Submitted by Southern Shift on Mon, 2010-06-14 08:06 Authored by Davey DWhere the hell is PETA? Yeah i said it? Lemme repeat that incase I was misunderstood.. Where is PETA? You know them, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals... Where are those guys around this Gulf Oil Spill Issue?

Rand Paul is a Dangerous Man & Not Just Because He Hates Civil Rights
Submitted by Southern Shift on Fri, 2010-05-21 12:28 Authored by Davey DThis interview with Rand Paul is interesting on a number of levels. The way it's being spun is that he handed ABC host George Stephanopoulos his ass. I can see that being the case only in the sense that Paul was prepared for the inevitable questions on his controversial stances around Civil Rights. Up to now a lot has been made about his take on things in this arena and to be honest it’s more than obvious what conclusions you can draw from them - dude is smooth, but anyway you slice it he simply wasn’t down for the advancements of the Civil Rights Movement.

One of the most important unasked questions this midterm election year is this: “Will the youth vote be a factor in 2010?” Given the actual impact of the youth vote in 2008, it’s a far more important question than the ones daily raised by the media manufactured so-called Tea Party Movement–despite the latter’s success at striking fear in the hearts of incumbents.
The Tea Party murmuring is hardly a movement. It has not a single political victory to speak of. Not so easy to dismiss are young voters who two years ago turned out in record numbers to vote in the presidential election. Two-thirds of the 23 million voters 18-29 who voted for president in 2008, voted for Barack Obama.

In what was the culmination of a year long beef, an altercation in the middle of 52nd street has left both men dead. No, they didn’t shoot each other. As they stood arguing in the middle of the street, they were run over by a Tea Party Express bus that was running late for a rally…
Pimp of the Week: Clarence 'Slimy' Thomas & His 'Shady' Wife Virginia
Submitted by Southern Shift on Mon, 2010-03-15 05:41 Authored by Davey DWhen we got wind that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' wife Virginia was launching a Tea Party organization called Liberty Central Inc, all we could do is throw our hands up in exasperation. This newest affiliation with the Tea Party is dedicated to uplifting conservative principles... So much for impartiality on the nation's highest court. So much for 'justice being blind' and holding no allegience to political idealogy...
