If At First You Don’t… Secede?

In my original post-election article (WTF Happened Last Night?), I dealt mostly with the “conservative” echo-chamber’s gentrified punditry class and their misguided Chicken Little reactions to the election. And the subsequent “silver lining” argument from some of these gum-flappers has been just as hollow in the last ten days as it was after Chief Justice [...]

Van Jones Endorsed Website Touts a “Grand Strategy”, Including Mass Civil Disobedience

It may seem strange, but I follow Van Jones, and oddly enough, he follows me back. We had something of an honest conversation awhile back regarding perceptions of him, and how he believes the right wing media machine distorts much of his messaging.

Reflection, Remembrance, and Renewed Resolve

Today marks the 11th anniversary since a group of madmen hijacked four airliners and pulled off the greatest attack on American soil in the history of this nation, resulting in the deaths of thousands and irrevocably altering the course of American history. For those of us who were alive on that day, and who were [...]

Shorter Left: No More God For You! UPDATED: Well, Okay, We’ll Put God Back In, But We’re Gonna BOO Him!

I am not a church going man, but I AM a God fearing man, I guess you could say. I can’t quote scripture, I can’t elaborate on the more subtle lessons of the Bible if I tried. But, I do know God exists, and I do know that we, as humans, were granted indelible rights [...]

Con-nonymous? A Foolish Reporter’s Experiences With Anonymity, Identity, and Online Conservative Political Activism

“…is that it’s anonymous, and it has no memory. There’s no archive, there are no barriers, there’s no registration…That’s led to this discussion that’s completely raw, completely unfiltered.” -Christopher Poole, founder of 4chan.org, on the popularity of his site “You have one identity. The days of you having a different image for your work friends [...]

With the Presidential election less than 90 days away now, it seems as though, well, pretty much everything is approaching a fevered pitch. Here in the world of conservative Internet political activism, one of the ways the heat seems to be increasing is through Internet tricks and pranks. I myself felt the brunt of the [...]
