When a homophobic Florida couple wrote in to the advice columnist this week asking about how to deal with gay neighbors, Abby's response was short, sweet and devastating — and probably not at all what the couple expected. "Unhappy in Tampa" just moved to a new neighborhood, and despite being welcomed into their gay neighbors' homes, they did not return the favor because they "do not approve of their lifestyle choices." They then complained that others in the neighborhood began to exclude them from the social circle and — gasp — even called them bigots! The couple sought Abby's validation for their actions, but instead the famed advice columnist shut them down completely, and reminded all of us what's really important. Abby debunked the couple's outdated notion that being gay is a "choice" before addressing their hypocrisy head on. "I find it interesting that you are unwilling to reciprocate the hospitality of people who welcomed you and opened their homes to you, and yet you complain because you are receiving similar treatment," she wrote. Abby could've easily dropped the mic there, but she went on to include an important lesson. It was clear that the couple missed their old neighborhood that was filled with "people like them" and where "different people" stayed quiet. In response, Abby wrote that their new surroundings offered them a huge chance for growth — "Don't blow it," she wrote. And that's a good thing for everyone to keep in mind. 'Dear Abby' was started by Pauline Phillips in 1956 under the pen name Abigail Van Buren, and is now written by her daughter Jeanne Phillips. Since its founding, the nationally syndicated column has dealt with a variety of subjects daily, from lighter topics like social etiquette to serious ones like rape and abuse. Abby's responses are honest, straight–forward and they avoid sugarcoating the truth, but staunch take–downs of homophobia aren't common. (Although the column has voiced support for same-sex marriage before.) That's as good a reason as any for the LGBT and ally community to applaud Dear Abby today. unkI can't wait § Majorityparty2014-03-09 23:52:32What same job, they can't do most of 2014-03-09 23:46:56the high paid jobs. Duh...and I am a woman.unkFrom 'I don't want any part of Obamacare' to 'It lie______detector2014-03-09 23:46:31From 'I don't want any part of Obamacare' to 'It's a godsend' Last year, TIME published a massive special report, "Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us," detailing just about everything that is wrong with the nation's health care system. Central to that story were Stephanie and Sean Recchi, an Ohio couple with two kids who had just started up a new business, and who had just been struck by Sean's aggressive and expensive cancer. Here's Stephanie Ricci last October: I don't think Obamacare will help us. I don't want anything to do with it," Stephanie Recchi told me a week after the launch of HealthCare.gov on Oct. 1. "I hear a lot of bad things about it—that it doesn't cover pre-existing conditions and it's too expensive," she added, referring to what she said were "television ads and some politicians talking on the news. Just a lot of talk that this is a bad law." Did I mention she's an Obama hater? Nonetheless, she tried and tried again to navigate HealthCare.gov, to no avail. That made her hate the whole idea of Obamacare even more, but she needed health insurance, and so went to her insurance agent. "When they came to my office, Stephanie told me right up front, 'I don't want any part of Obamacare,' " recalls health-insurance agent Barry Cohen. "These were clearly people who don't like the President. So I kind of let that slide and just asked them for basic information and told them we would go on the Ohio exchange"—which is actually the Ohio section of the federal Obamacare exchange—"and show them what's available." What Stephanie soon discovered, she told me in mid-November, "was a godsend." "Here I get full protection for $566, compared to no protection for almost $500," Stephanie says, referring to her old plan that had cost $469 monthly and that MD Anderson had scoffed at. "This is wonderful. [...] No, we don't get MD Anderson, but we do get the Cleveland Clinic and lots of other good care," Stephanie says. "We understand that." Amid the likely attacks from his opponents that he's taking away patients' favorite doctors and hospitals, Obama has to hope that others come to share her attitude. unkkey bullet points supported by tea party Republi lie______detector2014-03-09 23:44:49key bullet points supported by tea party Republicans: Conservatism, the irreplaceable hub of our Nation, our Christian Faith, and the highest standards of western culture and technology. America First: America before ANY foreign or alien influence and the removal of the United Nations from our borders. We condemn the U.N. and advocate withdrawal of the United States from membership in the U.N. The Constitution Of The United States: as originally written and intended! The finest system of government ever conceived by man. Free Enterprise: private property and ownership of business. Positive Christianity: the right of the American people to practice the Christian Faith, including prayer in school. Oh and on guns… The fact is to all you government officials considering confiscating guns, what you are considering is TREASON against the Constitution and Citizens of the United States of America.

