Wearing my most controversial political opinions across my breasts has never really been my style. I prefer to rely on my big mouth (and writing) to express myself. But there are plenty of people who are more comfortable advertising where they stand via their clothing. Like a woman who is being referred to only as "O," who was wearing the outspoken pro-choice T-shirt shown here when she flew American Airlines recently.

O told the website RH Reality Check that she was confronted by a flight attendant who told her that she needed to speak with the captain before making her connecting flight, because her t-shirt was "offensive." The captain said that she shouldn't have been allowed to board in the first place and would have to change before boarding her connection. As a result, she ended up missing that second flight. I smell a protest!!

Jeremiah Wright is so 2008. Look, I don’t support this man and his incendiary rants, but he is old news. Nothing about this dated story is relevant. This story didn’t even get much traction four years ago. Obama cut his ties with Wright’s church during the last campaign and has not looked back. I’m pretty sure he has not been secretly skyping with Reverend Wright to get his church on. Let’s focus on issues and character and values and action. Mud slinging is messy business.

Any of my regular readers know that I get some hate. Just take a look at the comments section of most of what I write. Unfortunately, it goes with the flow of being a female conservative commentator. It’s not fun to be called names for presenting my viewpoints, but it is what it is, and I don’t let it bother me. 

It could even be considered a badge of honor -- a horrible, horrible badge of honor, but one that marks a True Conservative™. For some strange reason, people feel okay verbally attacking and threatening women that happen to align themselves with the Republican Party. As many attacks as I’ve personally experienced, they don’t begin to touch what some of my sisters in arms go through.

Politicians don't play nice.

That's a fact. Still, Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker blasted President Obama for running negative ads against Mitt Romney.

During an interview on Meet the Press, the Democrat and Obama supporter criticized the president's re-election team for it's attack ads on Bain Capital, a troubled company which Mitt Romney co-founded and once ran. Basically they are kicking out the message that Romney is a corporate exec who cares more about the bottom line than American jobs. Well, Booker found the whole stance "nauseating."

I don’t recall a presidential announcement to proclaim support of straight marriage. I don’t recall waking up one morning declaring I am straight. Why are we still talking of marriage equality in 2012? Please don’t talk to me about the sanctity of marriage. The likes of John Edwards, Larry Craig, Mark Sanford, Mark Souder, and Tim Mahoney have already made a mockery of marriage vows. Don't talk to me about homosexuality being a sin. I have seen firsthand the worst iteration of this mentality. Have we not yet determined that all citizens of the United States deserve the same rights? Keep in mind that I am in an interracial marriage, one that my state did not see as legal until 1976 when the Supreme Court forced it to. As a North Carolinian, the gay marriage wound is raw for me. It shall be interesting to see how Obama's recent support of gay marriage turns the election in my state, one that he narrowly won in 2008.

When a new president takes the oath of office, he gets to change things up from his predecessor. He gets to pick his own cabinet members and other advisors, he redecorates the Oval Office and his family’s living quarters, and in modern times, he gets to redesign the White House website to suit his tastes. 

Part of this President’s website redesign apparently included Obama inserting himself into the biography of every president since Calvin Coolidge (except Gerald Ford, for some reason). At the end of each section on a particular president in the last 100ish years, there’s now a “Did You Know” section relating some achievement of that predecessor to the current president.

Sarah Jessica Parker with son JamesCelebs aren't being shy about throwing their support behind their fave presidential candidate ASAP. First, George Clooney made massive headlines for his Obama re-election campaign fundraiser. Now, Carrie Bradshaw Sarah Jessica Parker is getting involved. She announced a new contest for campaign donors with the grand prize being tickets for two to attend a fundraiser at Parker and hubby Matthew Broderick's home in NYC on June 14. The event is being called "A New York Night" with Obama, our FLOTUS Michelle Obama, and SJP. Plus, the winner scores tickets to a Mariah Carey concert. Uh-whaaa?! 

How cool! I've always fantasized about running into the Parker-Brodericks. Maybe we'd chat over some Jack's Stir Brew coffee or commiserate over the ridiculous line at Magnolia Bakery. But this would be even more amazing! Starstruck Sex & the City fangirl-dom aside, I'm also impressed with SJP's rationale behind the fundraiser.

Man, some people just don't know when to quit.

Like the "birther" conspiracy theorists who'll jump on any and every piece of misinformation they can find and broadcast it as proof that Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States.

Nothing, not even the release of his long-form birth certificate, seems to put them off. And even though their arguments are as pointless and nonsensical as Newt Gingrich's ridiculous "Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior" remarks, those squeaky wheels still get lubed up with attention.

So I'm not surprised that they're all hopping up and down again, waving an author's bio of Obama from 1991 around in the air like a victory flag. Oh boy, we've really got him this time!!

I can just see them salivating when they first read these words...
