The argument that “criminals don’t follow laws” is so Alice-in-Wonderland that I can only ask, “What are those right wing strategists smoking? And can I have some?”

In the midst of all the political hurly-burly of our lives, it’s easy to forget how lucky we are to be Americans. A homeless person in America today has ready access to better medical care than the King of England (at that time the most powerful person in the world) did only a hundred years ago.
If a policeman pulls you over, he’s not stopping you to extort money from you. If you criticize the President, you are not going to be snatched off your front sidewalk by a group of non-uniformed men, and then taken to a prison cell where you will be tortured for months or years.And your taxes are not a crushing burden that will keep you forever mired in poverty while aristocrats play polo with your withered heart.
If you are living in America today, you are one of the luckiest people who has ever lived. Truly, we are blessed.
I don’t mind a (tiny) portion of my taxes going to help the poor. What doesn’t seem fair is for me to pay taxes while a wealthy behemoth like General Electric gets away with paying no taxes at all, as they famously did in 2009. As Leona Helmsley once said, “Taxes are for the little people.” Is that the way we want America to be?

You may have heard that SB 49 is about to pass in the Tennessee State House. This bill, often called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, makes it a crime for teachers to acknowledge the existence of homosexuality.
In response, actor George Takei, who played “Mr. Sulu” on the original Star Trek series, is offering a solution. “Don’t say gay. Say Takei!” As in, “I support Takei marriage.” Or, “I’m going to the “Takei pride parade.” Or even, “That is soooo Takei.”
Visit the “It’s Okay to Be Takei” online store for a T-shirt. All proceeds go to charity.
Yay!
Sometimes it seems as though we can make no headway at all, and the forces of fear are taking every battle. In a case like the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” when many Republican senators voted to allow gay men and women to serve openly in the military, you can see that some changes seem impossible, until suddenly, they seem inevitable. Many thanks to “our side” for the long fought battle, and thanks also to the Republican Senators who voted for this change, even though many in their own party will use it against them.

“Don’t ask. Don’t tell,” made sense in its moment. And now that moment is over. Let’s move on now, and offer all of our soldiers they honor they deserve. Here’s the first in a new set of posters. Go to download page.
