Why GOP Congressional staffer quit after 28 years

Yikes!:

Mike Lofgren: Well, I would say that in today's GOP, Ronald Reagan would be considered too moderate. After all, he pleaded with Congress to pass a clean debt relief bill when the deficit threatened to get out of hand. He passed several tax increases.

Does that mean that Zombie Reagan is not the answer to the GOP's prayers?  Today, would the Party's Bachmanns, Palins, Pauls and Wests just as soon put a bullet through his rotten RINO brain?

Voucher schools: 'That'll larn ya!'

Oy vey!  According to voucher school curricula, Klansmen were moral "reformers," literary titan Mark Twain was "both self-centered and ultimately hopeless," and big-headed dinosaurs breathed fire on men. 

Can we just hand they keys of global leadership to the Chinese now in a friendly official ceremony, so that later they'll remember how nice we were and take it easy on us?  There's no point in dragging out our inevitable, embarrassing decline into an ignorant backwoods theocracy.

Poll: Egyptians Don't Want Theocracy

About seven in 10 Egyptians said clerics should advise national leaders on legislation. In comparison, 14 percent said religious leaders should have full authority in creating laws and 9 percent said they should have no authority.

The findings, announced Tuesday (June 7), come from the United Arab Emirates-based Abu Dhabi Gallup Center, which monitors attitudes of Muslims worldwide.

Even as they seek a limited advisory role for clergy, most Egyptians (67 percent) want religious freedom as a provision in a new constitution. A much higher percentage (92 percent) say freedom of speech should be included, and slightly more than half want a new constitution to include freedom of assembly.
