“Speaking as the father of a Marine, it seems to me that Trump’s ‘vision’ contradicts everything that the US Military stands for…” (Photo YouTube) The brainwashing of Trump blue collar loyalists by right wing media is on display every day. Speaking as the father of a Marine, it seems to me that Trump’s “vision” contradicts everything that the US Military stands for. Let me explain. That decent plumber who is a former Marine that you always liked, the one who... Read more

Last updated on: August 12, 2016 at 6:27 am By Frank Schaeffer

The 8 Year Slow Motion Lynching of President Obama by the Republicans Ends With the President More Successful and Popular than Ever and… TRUMP as the Evil Ghost Haunting the Party of Obstruction

Last updated on: August 15, 2016 at 2:45 am By Frank Schaeffer

(photo Wikipedia) “How did we get Trump?” a Republican might ask. The answer is quite simple. You created him. Let me explain. While Republican candidates scramble to NOT be identified with Trump, Democrats bathe in the warm glow of success and reliability cast by President Obama. The isolated proudly fact-free mutants living in the Fox News and talk radio twilight zone might be able to ignore the pesky fact that unemployment now stands at 4.9% (lower than when Reagan left...

Here’s the Best Article I’ve Read on Just Why and How Evangelicals Can Deny Everything They Say they believe and Support the Ultimate Anti-Jesus Candidate: Trump

Last updated on: August 8, 2016 at 3:04 am By Frank Schaeffer

“According to the Pew Research Center, 78 percent of white evangelical voters say they would vote for Trump if the election were held today. Trump is now armed with an evangelical executive advisory board, that includes James Dobson, former president of Focus on the Family, and Richard Land, the former president of the Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission.

(photo hillaryspeeches.com) “You’re really not all that interested in state dinners and teas and garden parties?” a twerp male interviewer asked Hillary Clinton in 1979… Today: more of the same. The “trust” issue is still a put down of an “uppity” female and really all about Hillary behaving too much like a man… in other words– SHE’S STRONG, opinionated, tough, like a president in fact. She cares less about “likability” and more about ideas. In other words Hillary is ready to govern.... Read more
