Obamacare Won’t Kill Grandma, But Republicans Still Want To Repeal It
Before I talk about Obamacare and irrational Republicans, I have to remind everyone that we need to fight back against the false narrative that says both sides are the same. Right now in Washington, Republicans are not about governing. They aren’t about solutions. They aren’t about helping people, especially minorities of any group. Both sides might cater to their special interests and both sides might feed at the trough of big business, but both sides DO NOT have the same philosophy when it comes to governing and looking out for the disenfranchised.

NSA Leak: Law-Breaking, Civil Disobedience, And Who Do You Trust?
Democrats will need to go above and beyond to be trusted when it comes to their opinion on the NSA leak by Edward Snowden. What do I mean by that? With a Democrat in the White House, I don’t trust Democrats who say Snowden is a traitor. Similarly, I don’t trust Republicans, particularly libertarians, who say Snowden is a patriot or a hero.

South Carolina Democratic Chairman’s Insulting Comment About Governor Nikki Haley
This one is for those who might think I overlook insensitive or insulting remarks made by Democrats. Potentially racist comments are rare on the left, but to be sure, I don’t care what party you belong to. If you’re asshole, I’ll call it out.

Gun Control: Public Shame For Senators Who Blocked Extended Background Checks (Complete List)
The 45 Senators (not counting Harry Reid, more on that later) who voted “no” on sensible gun safety legislation, a bill that would have extended background checks to include gun shows and online purchases, should be publicly shamed. Morning Joe on MSNBC did their part this morning as well as websites like The Huffington Post and Mother Jones.

Republicans Are Cowards On Taxes
You gotta love MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell. On The Last Word, he called out Republican cowardice on taxes during the Rewrite segment. The crux of the presentation focused on one simple fact — Democrats are responsible when it comes to taxation and Republicans bank on it.

My Laughable Solution To Fix The Senate Filibuster: The Mainstream Media
It appears Harry Reid, in longstanding Democratic (with a capital D) fashion, is losing his nerve when it comes to substantive filibuster reform. Since it seems we will not get the filibuster reform in the Senate that is required to make Republicans accountable, I suggest an alternate solution — the mainstream media.
