Criticism of Republicans

They all say they're voting for Romney because of his economic policies (tenuous and ill-formed as they are), and that they disagree with him on gay rights. Fine. Then look me in the eye, speak with a level clear voice, and say, "My taxes and take-home pay mean more than your fundamental civil rights, the sanctity of your marriage, your right to visit an ailing spouse in the hospital, your dignity as a citizen of this country, your healthcare, your right to inherit, the mental welfare and emotional well-being of your youth, and your very personhood."" There's a bit more to the quote, but it's the best I've seen so far.

Inspiration

What is inspiration? Is it an automobile rolling off the production line? Is it an empty stage? An empty field? Is inspiration an aircraft lifting off the ground? Is it walking across the stage and shaking the dean's hand? Or is inspiration something that comes from within? Maybe inspiration is the team that designed that automobile. The actors who live and breathe the stage. It's the athletes who play their game on the pristine field. Inspiration is a soldier coming home. It's the feeling of completing something amazing. Inspiration is lift. Poise. Grace. Freedom. Inspiration.
