Seen on A Bumper Sticker

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

NO endorsement from me but Moons sends the Bumper Sticker Quips for you folks.
Next Time she gets an urge to post stuff like this I am demanding pictures but for know here you go.
#1 Out of work? Hungry. Eat a Republican.
#2 A Vote for a Republican is a Yes vote on Homelessness?
#3 Just What […]

Are Conservatives Inherently More Fearful?

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Moon sent this along (from Slashdot Originally ) without any comments.
Again I don’t endorse all the findings but it is interesting.
My biggest concern about this sort of thing is that it makes it all too easy to demonize opponents. I worry about science being used into some Soviet Style Psychiatric Politics, you […]

are Conservatives Mentally Ill

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Editors Note:
This is Moon talking here, not me. As Mama Prosper always said, consider the source. Still I have to post it, if only just to thank Moon for introducing me to Kubie back during my psychology days.
As Lawrence Kubie once said (repeated from here)
“The measure of (mental) health is flexibility (not comparison to some […]

Proof the U.S. is as my Cousin would say Dumb as Bag of Hammers

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

872,721 Pot Arrests.

Why do we do this?
Pot is safer than booze, not especially addictive and for many people a whole lot of fun.
About the only downsides other than making a person a bit dumb if overused (its called dope for a reason) are the munchies and sometimes sudden lack of desire […]

Pitbull with Lipstick Hmm?

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I am not sure that a good comparison. After all Pit Bulls are specially breed pit fighting dogs, not exactly house pet material. They can be mean and ornery. In fact some of us on the left think they are inherently unstable and dangerous and should be banned.
Well actually maybe it does fit. […]

Republicans and Principles

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Posted w/o much comment or endorsement from me.
Someone once described the principles of the Republican party as-
#1 limited government,
#2 thrift, fiscal discipline
#3 low taxes,
#4 a strong defense,
#5 impartial justice,
#6 free markets
#7 most importantly that a citizen is an adult, fully capable of deciding what is best for himself.
Has the Republican party […]

Moon on Convention Protestors are Treated as Terrorists

Monday, August 25th, 2008

On the Huffington Post via the Daily Kos.
I need to inform some folks running the show that this country isn’t in dire straights, in danger from a bunch of angry leftists, in danger from Islamic terrorists, right wing militias or anything else other than our own power hungry government.
In fact I’d […]

Moon Prosper on Open Carry

Monday, June 9th, 2008

The L.A. Times had an interesting article on people who want to carry guns openly instead of concealed.
This isn’t wrong. There is a right to bear arms. However its really rude. We live in very safe society and we don’t need to pack weapons.
What it tells people is not “I am ready to […]

Moons Musings: Class Warfare

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Right wing claims that only the Left engages in class warfare is a flat out lie. The fact is that the entire Republican platform is class warfare against the middle and lower classes for the benefit of the elite.
The left being timid and easily shamed can often be fooled not fighting. If […]

Moon Musings: There is Something Wrong with America

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

There is something wrong with a country that has 2.3 million people in prison and portrays serial killers as police officers.
(AB’s Note– thats Dexter she is talikng about by the way, and he is a crime tech not a police officer but the point still stands.)
We as a people need to embrace peace […]
