An Important Segment Of Palin’s Emails Overlooked? »

How much have you heard about the death threats revealed in Sarah Palin’s emails since their release? Probably not much, I would wager.

Killing Over One Torched Koran? **UPDATEDX2** »

* Bumped Up * Update below the fold. I could barely believe my eyes when I saw this headline, “Afghans Angry Over Florida Koran Burning Kill UN Staff.” This is not a joke. If it were, it would be a sick one, but the reality is much, much worse. Indeed, a mob of over 20,000 [...]

Major Hasan’s Major Pass (Updated) »

Or should I say, “passes.” More on that below, but as we all now know, a small number of Egyptians have forced out their ruler for 30 years, Mubarak.

Birthers! Truthers! Mama Grizzlies! Tea Partiers! »

* Bumped Up * (Or the more offensive, homophobic term for Tea Partiers.) Crosshairs! Targets! The list could go on of the labels attached to groups of people or concepts by the media when they want to discount, demean, belittle, discourage discussion, demonize a group, or frame the issue how they want it to be, [...]

My Stupid, Moronic, Lying Grandstanding… »

Back stabbing, Race baiting, representative, Jim Clyburn, is jumping on the Democratic-fueled baseless claim that political rhetoric was to blame in the recent tragic shooting in Tucson, Arizona. Bear in mind, there is ZERO evidence to support the instantaneous claim that Sarah Palin and the Tea Party were to blame for this attack against the [...]

How Palin Is Responsible For Rep. Giffords Being Shot »

Or, as I like to call it, “Palin Derangement Syndrome On Steroids.” No doubt, you have already heard or read that many in the media made the leap that Gov. Sarah Palin is responsible for this assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, one of the truly good politicians. Yes, because Gov. Palin had a map [...]

The Right To Vote, The Right To An Education »

Recently, the United States celebrated the 90th anniversary of women’s right to vote. That right was won by the significant efforts of a number of women, many of whom were jailed, beaten, and starved, fighting for this right. We honor them, and all that they have made possible for us 90 years later. Now we [...]

In the recent special on an “honor killing” in Texas, an activist, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, spoke out about the treatment of women in Islam.

The Tale Of One Honor Killing In The United States »

This is a disturbing issue, one I have addressed before, but sadly, one that continues to rear its ugly head. It is hard to believe this is happening here, but it is (h/t to Harp for mentioning this series). Let me warn you, this is not for the faint of heart, to put it mildly. [...]

Fear Itself Folo »

Some readers of this blog took exception to my post titled “Fear Itself,” which was published on April 6. I’d like to address the objections. Protest is the American way. The health care bill, a massive piece of legislation, had many elements which some could find objectionable. Mandates are worrying, as is the fear that [...]
