Romans:13 is an interesting read for those needing a Biblical basis for government assistance to the poor and paying taxes. Thanks to Soujourner's for this: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+13&version=NIV

When it comes to lying, the Republicans are going big and going long. I can only hope they'll also be going home.
#4
Dinesh D'Souza remains the purveyor of the lowest . . . There are no kind words . . . Seeking to embody the "Douchetastic" is a waste of human genetic material.
#5
"Fealty" rhymes with "realty".
#6
David Mamet wrote in his screen play "State and Main" that "it's not lying; it's a gift for fiction."
#7
The Earth receives about 174,000,000 gigawatts of sunlight. Obviously, we couldn't harness a decent fraction of that without seriously altering the face fo the planet.

The 13th Commandment? Thall Shall Not Bare Factual Inaccuracies

Obama runs the risk of being a whiner if he points out that the Republicans have blocked him at every move. However, I think they might have a chance to get the message out if team Obama uses the theme that it is much easier to destroy than it is to build, much easier to do nothing than it is to do something. They could use stories that everyone can relate to to illustrate this truth. Then they could illustrate, with a few stories how the Republicans have done this. Finally, they could ask what would Mittens do differently than Obama.

From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
These idiots in Tampa are not patriots. They're "hateriots."
