We should support good Democratic Websites that generally support this President

[FrenchieCat]

Take a moment to comment on them,
and lists those that you find
so that we can read them.

I'm tired of supporting website that resembles the MSM's crap.

I am not simply interested in reading what is preached to the choir,
but reading positive takes is refreshing.

So it isn't about agreeing with everything this Prez is doing,
but to agree that he is doing his best, and is a fine President
that is bringing change to this country and the world,
and it is positive change, although he ain't simply perfect.

9. Rude Pundit is hilarious

Also, I keep hearing that Wonkette is pretty cool too.

[HopeOverFear]

20. He is. But if you're offended by very explicit and crude language

he might not be for you. He can get pretty nasty, in a very funny way, of course.

25. Jack and Jill is full of homophobia

It has quite a reputation in the LGBT community.

I thought that might be relevant to mention.

[FrenchieCat]

26. You mean like this.....?

The righteous rant of a White Person who appears to have all of the answers
yet their opinion wasn't posted to Jack & Jill?

the black community as a whole is not supportive of the gay community. Some of it is religious, some of it is black men being on the "down-low", some of it just the perceived "shortage" of black men for black women to marry. But whatever it is--and although there are exceptions--there is a real disconnect. This came out during the Prop 8 fiasco here in CA: the largest single demographic voting for Prop 8 (against gay marriage) were African Americans. It was over 70% if I recall correctly. No other group came close to that percentage. Even the Latinos had closer numbers, although they were overall opposed. Whites actually had a majority for gay marriage, even though there were whole sections of SoCal, especially East San Diego County that were sweepingly opposed to gay marriage.


or more like this, where the issue as to how Black people voted,
is not conclusive......

27. Please do not break the rules

Or attempt to have my useful information deleted by hijacking it. What goes on at that website is immaterial to me. I'm addressing only what gets posted to DU. I feel it may be relevant to let others know of anti-liberal sentiments on websites that "Democrats should support". That is all. I have no wish to argue in this forum.

Your problems with Nikki or other websites are your own and have zero to do with the information I am providing here. Please refrain from outside issues, thank you.

[FrenchieCat]

28. Jack and Jill is not a DU website.....

and yet you chose to comment on it.

As for your "opinion" about Jack and Jill,
is that supported in anyway by any quotes from that website,
or are you able to just call the entire website homophobic
because "that's what people say"? :shrug:

[rebel with a cause]

30. Frenchie,

who are you arguing with? I don't see anyone there only you. :eyes:

[LiberalAndProud]

31. Thanks Prism.

I appreciate the information, and the spirit in which it was offered.

35. Your hanging around crazy trees suggest you are not here with good intentions

29. Saved to my favorites. I've been wanting to ask, but didn't know if..

it would be allowed. Thanks for sharing.

Brown Man Thinking Hard, is a MUST READ:

"Make no mistake, Afro America - this IS our moment, nigh the clock ticks while we dawdle.
It's time for us to play our position, and not be the opposition. Seeds this administration is planting will bloom in twenty years in ways we cannot imagine today. The experiences gleaned by the ever-growing number of African Americans in positions of influence at the federal level will open the doors to our community that we didn't even know existed."

Love it!

33. Yeah, booman

is the best!

that warrants daily visits!:bounce:

<snip from today>

Political Animal
by Steve Benen

..."On the Democratic side of the aisle, the list of decorated veterans is arguably a little longer. Take Sen. Jack Reed (D) of Rhode Island, for example. A West Point grad, Reed was an Army Ranger and a paratrooper, and served in the 82nd Airborne Division as an Infantry Platoon Leader, a Company Commander, and a Battalion Staff Officer. He's now a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Reed, then, would seem to meet the political world's standards for "toughness." Regrettably, that probably won't stop draft-dodging neocons from attacking him over remarks like these.

In what was a noteworthy remark precisely because it is made so infrequently, a top Senate Democrats insisted on Sunday that President Barack Obama has been more focused on issues of terrorism than "any other president." Even (yes) George W. Bush.

Appearing on "Fox News Sunday," Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) accused Republicans of applying a double standard to the president for his handling of the attempted Christmas Day airline bombing. While Obama moved swiftly to assess the security implications of the botched attack, and the FBI "immediately questioned the suspect," Reed said, his predecessor was lethargic in handling a botched airline attack of his own.

"When Richard Reid was discovered trying to detonate a bomb on a transatlantic flight, it took President Bush six days to comment, and the comments were more laudatory to the crew," Reed said. "And by the way, we should in fact commend the flight crew and the passengers who really saved a potential disaster. But the situation is such that the president has focused on terrorism and counterterrorism, more than any other president. He took office under the spectra of that. He is taking steps --"
