...]
Unemployement benefits and the big “FU!”
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Like many Americans, I have been watching the Senate wrangle with the issue of unemployment benefits, and the detestable act that Kentucky Senator Bunning has committed in denying benefits be continued.

Homophobia seems to be making a comeback (image technically NSFW)
Monday, February 15th, 2010It seems that there is more and more homophobia, calls for violence, and all-out crappy treatment of the LGBT community that either being reported, or just becoming more fashionable to do. I’m not sure which one if is, but it’s disturbing, especially given that hate crimes against the LGBT community seem to be going up.

Friday, February 12th, 2010There has been a great “compare and contrast Democrats and Republicans” list out there for quite a while, and trust me it is great. But recently, something struck me as the biggest difference of them all. Let me tell you about it. And yes, it may sound hokey, but there is definitely a lesson to [...]
Straight boys looking at naked ladies makes them GAY?!?!?!
Monday, September 21st, 2009Okay, who came up with this? Oh yeah, some yabbo – Senator Tom Coburn’s Chief of Staff at the Value Voters summit – declared that. Okay, who believes these wackos?

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009You want to see the real difference between a Democrat and a Republican? I know this comes from my observations, but having watched the same thing on right-wing television this morning, I know others have experienced it.
Democrats, upon hearing Senator Kennedy has died: He was the lion of the Senate. He was the reason so [...]