I pulled them from the Traditionalist American Knights—of the Ku Klux Klan. unkChicago Homicides Down Drastically In 2013 To Fe lie______detector2014-03-09 23:44:14Chicago Homicides Down Drastically In 2013 To Fewest Murders Since 1965 CHICAGO (AP) — Following a year when Chicago led the nation in homicides with more than 500, the city's Police Department said Wednesday that in 2013 the city recorded the fewest killings since 1965 and saw its overall crime rate fall to level not seen since 1972. The city, which ended the year with a 16 percent drop in crime, saw the numbers of violent crimes, including robbery, aggravated battery and criminal sexual assault drop significantly — some by double digits— as well as drops in burglary and motor vehicle theft. But it has been the city's homicide rate, especially the toll on young people, that has captured national attention. "We are making significant progress by putting additional officers in high-crime areas, using intelligence to prevent retaliatory shootings, moving officers from administrative positions back to the streets," Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said in a statement. One reason Chicago has been in the national spotlight is that in recent years it has recorded more homicides than larger cities like New York City and Los Angeles. That was again true in 2013, with New York recording 333 homicides, the lowest number since comparable record-keeping began in 1963. And, according to the Los Angeles Times, as of Dec. 28, there were 250 homicides in LA, compared with 298 the year before. The department and other city officials have pointed out that the drop in homicides, shootings and other violent crimes coincides with changes in police strategies, including tactics targeting violent street gangs that are responsible for the vast majority of the city's gun crimes and, significantly, about $100 million in overtime pay for hundreds of officers deployed nightly to high crime areas. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has said that besides putting more officers on the street, various programs for young people have played a role in bringing the numbers of violent crime down. At a recent news conference, for example, the mayor said that a record 20,000 young people were involved in the city's summer jobs program. "Not one of those kids was affected by gun violence this summer, and I don't believe for a minute that if they didn't have jobs they would be safe," he said. unkRepublicans want to dial back the 'war on women' lie______detector2014-03-09 23:42:01Republicans want to dial back the 'war on women' talk ... by focusing on abortion If Republicans want to make Todd Akin their poster boy on abortion, they should go right ahead. Here's something to watch for at the Republican National Committee meetings: A group of RNC members is introducing a "Resolution on Republican Pro-Life Strategy." In essence, it says the Republican Party should encourage candidates to talk more, not less or more sensitively, about their extreme anti-abortion positions: "The Republican National Committee urges all Republican pro-life candidates, consultants, and other national Republican Political Action Committees to reject a strategy of silence on the abortion issue when candidates are attacked with 'war on women' rhetoric," the resolution reads. Somewhere, Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock are probably pumping their fists and cheering. Then again, so are their 2012 opponents, Sens. Claire McCaskill and Joe Donnelly. According to the RNC resolution's sponsor: "Not talking about it has not worked well for us," Barrosse told CNN in an interview. "Not responding has not worked well for us. It's a conversation the party has to have." She considers the past several years of Republican campaigning and lawmaking to have been "not talking about it"? Akin and Mourdock, forced-ultrasound and clinic-closing laws from Texas to Wisconsin to North Carolina? The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act in the House, which could lead to the IRS auditing rape victims? That's "not talking about it"? Dear heaven, what are these people hoping for? Republican candidates who campaign exclusively outside women's clinics, harassing everyone who goes in? But please! Bring it. Be honest—tell us how you feel about exclusions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother. Take it the next step and talk about contraception. Keeping showing voters just where the Republican Party stands on this one. I don't think Democrats will have any problem with that at all. unkRNC Hispanic Outreach Chief Quits, Registers as lie______detector2014-03-09 23:38:58RNC Hispanic Outreach Chief Quits, Registers as Democrat Republicans say he quit a month ago, but it's all over the place today. Moral: Wingnut Republicans are wingnut Republicans, and normal people are normal people, and never the twain shall meet. This guy turned his back on a high-paid, high-profile job and burned his bridges. That's how bad these people are: When Republicans appointed Pablo Pantoja to State Director of Florida Hispanic Outreach for the Republican National Committee, they hoped he would be able to bridge the sizable gap that only expanded during the 2012 elections, when the state’s 4.7 million Hispanic voters supported Barack Obama over Mitt Romney by a 20 percent margin. But after months of inaction by Congressional Republicans on comprehensive immigration reform and stiff resistance by Republican-leaning groups like the Heritage Foundation, Pantoja has had enough; on Monday, he announced via email that he was leaving the party and registering as a Democrat: Friend,
Yes, I have changed my political affiliation to the Democratic Party. It doesn’t take much to see the culture of intolerance surrounding the Republican Party today. I have wondered before about the seemingly harsh undertones about immigrants and others. Look no further; a well-known organization recently confirms the intolerance of that which seems different or strange to them. Pantoja goes on to specifically cite last week’s revelation — that an author of Heritage’s false report on the cost of the Gang of Eight’s immigration bill wrote a dissertation in which he suggested that Hispanics are at a permanent disadvantage because they have lower IQs — as the final straw in his political evolution. Prior to assuming the role of state director, Pantoja served in the National Guard, doing multiple tours abroad in Kuwait and Iraq before returning to the states and getting involved in Republican politics. In 2010 he served as a field director in Florida during the midterm elections.
