    For all you Michele Bachman fans out there.

    As a stepchild of the notoriously liberal St. Petersburg Times, it should come as no surprise that this so-called fact checker has a bias against conservatives that's not too hard to spot if one does a little fact checking on their own. The American Spectator : PolitiFact's Fixers...

    barrys DOJ Lied to Congress in the Black Panther Case

    One intimidated voter is all it takes, that's why the legalese states "at least one". The law is black and white on issues such as these. Suppose this tape had been taken in Philadelphia, Miss. and the guys in front of the poll had been wearing a white pointed hoods? Suppose the ONE and only...

    Union workers refuse to build mosque near ground zero

    Well, to get the thing built is the first thing that comes to mind - assuming that's the prime objective. But maybe that's not really the case, as speculated in previous posts and articles. No - that's not the problem. There are issues with the Imam, but those are minor compared to the main...

    Union workers refuse to build mosque near ground zero

    Here's an interesting article that sheds some new light on the GZ Mosque: Ajami: Rauf and Islam's Encounter with America - WSJ.com "The truth is that the trajectory of Islam in America (and Europe for that matter) is at variance with the play of things in Islam's main habitat. A survey by...

    Why Sarah Palin Is Stronger Than You Think

    I was thinking the same thing. Palin would be far more effective in Steele's place, and could be surrounded by some experienced handlers to more effectively direct her considerable talents. I still think the needs to do the Hillary thing, and find a state in the Lower 48 where she can serve a...

    Please Join The Turtle Fan Club

    You got that right - it should have been locked after the first post. Greg - come on now. To his credit, Turtle hasn't gotten into this soup, but his prior snide personal derision and occasional outright accusations have gone a long way towards creating the ill will to start with. But go back...

    Is it a smear campaign, or is it an uprising by a few on the forum who have had endurerd or seen enough of the snarky insinuations, personal insults, unfounded accusations and low-classed dimwitted comments.

    A South Dakota perspective on New York mosque debate

    Calling it a hate campaign might be a stretch considering we were at war with Germany at the time. Fair to the German immigrants or not, the culture a century ago did not promote the kinder, gentler sympathy and understanding of our perceived enemy. Perhaps the prejudice in those days was fueled...

    A South Dakota perspective on New York mosque debate

    From Dictionary.com Propaganda: information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc. I don't see a parallel there. Granted, propaganda as well as other information is more easily spread worldwide now as opposed to...

    A South Dakota perspective on New York mosque debate

    Most people don't have your expertise in web research when it comes to looking up these things. Maybe you could provide a link or two supporting the Catholics' front seat position regarding victory monuments.

    A South Dakota perspective on New York mosque debate

    The true shame about the Ground Zero area is that the local politicians, Port Authority, etc have become entangled in squabbling about petty political issues and have lost sight of the big picture. Perhaps instead of bickering about what the shape should be or how many different groups should be...

    Christians in Gaza Fear for Their Lives as Muslims Burn Bibles and Destroy Crosses

    Re: Christians in Gaza Fear for Their Lives as Muslims Burn Bibles and Destroy Crosse For those that are concerned about muslims in the US being offended or outraged by the threat of Koran burnings, they'll be glad to know that state and federal officials - in TN at least - are on the job and...

    A South Dakota perspective on New York mosque debate

    Quite a long hit piece on the author of the article I used to point out a few good points about the Imam Rauf and his Ground Zero Mosque, Cordoba Mosque, Park 51 Community Center or whatever the nom ju jour is at present. Schlussel obviously doesn't like Mr. Jasser and seems to throw derogatory...

    Questions For Imam Rauf From an American Muslim by M. Zuhdi Jasser, MD From the article, a CURRENT MUSLIM makes a few good points: "Imam, tell me if you can look into the eyes of children who lost a parent on 9/11 and convince them that this immodest Islamic center benefits them. How will it...

    Imam Rauf: Moving Mosque Location Threatens Our National Security

    Exactly - and no one outside a tiny enclave in N. Florida had ever heard of him and his little group until he let the word get out about the Koran burning, which he may not have ever been serious about in the first place. Once the wire services picked it up he's a nationally known personality...

    Imam Rauf: Moving Mosque Location Threatens Our National Security

    Just for the sake of argument: it was, and still is his constitutional right to burn Korans - freedom of speech, and all that good stuff just like the people who burn the American flag, Bibles, Geo. Bush in effegy, etc. However, after the public outcry he relented and agreed to a compromised...
