For the past 8 years I have had MY patriotism questioned by these chicken hawk motherfrakers.
My father, my uncle, my sister, my brother, my first husband, my second husband, and I ALL served this country in the armed forces. My brother is in Saudi Arabia on his second rotation.
We were/are all Democrats. My dad was a Democratic party official and candidate in PA during the early '70's. He was what you might call a community organizer. And he went out of his way to help Vietnam vets find housing, jobs, and a voice in the system. Imagine....
We have served, and continue to serve our country proudly and well.
McCain, Palin, Bush, Cheney, Rove, and their supporters worked so hard to redefine my family as somehow unAmerican because we have some different visions about our country. Well, screw all of them. They don't deserve any more of our attention. Just shut up. You all belong on the dung heap of history.
It was truly wonderous to watch Obama help bring back what is so great about this country. And truly sad to realize how far down we have gone.
It's time to let the real grown-ups run things....Yes, we can!
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
