The diary "The Stunning Ignorance of Kossacks About Guns" is false advertising. The title has no relationship to the text, which is overwhelmingly truthful--but irrelevant--information. In fact, this diary is designed to advance three fantasies of pro-gun advocates.

The United States is a republic, not a democracy. We elect lawmakers to represent us. The main reason why a republic works better than a democracy is that legislation is usually too complicated for average citizens to understand all the benefits and burdens, and more important, it is impossible for average citizens to know the politics behind any compromise. That's why we need to trust the progressive champions in Congress to fight for and support the best deal they can get. Progressive Senators and Representatives overwhelmingly supported the "cliff" deal. They knew what they were doing.

Kudos to NEWSONE.com which ran a story about a neo-confederate speech delivered by Ron Paul:

Ron Paul has made no secret of the fact that he thought that the South was right in the Civil War. Here he is giving a speech in front of a giant Confederate Flag about why he believes the North was wrong in the Civil War and why the South was right.

Since the election of Barack Obama, I (insert yourself) have been impatient for progress and change.

After eight years of George W. Bush, finally, I thought this would be our time. Obviously I knew that the Republicans in Congress and their billionaire funders would never give up. But after voters made their preferences clear in November 2008, I was not really expecting the historic levels of legislative obstruction and blatant lying that followed. (Continued below...)
