Churches, Religious Officials Ramp Up Political Speech While IRS Remains Silent


It's okay. I'll gladly let them speak their minds as long as my tax dollars (i.e. their tax breaks) aren't affected. We could use the taxes those churches ought to be paying. I'm tired of having my share of taxes increased so that they may ride free. I think the concept I just stated is probably beyond the mental capacity of an evangelical minister.

Conservative Agenda In GOP-Controlled Statehouses Runs Into Hurdles


The consistent underlying theme of the Republican Party is to destroy the last of the union jobs which create all that is left of a truly middle class, living wage electorate. I'm scared because somehow they have been able, in the South, to convince the average male worker that it's better to work 60 hours a week to earn what a union worker can make in 40 hours than it is to work 40 hours a week and make what a dimmer worker earns in 60 hours. How they have manipulated those Southern workers I don't know. The one clue I do have is that between 1 and 3 percent of any population are conscienceless sociopaths. Since about 1 to 3 percent of Americans are at the top of the capitalistic system, I see a connection. Sociopaths are extreme adroit at getting whatever they want. They can be charming when they need to be and they are ruthless if charm doesn't work. In the South, charm still seems to be working. But under that silk glove is a fist of iron. Most Southerners are pretty beaten down. Under their Southern hospitality lurks a self-loathing psyche. Religion helps the wealthy to control the Southern voter, by teaching them to be humble and to LOOK UP ABOVE themselves to get direction. That "looking up" attitude makes them easily manipulated by the sociopaths who control religion and finance in the South.

Venomous Spiders Invade Indian Town, 2 Dead


Every once in awhile, Nature is for the birds, and strikes back. Maybe a species has learned to identify the human smell with actions and activities (cities?) that are harmful to it. Then they come in their millions to kill the enemy.
