Just a simple Cherokee trial lawyer, Barkman has been forcing his opinions on others in print since, for reasons that passeth understanding, he was an unsuccessful candidate for state representative in 2002. His philosophy: "If people had wanted me to be nice, they should've voted for me."

Let the Spin Begin

This election was a victory for moderates.

No, it wasn't!

Was too!!

Was not, was not, was not!!!

Both of you shut up!! The Republicans lost because they didn't pander enough to blasphemous religious zealots!

No, you shut up! Republicans lost because terrorists totally brainwashed the voters!

Sigh. I need a nap.

UPDATE: Republicans lost because they abandoned the Will of God (which, coincidentally, is also the Will of Dobson).

No way, dude!

Run for your lives! The Democrats are gonna impeach Bush!! Really!! I mean it!!!

It was the incompetency and corruption, stupid!

Oh, yeah; I definately need that nap now...

Republicans Hate Jesus

Well, that's a bit of an exagerration. Rather, Republican leaders hold in visceral contempt the very con-artists and blasphemers they use to convince Christians to support the GOP's fundamentally anti-Christian (not to mention un-American) political agenda. This should really surprise no one--why do you think that no serious attempt has been made to completely outlaw abortion in the six years the Republic Party has controlled all three branches of government (four if you count FOX News)? Because it's too valuable an issue to lose. And, sadly, the Church has made itself completely subservient to Caesar by blindly following false prophets like the unholy trinity of Dobson, Robertson and Falwell.

UPDATE: Kos has the Tele-Pharisees' latest abomination, a Colorado television ad where (I kid you not) God and Moses speak out against raising the minimum wage. Un-frickin'-believable.

Dr. James Dobson Thinks Pedophilia is a "Prank"

Well-know hypocrite and apostate Dr. James Dobson once again shows his credentials as a shameless hack for the Republic Party by attempting to slough off Mark Foley's sexual predation of young boys as merely a "prank" gone awry. Disgusting.

UPDATE: A lawyer representing one of the pages now says some of his client's IM's with Foley may have had the "element of a practical joke" about them. Not sure exactly what that's supposed to mean; even if the page was joking, Foley was not. There are plenty of guys in prison right now for arranging liasons with undercover officers they imagined were minors. Nor does this let Dobson off the hook; was Foley's drunken raid on the page dorm a "prank" too?

Dick Armey and Me...

Frighteningly enough, we seem to share opinions on Dr. James Dobson and the other tele-Pharisee hacks who have hijacked both Evangelical Protestantism and the Republican Party.
