Think Progress makes the case in the affirmative: Newsweek reveals the most concrete evidence yet that this campaign is serving to bolster support for Islamic radicalism abroad. In an interview with the magazine, a Taliban operative going by the name Zabihullah said that, by “preventing this mosque from being built, America is doing us a [...]

Glen Beck And Bill O’Reilly Discuss Violating American Law
May 18th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Democracy, News, War on Terror, america
I sat riveted in my chair for a good 20 seconds before I realized this was one of the most futile exchanges I’ve seen in a while. Debating whether or not American citizens should have Miranda rights is anathema to American ideals. Throwing the baby out with the bath water. I’m amazed that conservative fervor [...]

How Racial Profiling Gets It Wrong All Of The Time
March 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Democracy, Politics, Racism, War on Terror, america
I’m, for one — I know it’s not politically correct to say it — I believe in racial and ethnic profiling. I think if you’re looking at people getting on an airplane and you have X amount of resources to get into it, you get at the targets, and not my wife. And I just [...]

Remembering Vernon Hunter
February 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Political Fringe, War on Terror, america
Who is Vernon Hunter? I wouldn’t have known the answer to that question if it weren’t for a few dedicated writers. They decided to spotlight the real hero of last week’s domestic terrorist attack against an Austin IRS building. Vernon Hunter was a father. He was a husband. He was a Vietnam veteran, who was [...]

Does not give you dumb asses the right to fly planes into federal buildings, killing innocent people! I am getting sick of this crap. The level of stupidity and unaccountability in this country is rising to epic shit level proportions, and it’s becoming a serious problem. Now I don’t want to give that degenerate domestic [...]

Double Standard?
January 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Middle East, News, Racism, War on Terror
From Andrew and the Dish: Bloggers have had a great time exposing the inconsistency on the pro-torture right. Why should Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab be tortured as an enemy combatant while Richard Reid was prosecuted by civilian authorities under Bush? Isn’t the unconscious truth obvious? One has an English name; the other has a very [...]
Just A Thought…

What the hell is wrong with full body scanners? If it enables me to fly unencumbered by the threat of assholes with C-4 in their thongs, then I’m all for it. I’ll take a little discomfort for safety any day of the week. Let’s get on with it TSA. Make it happen!
