Will someone answer this question for me? What is wrong with being a Muslim? There are Muslim doctors, lawyers, teachers, policemen and policewomen. There is a Muslim congressman from the great state of Minnesota named Keith Ellison. We encounter Muslim Americans in every facet of American life. They are part of the American tapestry. When did it become un-American to be a Muslim?
52% of conservative Americans believe Barack Obama wants to institute Sharia Law. I'm sure if you also asked those polled what Sharia law is, they couldn't tell you. Since it's associated with Islam and Muslims, it must be terrible-- and this president must be in support of ...
Hello again Rush: I wanted to finish my thoughts about your words last week regarding my hatred for the white race. As I said earlier, you've managed to figure out my diabolical plans. Of course I was being facetious in my approach last week. Now, it's time to get real.
Being called a racist by you is most curious. After all, your track record on race relations and reconciliation is non-paralleled. I don't ever recall you making any inflammatory or derogatory statements about race and race relations(withering sarcastic snicker). Let's talk ...
Dear Rush:
First let me say that I admire your dogmatic approach to defending the lies, half-truths, and other space age theories of your fellow conservatives. You are to be commended on your willingness to get down in the muck and the mud-- and sling it far and wide hoping it tags someone. It usually does. Wonderful tactic. And when you couple that with an absolute lack of knowledge about anything, you've got a winning combination. It's no wonder folks at the EIV pay you the big bucks. See Rush, only in America could ...
Tuesday's biggest primary night of the year saw relatively few surprises. Women – especially GOP women – stood tall, with the likes of Blanche Lincoln, Nikki Haley, Sharron Angle, Carly Fiorina, and Meg Whitman all prevailing in their primary challenges. One of the most shocking developments taking place Tuesday happened in South Carolina (surprise). The winner of the Democratic primary for the senate was a man named Alvin Greene.
In the year of voter angst and incumbent backlash, Alvin Greene--a 32 year old unemployed veteran-- managed to do the impossible. Mr. Greene defied ...
I enjoy political commentators and pundits who drape themselves in nostalgia, regaling their readers with stories of how things used to be--and in some cases how things ought to be. Pat Buchanan likes to indulge in that type of, my old America circa 1955 rhetoric-- and as a result-- some of his work reflects that narrow, stodgy thinking.
Buchanan's piece on the bias against WASPS (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) by liberals illustrates that fact. Mr. Buchanan simply longs for the days when white men were picked for every powerful position in industry and ...
The state of Arizona has passed the most stringent, draconian immigration law in the United States. Proposition SB-1070's impact on millions of Hispanics--both legal and illegal immigrants--will be profound. For the first time, law enforcement will be given a broad swath of powers to stop, seize and detain those they believe may be in the country illegally. The new law, signed last week by Arizona governor Jan Brewer, has caused widespread consternation and fear of increased racial profiling.
At its worst, SB-1070 is unconstitutional, clear government overreach, and a violation of ...

The morning of April 20th, 2010 brings the tragic news that legendary civil rights leader Dorothy Irene Height has passed away at the age of 98. I met Ms. Height very briefly at a woman's symposium at Howard University thirteen years ago. She was this tiny unassuming woman, with this fierce coiled determination pulsing through her body. She spoke authoritatively — yet calmly and assuredly — befitting someone who had ...
Sonny Perdue is the Republican governor of the state of Georgia. Perdue is at the tail end of his second and final term in the statehouse. His administration is presiding over a fiscal crisis -- one with steep prolonged budget cuts -- that are destined to cripple the state's services and economy for the foreseeable future. But Perdue is now distracted by his newest crusade: Repealing health care reform. He, along with 13 other governors, have joined together to pursue legal action toward the federal government regarding the implementation of the new health ...
On July 30th, 1965, President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the epic legislation called Medicare into law. President Johnson's historic achievement was not without significant contention and venom. Many on the other side of the aisle opposed it as nothing more than government intrusion on the rights of liberties of free people. That idea has been the clarion call for those who demonize major social programs for more than a century. Johnson knew it, embraced it, and challenged it successfully:
"The doubters predicted a scandal; we gave them a success story," he ...
I’m, for one — I know it’s not politically correct to say it — I believe in racial and ethnic profiling. I think if you’re looking at people getting on an airplane and you have X amount of resources to get into it, you get at the targets, and not my wife. And I just think it’s something that should be looked into. The statement that’s made, it’s probably 90 percent true with some exceptions like the Murrah federal office building in my state, Oklahoma. Those people, ...
Who is Vernon Hunter? I wouldn't have known the answer to that question if it weren't for a few dedicated writers. They decided to spotlight the real hero of last week's domestic terrorist attack against an Austin IRS building. Vernon Hunter was from Orangeburg, South Carolina. He was a husband to Valerie. He was a father to Donald, Ken, and Christine. He was a step-father to Justin, Crystin, and Tara Jackson. He was a Vietnam veteran, who was employed at the IRS building at the time of Joe Stack's premeditated, cowardly attack. Ask yourself this question: Why would the media ...
Sarah Palin is either a disingenuous fraud, or just plain idiotic. I'll reserve judgment for the sole purpose of debunking her latest transparent crusade. Palin's defense of Rush Limbaugh-- a man made wealthy by stoking the flames of xenophobia, racism, sexism, classism, and any other ism that's classified as divisive and inflammatory-- uttering the word "retard" 40 times in the span of a twenty minute segment is hypocritical. Especially when you consider her calls for President Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel's resignation for saying the same word. The latest target in the former governor's cross hairs is the show ...
Religion and politics are a toxic blend. Who holds the moral high ground? Political policy is shaped by ideas and innovative minds. Policy is not formed by religious proselytizing and radical invention. Yet components of both major political parties-- one party more than the other-- uses religion and the ensuing fervor behind it, to craft political platforms to recapture majority status in congress. As a result, religious ideology is becoming bastardized-- losing some of its relevance as uplifting dogma, and our personal affirmation. In politics, values and morality have morphed into a hodgepodge of mind puzzles, where what you say ...
