Progressives understand that all levels of government, in our democratic republic, have a MORAL responsibility to use our commonwealth in ways that protect and empower ALL of us EQUALLY.

The DBC. Filled with privileged families, like the DYC separated by a bridge from the rest of Bell Isle. In what seems like another time, my parents were members. I was there every day all summer...

Grew up close to there in the 50s. I remembered it as the CYO building. Walked by it as my family shopped at a Tom's food store in the block west of it on Mack. Used to play a lot of pick up...

Wolverine – I have to agree, ignorance is NOT bliss. "What you don’t know WILL hurt you"...over and over. Any conservative worth his or her salt knows that the best way to exploit the masses is to...

Oladub – I will sincerely admit that I am not the best read or smartest person who posts to DetroitYes. I continually learn a lot about people by reading what is posted here. There are many useful...

Oladub: Thanks for joining the growing throng of Colbert Conservatives. We have a lot to teach others about the true meaning of conservatism as practiced by Steven Colbert.

Your writing and...

Gee, I am the first to admit that I was shocked by liberal turn of the November elections. I am distraught that unity is now hard to come by in the Grand Old Party. Our great...

As a Caucasian and a Colbert Conservative, I have a problem with liberals. Liberals see “inalienable” rights being denied everywhere. They have a hard time pledging allegiance to this great nation...

As a Colbert Conservative, I feel compelled after watching the cartoon to point out that NOT all freedom is created equal! Deserving people should have MORE freedom than undeserving people. Our...

firstandten – Your comments suggest that there was something unethical or troubling about the process. You want transparency and due diligence? Hogwash! There is a DIFFERENCE between government...

Wow, as a Colbert Conservative I can confidently say reading these posts on this subject has caused me to lose 2 hours of my life I’d like to get back.

Let me say I love Right-To-Work...

Heard it yesterday, and it merely indicates once again that, despite what some may say, the election of our first black President does not mean we are in a post-racial society.

That's what I like about you stinking lefties. You don't get it! So you keep making the same mistakes over and over. :o

As a Colbert Conservative, I feel pressed to share an important TRUTH...

Here's a question not on the test: who was the two-time Congressional of Medal winner who was recruited to build our own brown shirts and march them to the White House to demand that FDR step down...

Abraham Lincoln had some thoughts that probably would put him on the side of OWS and get him labeled by Conservatives as worse than a RINO. :)

“To secure to each laborer the whole product of his...

Interesting discussion. But the original question used the term "White" when from what I am reading the poster really meant WASP. In my mind, that is a significant difference.

Mitt tries to be all things to all voters. Not uncommon among those seeking votes. His 2008 position would have devastated families in the Detroit metro and beyond.

Pump priming is essential...

As with all things, there is a continuum. Extreme Liberals and and extreme Conservatives at either pole and all the variations in between. My experience leads me to believe that conservatives are...

Wow, the debates continue just as hot and heavy as before. I love it. Keep it up. I should come back and lurk more often. There is some great back and forth, with someone occasionally trying to...

As a former Detroiter, and UAW local 51 member [[Lynch Road Assembly) I was awestruck. I yelled at those around me to see the different shots of the city. Those dramatic shots, the positive...

Here’s an oversimplification for you…Religious fundamentalists [[of all faiths) think primarily in terms of shaping behavior so as to “save souls,” and “get into heaven.” The more religions focus on...

When I am not being a Colbert Conservative, I teach non-credit classes to adults for a living. My first history read was James Loewen's Lies My Teachers Told Me. Then I discovered Howard.

Did anyone attend the performance of The Fabulous Ruins of Detroit?

Did anybody go?
