Welcome to the site
Welcome to the newly uploaded website, RageAgainstTheRight.com. This web site will serve two primary functions.
The first will be to educate people in terms of giving them news that you really can't get from the mainstream corporate media.
Many on the Right consider the media to have a progressive liberal bias - but in fact the opposite is true. From the way the media covered the Bush/Kerry Presidential campaign, to the lack of news surrounding Bush's illegal use of propaganda (i.e. paying 3 separate journalists with tax dollars to push his agenda, submitting fake, scripted commercials as news stories to air on various media outlets, having a fake reporter lob softball questions to Bush in the press corps, and on and on...), to unbelievable laziness in terms of investigating White House use of torture, environmental policy, social policy and civil rights, the lack of reporting on the criminals in Washington is unacceptable, and does us all a disservice.
My aim will be to gather news and facts from various independent, small yet reputable media outlets, and get them to anyone who is denied reality due to lack of coverage. I'll post everything I can on different topics in this blog you'll never hear by watching NBC Nightly News. This current administration and it's supporters do at least one disservice to most Americans daily, and I believe lack of knowledge is the only reason why people keep voting them in. I will do my tiny part to change the education level so people start voting for their best interests, instead of bumper sticker slogans.
The second objective will be to link other progressive web sites, and data they share with the world daily, to enable people to understand where progressives are coming from, what we stand for, and why we're starting to scream like hell from the roof tops. I should mention, as you paw through the site, that it is still very new, and my goal will be to add information almost daily.
However, don't take this web site's word as absolute truth. Look things up yourself - Google the very things I'm talking about and do your own reading. Some of the stuff here may seem incredibly biased and unbelievable - until you realize you weren't exposed to the story in the Washington Post, or you missed the latest vote on the Senate floor, or you didn't watch the documentary that supports exactly what I'm saying here with hard facts. If you think I misstated something, email me. I'm going to make mistakes and want to correct them.
Please note that this site is not an attack against all Republicans, or even Republicans in general. It's aimed at Right-Wing conservatives, and despite who represents the Republicans these days, there is a small difference. Not all Republicans are Right-Wing conservatives, and not all Right Wingers are Republican. I have friends who vote Republican, and they're actually fairly liberal people. They're just completely misguided :-)
If you ARE a Right Wing Conservative however, I AM attacking you. I'm not here to be civil, to tone down my language, to be nice, or to really even give you a chance to speak. I hate your philosophies, resent your assaults on Democracy, and will therefore do everything I can, every single day, to silence your voice and crush your ideology with facts, science, reason and open thinking.
Your ideology and your President are missing all of the above at this point, and I truly believe you're needlessly making millions of people's lives incredibly difficult on a daily basis.
You have 50,000 AM radio, television stations, magazines and web sites to go to where your uninformed, sheep-like, cookie-cutter opinion is praised daily through scare tactics, misinformation, and outright racism, sexism and homophobia. If you don't like what is said here, go join the sheep herd, or talk to the boys at the country club. It's time you feel some of what we on the left and in the center have been feeling for years. Your soundbyte slogans about loving or leaving America, or saying we're unpatriotic for holding our government accountable is offensive, and it's complete bullshit. It's your discourse, and it's the juvenile level you operate on, every single day. We don't hate America - we hate your version of America, and we're just about at the breaking point.
And that brings me to my final prefaced point - whether you're progressive or conservative, you have to realize one thing about my ideology: I'm not a stereotypical liberal. I'm not a tree-hugger, I don't wear tie-dye, and I don't have a giant peace bumper sticker on my car. I'm not gentle about politics - I'm bitter, sarcastic, and I've just about had it with the politics of those on the Right, and hypocrisy they spew on a daily basis.
I'm the kind of person who fights back - who doesn't believe in everyone holding hands and singing, and that visions of world peace are nice in theory, but certainly never possible. I'm the kind of progressive who believes in a better quality of life through education, science, dissent, questioning the government, holding them accountable, and fighting for the general quality of life for every living person, whether or not they're black, Hispanic, female, male, white, gay, straight, or even from Alabama. I believe in channeling anger and frustration into action. This web site is my way of stopping myself, and perhaps some of you from going completely insane.
With all of that said, I welcome you not only to my world, and to my perception - but the perception of tens of millions in this country, and exponentially more around the world. Welcome to RageAgainstTheRight.com

Thanks for all the effort you put in here. It really does help me. I gave up watching the news and your site and others helps me keep it all straight.
