NC Legislators Propose Banning Prediction of Sea Rise

21. Where's the Malleable Middle in all of this?

The ones Obama values so highly?

To be honest, I'm still a little fried from 8 years of W, and Obama didn't deliver, IMO, the "hope and change" the country needed (but yes, he's better than McCain...). Then came the 2010 battle, which Rs won. Then came the Wake County School Board elections, in which Dems defeated a particularly nasty Teabagger for chairperson. Then there's fracking -- the Rs want to drill the ever-loving-shit out of this state. Then Amendment One. And Planned Parenthood and Occupy rallies. And those are just the biggies that are coming to mind. Oh, then there's preachers who think it's OK to beat gay children, and preachers who think homosexuals should be put behind electric fences. And a recent high-profile cross-burning. So yeah, the burden can't ALL be on "progressive people," even though we'll be out there, as usual...
