A Conservative Explains Why Right-Wingers Have No Compassion | Visions | AlterNet
Great read on how truly weird the truly right wing is. This sums up a lot of it:
"The hard right has never protested the de facto abrogation of much of the Bill of Rights during the last decade. In the right-wing id, freedom is the emotional release that a hostile and psychologically repressed person feels when he is finally able to lash out at the objects of his resentment. Freedom is his prerogative to rid himself of people who are different, or who unsettle him. Freedom is merging into a like-minded herd. Right-wing alchemy transforms freedom into authoritarianism."

I can't see anyway this load of crap doesn't violate several sections of the Constitution. But then, Repugs only love selected parts of the Constitution, so full speed ahead!

Moochers Against Welfare - NYTimes.com
Presumably, then, voters imagine that pledges to slash government spending mean cutting programs for the idle poor, not things they themselves count on. And this is a confusion politicians deliberately encourage.

Senate Passes Payroll Tax Bill Over Broad GOP Opposition | TPMDC
I've mixed feelings about this tax 'cut' since it reduces funds going to Social Security, which can only add, down the road, to arguments that the program is underfunded, blah blah blah, but I think in the current economic situation, it's probably justified and am pleased that a) Obama and Congress were able to get it done and b) that the Repugs folded like a cheap card-table!

Rick Santorum's Anal Sex Problem | Mother Jones
In reference to Jon Stewart's Santorum problem, here's a great article from a year or so ago about why it IS a big problem for Mr Man on Dog. I googled Santorum (I try to at least once a week to click on the 'definition' and help keep it at the top) and discovered that the campaign has followed at least one of the suggestions made in the article; the top link is a paid ad by the campaign. The second 'link' is (as with all the candidates) recent primary results. But, still in first place amid the actual search results is our frothy mix :)

Private Prison Corporation Offers Cash In Exchange For State Prisons
Privatizing prisons makes as much sense to me as privatizing military support functions or espionage functions or.... wait... what? we did what?

If You Push It, They WIll Cave
Why The GOP’s Payroll Tax Cut Cave Is An Even Bigger Deal Than You Think | TPMDC:
But the key is that when Republicans recognized that the public was wise to them — that their tactics were putting a popular policy in jeopardy — they backed off.

Refreshing honesty from a guy who wouldn't know honesty if it kicked his balls up between his ears, which sounds like a resoundingly good idea! :)

Krugman on Conservative 'Reality Aversion'
Severe Conservative Syndrome - NYTimes.com:
How did American conservatism end up so detached from, indeed at odds with, facts and rationality? For it was not always thus. After all, that health reform Mr. Romney wants us to forget followed a blueprint originally laid out at the Heritage Foundation!
My short answer is that the long-running con game of economic conservatives and the wealthy supporters they serve finally went bad.
