Specter and Franken, Perry and Palin

Trickle-down economics work perfectly
(if you've been in a coma for the past 30 years)

Arlen Specter has made the wise decision of joining the Democrats. I had wondered why he had stayed with the Republicans for such a long time. He was one of the few pro-choice Republicans, and sided with the Democrats on many other issues. The GOP is a sinking ship, and Specter has wisely abandoned the pedophiles, warmongers, and all out fascists on that doomed vessel. He, like many former Republicans (and other conservatives), has hopped aboard the life boat of science, progress, and the abandonment of failed "Reaganomics".

This switch is very critical, as it puts the Democrats one seat away from having the entire legislative branch under their thumb. If Al Franken gets the Senate seat he's after, the Democrats will be completely immune to Republican filibusters.

I've also recently learned that Obama has a Supreme Court vacancy on his hands. This could potentially give progressives control of the Judicial Branch as well (which is crucial if some capitalist pig decides to litigate against a policy he doesn't like).

Progressive America is extremely close to having all three branches of government.

Oh their God... just imagine a progressive America. An America that is finally caught up with other civilized nations. Just sit and think about the diseases that can be cured, the environmental problems that can be solved (climate change), workers rights, the eventual destruction of the Bourgeois. We can finally become an atheist state like we were meant to be.

Final thoughts.

Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, and Sarah Palin, the bitch governing Alaska, have hinted at secession in response to Obama's so-called "big government" administration. Big fucking deal, I say. Please, secede! Good riddance to them!

If the red states left the union, they would remove science and reason from their government agenda. They would become a third world country in a matter of decades. A real third world nation. (I see America as a civilized third world nation right now, since we have a third world economy and health care system).

Good riddance to Texas, Alaska, and whatever other Jesusland states that decide to leave. Good fucking riddance.
