    Part IV: An Opposing Viewpoint

    MLK was a man of God to a point, and an intellectual to a point, but mostly he was a man on a mission of civil rights for his fellow black citizens. It's been pretty well documented that he plagiarized a considerable portion of his doctoral thesis, and there was one of the Ten Commandments that...

    Amazing what a little self-discipline and staying out of the fast food joints will accomplish. Kudos to all you guys - keep it up!

    Same here. If he's gets on our nerves, think what he's like for them?

    Part IV: An Opposing Viewpoint

    Personally, I find Beck to be annoying on both radio and TV. However, there's no denying he was able to get a huge turnout at the Lincoln Memorial this past weekend. What's significant about this is not necessarily his charisma or popularity, but that the makeup of the crowd was people that...

    Part IV: An Opposing Viewpoint

    The same could be said for politicians and politics; just substitute Liberals and Conservatives for Muslims and Christians. However, is it bigotry to have a set of beliefs and principles and to stick with them in spite of the fact that they might be at odds with the current political...

    Tea party cry ironic given history of ancestors

    You can always depend on the Deep South when looking for examples of racism. Maybe these people ought to examine "certain not-so-small pockets" of just about any major metropolitan area to find racism on a major scale. Everyone is familiar with these sections of Detroit, Atlanta, NYC, Cleveland...

    Part IV: An Opposing Viewpoint

    An opposing viewpoint from Charles Krauthammer: "The intelligentsia is near unanimous that the only possible grounds for opposition is bigotry toward Muslims. This smug attribution of bigotry to two-thirds of the population hinges on the insistence on a complete lack of connection between...

    You're saying there really isn't any "leadership" in their religion? Tell that to the Iranians. There may be factions within their religion, but there are certainly leaders of the factions. I am close friends with a helluva lot of Catholics, and those relationships have no influence over my...

    You would probably get a response that goes something like "Why, some of my best friends are muslims". But having personal relationships with some muslim individuals that are nice guys and girls should not influence one's opinion regarding the doctrine of Islam and the agenda of it's leaders -...

    All the news organizations are into the Ground Zero Mosque deal right now because things are slow and Congress is still in recess. Well, it seems the left-wing news is right in there mixing it up with them: Report from the Front Lines: Apparent ABC Employee in Confrontation with Ground Zero...

    Part IV: An Opposing Viewpoint

    "We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al Qaida has on its hands of innocent non Muslims." Preconceived notion has nothing to do with it; when one stops to think about the Imam's above statement it's evident that it doesn't make a valid...

    Part IV: An Opposing Viewpoint

    I see your point; but the reason I'm saying that it's a big deal is because it's been turned into a big deal by politicians and the media. It officially became a big national deal when BHO made it an issue at his Ramadan dinner. That gave the media something to sink their teeth into, and things...

    A couple of points: Sorry, but the Ground Zero Mosque is a REALLY big deal; to think otherwise is just unrealistic. Why should we think that Christians are in fear of Jehovah's Witnesses? Back to the mosque: Imam Rauf claims that he is not a politician, but in reality he is nothing but a...

    Regardless of Gellar's extreme viewpoints, the link provides the entire text of Rauf's speech and the context that everyone claims is lacking. The reader can accept her editorials at face value or reject them. The quotes and video of Imam Rauf remain accurate regardless of the source. I'll bet...

    Brad Pitt, liberal loser

    Oops - I stand corrected; you're right, she did have children of her own. Since I don't keep up with details of pop icons such as these - other than what hits the occasional headline that can't be missed, I'd forgotten that. Granted, they'll have access to a lot of money throughout their lives...

    Part IV: An Opposing Viewpoint

    Wouldn't be much fun without a contrarian argument, would it? I'm just posting the link since it's so long, but there's a lot of direct quotes, some video and transcripts. I'm not necessarily espousing this publication because I haven't read the entire thing; it just offers a different take on...

    Brad Pitt, liberal loser

    I guess we're fortunate that Bradgelina doesn't seem to be able to reproduce. Can't help but feel sorry for the international litter they've collected; those poor kids don't have a chance for normalcy being raised by those two idiots.

    Some bad news from the WSJ (emphasis mine): How's that Hope and Change working for everyone?? As if that's not enough bad news, here's a good article by Mort Zukerman giving some insight as to WHY home sales are so low - too many people out of work. (emphasis mine) "There is an even darker...

    WORST motels

    Moral of the story is, don't stay in CHEAP motels. You can usually tell what's up the minute you walk in the lobby. I've had some bad experiences like the ones previously mentioned in Motel 6, Knight's Inn, Days Inn. The first two I'll never stay in again - they're always nasty; some Day Inns...
