As a liberal I am pro-hunting. My brother-in-law hunts, as does his family. It's deer season here and i think that since i eat meat that i should get my hands dirty, field-dressing a deer. I think everyone should know where their food comes from, and how to cook it. I don't know that i'd raise my own chickens but i've seen people do it and their chickens were in their yards eating grass and bugs. I don't know if i have the right tools to cut my deer down into steaks and a roast, but i'd try. I have Cutco knives close to hand.
I shop at Whole Foods. I prefer that my food not be full of antibiotics, hormones high-fructose corn syrup and saline solutions. I think that the meat available at Walmart is of mediocre quality, I know it's not cheap to shop at Whole Foods in Hinsdale Illinois, but the quality is worth the time cash and effort it takes to get there. I'd shop at a Whole Foods Indiana if they weren't in the vicinity of Indianapolis.

Yo, tea partiers, a moment, please?
What can the tea party do for me; a thirtysomething atheist, unemployed woman, who doesn't want to have children.... Can you help me get a job? What can you offer me that i cannot get from the Democrats?
Why is it wrong to want to close Guantanamo and end use of tortures like waterboarding? Where were you hyperpatriots when Bush II was declaring wars he couldn't pay for, giving his ultrarich friends tax cuts he couldn't pay for?
Why is it that it's ok for Rush Limbaugh to want President Obama to fail? It was unpatriotic, unamerican and allegedly treasonous to question the actions of President George W. Bush, is it not? Is it because Obama is black; would it be different if his last name was Smith, or Jones, or Martinez?
How dare YOU call yourselves "grassroots" when you call to privatize Social Security,; reduce or eliminte the minimum wage*; end OSHA, and demand that gay people and single women submit to invasive exams to prove virginity before being teachers?
How do you call yourselves small government conservatives when you want goverment to monitor every pregnant woman to make sure that her pregnancy ends the way YOU WANT IT --to end with the birth of a live baby, regardless of the wishes of the woman and her doctor??
Why are you ONLY now pitching a bitch that Obama wants to end wars we AS A COUNTRY can't afford, end tax cuts we cannnot afford, and end other bad things your homeboy Dubya did?
What's up with your extreme pro-life agenda? What gives you the right to tell me how i have to spend my money, and why do i have to lose access to birth control because you don't approve of it?
What's with that crazycake Christine O'Donnell and masturbation? Can you PROVE measurable harm to another person caused whenever i use my vibrator, or watch porn?
And for the love of cupcakes, what is it with you people and "smears" when you are caught on tape spreading bullshit? What makes it a smear when your candidates are DUMB enough to put pictures on THE INTERNET of themselves in Nazi uniforms? Why is it a smear when your quotes are quoted on Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow, when its coming from your mouth or your writing? OWN your shit. Own your writing and your quotes for fuck's sake! What the fuck am i doing wrong here?
Am I wrong? What don't I get about the tea party? Is there an untruth in these questions i've asked?
Maybe I watch waaaaaayyyyyy too much MSNBC. Maybe the news sources I've read are wrong.... any volunteers to tell me where i've got it wrong? Anyone want to help me out?

