Not all Muslims are blood-thirsty terrorists who want us dead. Many are just as goodhearted and respectful of life as the next person. Case in point? The guy who discovered the Times Square bomb in the first place.
I mean, I don’t believe every pseudo-Christian is an ignorant, war-loving racist, but I could see where people would get that impression.
While somewhat humorous, I can definitely see where this could be a problem.
Here is a photo gallery of other examples.
The US isn’t the only place where we kick those who are already down.
Surprisingly – and somewhat sickeningly – you can marry your cousin in most of the US. I mean, outside of the South anyway.
And yet we think we’ve got a handle on things.
I heard this awhile back and just was thinking on it. From the age of Reagan to that of Bush the Lesser Sikhs were not allowed religious expression in the US military.
The all (Hate) Jesus all the time party endorsed religious persecution of a non-Christian faith all while saying words like “freedom” without allowing it for persons who did not look and believe as they did.
Nothing surprising there, just another example of conservative hypocrisy.

Know why we’re getting our butts kicked in science and technology? Know why the newest gadget is merely an updated Newton and people think that’s a good thing?
This nation needs more geeks. I just got my kid some Star Wars toys and we watched Life last night before his bath. I’m doing my part. What about you?
Here we go.
Well-meaning, but misinformed parents are helping to create a measles outbreak in western Canada because they won’t vaccinate their kids.
I envision a future much like the one in “12 Monkeys” where Jenny McCarthy is Shiva, the Destroyer of Worlds.
While neither Puerto Rico nor Iranian, I can totally get the gist of this article.
I mean, I’m pretty light skinned, but you can obviously tell I’m not full Anglo. And it bugs me to fill out forms as “white” when I sure the hell aren’t getting the full white boy treatment in this world. I’ve got a chip on my shoulder for sure, but I didn’t put it there myself.
Or, as the article puts it:
“When I was applying for college, I actually looked for the box to mark Iranian,” he muses, “and I went to my counselor and I said, ‘There’s no Iranian box’ and they go, ‘Well, you’re white.’ I go, ‘What do you mean I’m white?’ I took all the insults growing up — camel jockey, towel head, all this other stuff — and all I had to say was, ‘Dude, I’m white!'”
One of the hardest things my mom ever did was to invest the time to study for – and pass – her citizenship test. For an immigrant to learn our system of government so completely, and to HAVE to do so to gain the citizenship we all take for granted, is a lot of work. History.com has this citizenship quiz online. I’ve said for years that you shouldn’t be able to vote in this country until you can pass a citizenship test. Here’s a small taste of what you would need to know to do so.
I would imagine we’d have a lot less teabaggers in this nation once they learned how this nation really ran and why.
