There is a clash of civilizations going on, and it has nothing to do with the Burlington Coat Factory Community Center. It's more fundamental than Christian vs. Muslim. It's reason vs. fear. Civilization vs. anarchy.
That clash is happening right here in America.
Don't misunderstand me. I don't believe that being a conservative equates with being evil. Over the course of our nation's history, many conservative figures have raised que…

Bill Haslam has been on a crusade scaring away small business and vital jobs for Tennesseans by claiming the state is $1.5 billion dollars in the red and more cuts need to be made to the state's budget. Haslam's analogy of 'Tennessee falling off a cliff' is not a good tone to set when it is necessary to help grow the private sector and not only inject stimulus but also inject confidence in our state's economy.
I recently wrote about this at…

Channel 5 followed me around as I went door to door for the Statewide Canvass Kickoff event today. At one point, reporter Marcus Washington asked me how I felt about republicans claiming that they will win across the board for governor and both state house and senate. My reply was "I think that it's too early to call it, quite frankly".

This is my letter to the editor to the Chattanoogan and Chattanooga Times Free Press, where I explain the deficit in 200 words or less.
Recently, a great deal of concern has been expressed over our deficits. Letters usually blame President Obama or the Democrats for the debt, but fail to address the underlying reason for our staggering deficits: President Bush’s and the Republican party’s tax

So glad to see the paltry number of votes for the challengers to Cooper's district. I hope its the end of these "candidates" and they'll turn their support behind Cooper now, but we know for certain that "one of them" won't because he doesn't understand that he isn't a real Democrat. At least we no longer have to hear about him running with his spam on every teabagger message board around the country now.
In my district, Lincoln Davis had no challenger, but I could not bring

President Obama and House Minority Leader Boehner, square off in White House over Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. NYT: "Mr. Obama vowed that Democrats would extend current income tax rates except for the wealthiest taxpayers. But Representative John A. Boehner ... said the tax cuts should be extended for everyone ... [The President] reminded Mr. Boehner ... that the tax cuts’ architects purposely left the deficit problem to a future administration ... 'I wasn’t there,' Mr. Boehner quickly counter…

I've said it once but I'll say it again......
The Republicans rightly figure the worse the economy is in November, the better they will do at the polls. Dems need to call them out on this, and call them out loudly and repeatedly. The Republicans' hypocrisy on helping small businesses prosper should be hammered by the Dems so everyone understands who's impeding economic recovery for their political purposes.

Andrew Breitbart the man behind the firing of Shirley Sherrod
Andrew Breitbart claims he feels "bad" and "sorry" for what "the media" has put Shirley Sherrod through: "Watching how they've misconstrued, how the media has misconstrued, the intention behind this, I do feel a sympathy for her plight."
Breitbart doesn't feel sympathy, he is incapable of fealing sympathy for Ms Sherrod or anyone else he injures with his malicious lies. He feels sorry for himself, because he did not get " the millag…