Be the truck, Democrats!!!
There's some fuss over Democrat congressman Alan Grayson's ad that calls his opponent Taliban Dan. I'm the Depressed Indianan and I approve these message in this blog. It's time to start calling the teapartiers, Conservatives, and the Republicans on their shit. For too long they make us look bad, and we let them. We have been called unpatriotic, treasonous, useless, foolish, and several other derogatory terms. Remember?
It's unpatriotic to question the president's motives, and Britney Spears said so for crying out loud. Remember what happened to the Dixie Chicks when they said they were sorry George W Bush was a Texan?
They say this is a "Christian" nation when there is a line in the constution about no religious tests. I've seen the letters in my local paper, claiming this is a Christian nation, wanting to outlaw other religions. I'm an atheist, and i have set foot in Protestant churches. I spent a lot of sundays in a Baptist Church. I read the Bible and do not believe it was divinely inspired, so much as it was written in a time when humanity did not understand how the world around them worked. Religion and Gods are the pitiful attempt to explain how the world worked when SOAP was cutting edge technology. Your Bible repeatedly contradicts itself. You're taking moral advice from people who think women are property and that couldn't conceive of computers, cellphones and Facebook.
They say Atheists can't be good citizens. I get to read this dribble in my local paper too, about how America is Christian. I'd bet my favorite purse that most of these clowns have never met an atheist. Theocracies, like Saudi Arabia and Iran can be scary places to live, there are religious police and your freedoms are limited. We need to call them on their shit. Every last word, everything is on tape, in Facebook, crosposted to blogs. Everytime they call us unamerican traitiors, socialists. Every motherfucking time. It's not a smear to be called on the shit you throw.
Christine O'Donnell is running for Senate and CANNOT think of Supreme Court Cases she disagreees with offhand! I think Kelo vs. New London was a bad calll AS WELL as Citzens United. I also disapprove of the current attempts to dismantle Roe v. Wade ... A fetus may very well be a person but time has to pass before it can survive outside of the womb, at least 26 weeks. A fetus does not own the body of a woman, and it is the woman who should always come first. I have no right to make decisions on how others conduct their lives, and they don't get to tell me how many children i should have.
I don't get what it is with people like Ken Buck and his personhood amendment to make the Pill illegal. I guarantee that women will leave Colorado in carpools to get the Pill. This brings back the possibilty of back-alley abortions, more abandoned babies, more women dying in childbirth, more people having children they can't care for that might be abused or neglected ...
Who is Ken Buck to tell me when I have to have a child? Who the fuck does Sharron Angle think she is wanting women who have been made pregnant by abusers and rapists to have to carry that reminder with them? Why are there so many people who have time to care what a person or couple does in the privacy of their bedroom, for crying out loud??
Where do they FIND these people and why is Jesus always talking to them? I also wonder why Jesus doesn't talk to me, and if he did ... shit might motherfucking change!
Hi, Jesus, I'm ready whenever you are send me a messagge!
Sarah Palin's favorite cause seems to be filling her piggybank. This is probably not going to be a politically correct Blog. I just can't help but wonder what the fuck's going on here. Sarah Palin pimps her books and sells pictures of herself!

A few words on Taxes
I'm so over "bipartisanship." If I could go two or threee years withou hearing the word bipartisanship, I might be able to get over the stabbiness the sound of the word gets me. I should just call it the b word i'm that sick of it.
More specifically, I don't get why President Obama is trying for bipartisanship with such unreasonable people as this current crop of Republicans who would dancc on the smoking remains of the White House if they thought that by doing so it would get them a couple more points in their approval ratings. Take this tax cut thing, Democrats want it for those making less than $250,000 per year and Republicans want to keep the cuts for those above that 250K mark, and not go back to the 39% under Bill Clinton.
So here's my solution: The tax cuts expire, taxes go up 3 percent and everyone pays a little more. Nobody gets any goddamn thing, 3-4 percent and to hear the GOP/ FoxNoise crew tell it we were looking at a 20% hike. If you can't compromise like adults, nobody gets shit. No more compromise, no bipartisanship, no nothiiiing! It was a poorlythought out law that wasn't paid for and it is time to say bye-bye. We can't afford it.
Since I do not have a job, there is no income tax to be taken from a paycheck, but i DO pay sales tax whenever i go to the store and buy something. If i buy a Diet Coke from the gas staion when i pick up some ice, sales tax.
I pay sales tax at the mall if i get a Cinnabon or a pretzel from Auntie Anne's, or if i get a corndog. Whatever i get there's always some tax. Godiva Chocolate, Hello Kitty notebooks, toothpaste, laundry soap, tax, tax, tax.
There was probably sales tax figured into the price of the Santa Picture that waas taken with me , my sister, and my cousin this past Saturday.
Theres sales tax when i buy cat food, Doritos or a birthday card. I don't have much, but i am paying SOMETHING. Everybody does. Very few thing are truly nox-taxable these days, Illegal immmigrants pay sales tax at the grocery and dollar stores. Paris Hilton pays sales tax on jewelry or a new phone or a pair of Louboutins.
TAANSTAFL, people.
