Isolationist, antisemitic, anti-science, racist, associated with the John Birch Society and prone to believing in conspiracy theories. These are qualities that the Iowa Republican Party seems to find desirable, because they’re enthusiastically embracing Ron Paul’s twisted vision of conservatism: The RPI Revolution? In every election or campaign, there are events and ...

At FrumForum, writer Dennis Sanders says the GOP Should Be Ashamed of AZ’s Anti-Immigration Law. Unfortunately, the GOP is not only not ashamed, they’re lining up to defend this un-American law, and pushing to get similar legislation in other states.

Uh oh. Fundamentalist Christian leader George Rekers, who founded the politically active and virulently anti-gay Family Research Council with Dr. James Dobson, has been caught by a Miami newspaper on vacation with a ‘rent boy’.

Now that Arizona has enacted a repressive law conceived by people connected with white supremacist organizations, what’s the next step? Arizona legislature bans ethnic-studies programs, of course! But wait, there’s more! They’re on a roll. In another controversial shift in state education policy, the Wall Street Journal has reported that the Arizona ...

Disgusting. The social conservatives in the Oklahoma House of Representatives have decided that women who are considering abortions should be forced to undergo an invasive ultrasound procedure, and they’re not going to let a governor’s veto stop them: Oklahoma House Overrides Abortion Restrictions Vetoes. OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma House voted ...

Even one of the farthest right nativist Republicans in America thinks Arizona may have gone a little too far. Former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), who crusaded for tough anti-immigration measures while in Congress, told KDVR-TV that while he supported the new immigration law in Arizona he thought it went too ...

Here go the anti-choice Republicans again; in Oklahoma a gang of GOP lawmakers has tried to pass a series of absurdly intrusive bills designed to intimidate and frighten women out of having abortions — including a bill that would mandate an invasive ultrasound procedure. Absolutely unbelievable! These social conservative creeps are ...

In her speech yesterday to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, anti-science dim bulb Sarah Palin referred to the CRU scandal as “Gore-gate” (even though Al Gore had absolutely nothing to do with it), and said there was “snake oil science involved over the data collection there,” a strangely garbled sentence ...

Yesterday I received several hate mails from those odd people who are desperate to find evidence that I’m “abandoning Israel” (I’m not, but since they can’t find that evidence they’ll just assume it’s true anyway), raving about a story published in Israeli tabloid Maariv claiming that Israeli nuclear scientists are ...

“The last I checked, Sarah Palin is not much of an expert on nuclear issues.” [Video] I have to differ with President Obama. Sarah Palin is not much of an expert on anything, except maybe shooting defenseless animals with high caliber weapons. She’s an empty-headed, platitude-spouting, fanatically religious, determinedly ignorant, anti-science dim bulb.
