Re: Nidal Hassan Motivated By Islam? Groundbreaking!
Clarity of thought is groundbreaking. Not tongue in cheek as the bournite posts, but ground breaking words by Hitchens because of decades of censorship of real Atheist insight. If Atheists write it, it must be wrong according to religious ...

Live in DC? Want to do something - as in you, yes you, personally do something - to help get marriage equality in the District? Good! A bill to legalize marriage equality in Washington, DC is going to be introduced in the City Council shortly. You can see the notice here. Citizens are invited to given oral and written testimony on the proposal, so ...

I Have a Dream Speech
Don signed his contract on 23 July 1963, so MLK's I Have a Dream speech (28 Aug '63) should take place during an upcoming episode. It will be interesting to see how it plays out: I predict its going to hit a few of Sterling Cooper's people hard, and will perhaps give Don more fodder for his existential angst. Pete too could be visibly affected ...

Ancient Greek Pederasty does not support Gay Marriage!
Homosexuals would do well to avoid any association with the traditions of ancient Greece, especially since many on the ''traditional values'' side already believe that homosexuals are sexual predators who prey on children and want to seduce them into a same-sex lifestyle, which seems very similar to the pederasty practices of teachers in ancient ...

Peggy: Looking great, all of a sudden in that snug dress, finally wearing something that becomes her. Dare I mention Mary Wells(c. 1967) of the painted Braniff Airlines planes, who later formed Wells, Rich and Green ad agency? It's true she seems to have slept her way into the Braniff contract but that sort of thing unsually got you downgraded, ...

Joe Wilson’s “You Lie!”
At the heart of Rep. Wilson’s outburst is racism, pure and simple. When he, and some others, look at Obama, they see a black man, not POTUS. Barack Obama has always acted in a very dignified manner. He is not confrontational as was, say, FDR. He deserves our respect and civility. The attempts to de-legitimize his presidency are based ...

Excellent!
This article is ''spot on.'' This is not only a civil rights issue; it is a civil liberties issue. When, in the name of the First and Fourth Amendments to the US Constitution is one vulnerable to arrest for objecting to the police's undue presence, after producing ID in one's own home? When did our homes cease to be castles that deserve to be ...

damage done by Supreme Court
The article states that damage was done by the Supreme Court because of their New Haven cfirefighters meeting. Whatdo they suggest? All tests - everyone - including college exams should be discontinued because they are racially biased.new

There's discrimination, then there's discrimination
I have always maintained that I will ride with any partner who passed the same tests I did. I don’t know why a higher percentage of whites passed those tests - and neither does the city. Throwing out an unpopular test under political pressure when you don’t understand the results is wrong - and stupid. Maybe the whites had more time on the job and ...

Secret Technology that Stars are able to use
This machine is almost primitive compared to what the police department is able to use. Celebrities are also able to use it to read and manipulate peoples minds. There machine is able to read your mind without you knowing or attached to anything mechanical. They are abusing people and torturing people with it right now. I need help uncovering ...
