		<description><![CDATA[Time for Obama to string along the LGBTQ community once again! Time for the whole liberal community to blow a fucking gasket over the most insignificant events, because they have been trained to survive on so little sustenance that the mere mention of a plausible &#8220;thumbs up&#8221; to an issue they sort of care about makes [...]]]></description>

This is a subject I am very interested in because it is one of the only systems that we could employ in order to ensure that our legislators do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The result, long seen by anyone even casually paying attention, of the Republican primaries has finally revealed. Mitt Romney will, much like John McCain was, be painted as the archetype of out-of-touch wealth. Which he is, and he definitely should be! He absolutely is a man who has made millions of dollars by exploiting both [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The national horror currently directed at the murder of Trayvon Martin is a reaction that our White supremacist society has when it is occasionally reflected back at us. This is what you&#8217;ve become. This is where your thoughts and actions lead. Your bad-cop fantasies don&#8217;t lead to heroics, but rather the murder of your brothers and sisters.

The politicians may speak endlessly of mandates from the people, or that their elections are messages by the electorate demanding the ever more repressive policies they introduce &#8211; but it&#8217;s demonstrably false. Voter turnout is always low, and polling nearly always shows that popular opinion is against federal opinion. [...]]]></description>
