Global Warming is Real. Rick Perry is a Fake.

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/gwrealrpfake.jpg

As the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry has refused to do anything to stop his state’s disproportionate contribution to global warming. What’s more, Governor Perry has ridiculed those leaders who have tried to confront the problem. Global warming has scientifically been linked to bigger and more frequent wildfires. Over all the years that Rick Perry has been in the Governor’s Mansion in Austin, he has acted to increase the risk of extreme wildfires. Now 852 Texas homes have been destroyed in only 48 hours. Rick Perry has fiddled while Texas burns.

Republican politicians in Washington D.C. have been complaining that working Americans are declaring “class warfare” simply by asking that their Social Security and Medicare be left alone, but statements like this one from Paul Broun show that the class warfare has already been declared – not by the poor, but by the wealthy, hiding from reality in their gated communities.

Is Iraq An American Asset Now?

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/peacemccotter.jpg

When Thaddeus McCotter calls Iraq an asset, he’s referring to it as if it’s a piece of property owned by the United States. Such an unwise statement is unbecoming a candidate for President, as well as being inaccurate.

Proud Gay Men Against Michele Bachmann

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/proudgaymenbachmann.jpg

A nation that oppresses people on the basis of sexual orientation is intolerant of other forms of noncomformity as well. Michele Bachmann’s crusade against marriage for gay and lesbian couples is a concern for intelligent heterosexuals as much as anyone.

Are You One? Are You One Of The Not Ones?

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/lincolnsavetheunionbtn.jpg

It’s the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – a leader who was killed as he was helping workers to organize in Memphis, Tennessee. I was thinking of the idea of union as I read about the protests across America today, so many people coming together with the same idea, and an image of another assassinated leader, Abraham Lincoln came to mind.

No Fly Zone An Idea Whose Time Has Come, Back In The 1990s

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/nbfolibyabutton.jpg

Moammar Qaddafi is being brutal to his own people, yes. There is no good justification for his actions, but brutal crackdowns are taking place in other nations as well – Bahrain and the Ivory Coast, for example. The United States is planning war in Libya, but not in those other nations, for one reason: Libya has massive amounts of oil, and the other nations do not.
