So we have to try to understand the terrorists?

This post at HotAir leads to this conclusion… I quote:
Robert was interviewed for the story, and though his quotes weren’t included, he made a good point.
Elizabeth Holmes interviewed me at some length for this article, and I explained to her that the linkage between Islam and terrorism did not come from Republican presidential candidates, but from [...]

Guiliani: Governement never increases quality! (why are you running again?)

From another ‘I will bash government’ moment from Guiliani…
If Guiliani things that government never increases the quality of anything, why is he trying to run for office? Seriously… This is nuts. Why would you want to elect someone who thinks his organization will *never work*?
I think government bashing is one thing. A candidate bashing that [...]

No water to wash your feet? Use dirt!

It’s true that there can a substitute for a Muslim that cannot find water to to his or her wudu, and it seems that some pastor has found it! This in relation to the story of Indianapolis wanting to install footbaths in the airport.
Anyways, I give credit to the Pastor for finding this rule. On [...]

Bush IS more dangerous than Ahmadinejad…

Hot Air has a clip related to IslamoFacism… At the end the interviewer asks the bogus ‘who is more dangerous, Bush or Ahmadinejad’ question. The interviewee answered Bush.
This really reminds me of the question: “Who jumps higher, you or the Empire State building?”. Obviously you, since the Empire State building doesn’t jump.
Ahmadinejad doesn’t have any [...]

Ron Paul on the front page of msnbc.com!

Wow, this is impressive. This article (Ron Paul uses new millions for media push) was listed as a top stories on MSNBC.com.
Honestly, if he can make George Stephanopoulous eat his words, I will be very happy. (For those that don’t remember, George bet ‘every cent’ he thought Ron Paul would lose)
Plus, as a bonus, Ron [...]

Democratic advantage on health care?

From dailykos (well really quoting something else):
Americans, by a more than 2-to-1 margin, say Democratic presidential candidates have better overall solutions to health- care questions than do Republicans, according to a new Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times poll.
Personally,, I think the issue is more that the Republicans aren’t really proposing anything serious on healthcare. But even if you [...]

The comparison ISN’T fair … at all!

HotAir is comparing the response to Katrina and the response to the California fires:
The comparison isn’t entirely fair, since much of Katrina’s disaster zone was unreachable and that disaster unfolded so slowly that its full extent wasn’t really grasped immediately. But the difference between responses then and now seems to come down to leadership, starting [...]

Confused about islamofacism…

I tried to understand what is islamofacism (and the week of celebrations attached to it) and I fail to understand…
On one end, it seems that the religious aspect is purely hypocritical or very confused:
The term Islamo-Fascism, as she explains, refers to “political forces working under the cover of religion in order to gain political power [...]

What are the other 9,999,999 reasons like?

Michelle Malkin has a post about a student group in Colorado that proposed an altered version of the pledge of allegiance:
this: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Would be replaced by [...]

Hannatized, sanitized, childatized…

There seems to be a recurent thread on the hannity.com forums about the use of particular words that are rated ‘R’. Somebody was complaining about the use of different characters to circumvent the profanity filter.
Given the values that Sean Hannity stands for, I would hope that moderators of this board would warn such people to [...]
