TIRED OF SELF-RIGHTeous judgmentalism
Don't you wish the strutting fundamentalists would actually read the Bible? All the posing, all the attention-getting, all the judgments, all the ignorance gets to be very-very tiresome.
SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL TO ME...
Thank you for reading my blog. I respect you. I appreciate you. I do not take you for granted.
RIGHT-WING THREAT TO WOMEN
Don't let them deny it! Women are being attacked and challenged anew by the right-wing in America. A Republican leader in the Wisconsin legislature announced "proudly" that it was only right that men were paid more than women because men needed more money than women. Shades of the 19th century! And the right-wing who constantly criticizes government and wants less of it, nevertheless wants legislation that has the government snooping in the physician's exam rooms to be sure women behave puritanically in their lives. Shades of the 18th century! With Mother's Day approaching, I thought it was a good time to post some thoughts that relate to woman....[stay to the end, not the usual words]
ODD ENDS

Money rules. Greed has purchased our culture, way of life, democratic process, etc.

Much of that money went to SCM Associates of North Carolina, a direct mail firm that lists Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney as a client." Adding to the multitude of Scott Walker's lies and distortions are the "facts" and "figures" he presents about Tom Barrett's job as Mayor of Milwaukee. Trying to run away from his miserable job as Governor, and failing to live up to his promise to bring 250,000 jobs to the state, Walker mentions all the jobs lost in Milwaukee in Barrett's past year. Well, Scott, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on Wednesday:
