Red states suffering more from budget cuts

Not at all healthy to have the administration in power capable of cutting funding to states, since it could bite the other way the next time the opposing party is in power. But at least it should give red staters a clue that cutting programs for the poor isn't in their best interest. Well, one can hope.

62-year-old black grandfather choked and held down by three white men who see his legal firearm

If a group of black guys would just open carry everywhere they can do so legally, I think conservatives might think twice about open carry laws. Hey, play to the enemy's strengths! In the case of conservatives, it's racism.

The Pope's asinine comments on free speech

When the head of an organization has a sordid history of violating free speech says violence against those exercising free speech can be justified, he should consider the fact that those offended by his statement should thus have the right to inflict violence upon him. Moron!

The Violence of Islam

The Sins of Islam

I'm always hesitant to blame an entire people for the sins of a few...but in the modern era, Islam seems to produce most of the worst nutbags. As the saying goes, with or without religion, you have good people doing good and bad people doing bad...but to have good people do bad, that takes religion:

---------

This is a very sad story - and we hate to acknowledge it - but a segment 
of the world population which does not subscribe to our ethics is out to 
eliminate us in order for their perverted philosophy, dating from the 
7th Century, to be victorious. 

Needless to say, this will happen if we let it happen. Doing nothing and 
being "politically correct" will accomplish this in a remarkably short 
time. The UK has been in the forefront of this accommodating process. 
Giving in to unrealistic demands from the immigrants in your country 
will help to speed this process along, Listen to Geert Wilders, Ayaan 
Hirsi Ali and Robert Spencer, Irshad Manji and Oriana Fallaci - they are 
all on Google. It is so easy to obtain the Truth !

It will take a little longer to read but it must be read.
