Valin Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 "Supporting those who do genuinely seek to reform Islam." @Valin And who might that be? In no particular order, and a very short incomplete list. They are out there unfortunately so many of them are not anti- American so the Left doesn't support them, and they are Muslims and so the Right doesn't either....and yes it is frustrating. Remember what the students in the Green Revolution were shouting while they were trying to bring down the mullahs...Allahu Akbar Veena Malik Mohammed VI King of Morocco More can be found in these two books. I know this may come as a shock, that I have a book. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U7HKNHMHVk Abd Al-Hamid Al-Ansari Speaks out about one of the problems in the Arab world [/media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This Koran-burning riot is spreading to other countries. It's not going to end well. I have to wonder if Iran is going to use it as an excuse to launch a nuclear warhead. In fact, I can't help but wonder if they are behind it. What a tinderbox. At this point I don;t believe we can say they are behind this. Will they and those they fund make use of it? Nah! That would never happen, and only an Islamiphobe would even think such scurrilous thought about these misunderstood societal/religious reformers. Will Iran Use this? You Tell Me.

Valin Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Racing for Israel at Daytona Jonathan Neumann If you’re watching the Daytona 500 – ‘‘The Great American Race’’ – this Sunday, look out for the No. 49 Robinson-Blakeney Toyota, sponsored by the non-profit, America-Israel Racing, and driven by J.J. Yeley, one of the top drivers in NASCAR. Conceived last year by two Charlotte, N.C., men, America-Israel racing looks ‘‘to promote awareness of and support by Americans for Israel, the only true democracy in the Middle East’’ and hopes ‘‘to educate Americans on the importance [of] the United States’ relationship with Israel through exposure provided by one of the largest spectator sports in the world.’’ It may seem odd to make such a statement in sport – a realm often idealized as separate from politics. But it’s not about politics, they insist. And though advertising costs can run into the millions, they also note that it’s not a product they are trying to sell. Rather, ‘‘it’s a belief.’’ For probably the only televised sport where races are preceded by prayer, perhaps beliefs are appropriate.

pollyannaish Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Interesting. In my part of Washington state, the two groups running very negative ads against Santorum are a PAC supporting Newt and a PAC supporting Paul. They are not unfair, but very negative.

WestVirginiaRebel Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 "That’s the kind of balance you need," said Geithner. "Why is that the case? Because if you don't try to generate more revenues through tax reform, if you don't ask, you know, the most fortunate Americans to bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American, then you have to -- the only way to achieve fiscal sustainability is through unacceptably deep cuts in benefits for middle class seniors, or unacceptably deep cuts in national security Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Jesse Ventura aims to get even with Navy SEAL in court DAN BROWNING 2/24/12 "Scruff Face"? Them's fighting words to Jesse "The Body" Ventura, Minnesota's controversial former governor and TV provocateur. Ventura, whose real name is James Janos, recently filed a defamation lawsuit against Navy SEAL Chris Kyle over the portrayal of a bar fight Kyle claims they had six years ago in Coronado, Calif. Kyle wrote about the alleged incident in his recent memoir "American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History." Under the headline, "Punching Out Scruff Face," Kyle describes a confrontation with a "celebrity" who served in the military during the Vietnam War and who "most people seem to believe was a SEAL." He said Scruff Face winters in Baja California, opposed the war in Iraq and described the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as a "conspiracy." Though he didn't name Ventura, Kyle has since acknowledged that Scruff Face is Ventura. In his lawsuit filed in Hennepin County District Court, Ventura denies any such fight took place and alleges that Kyle defamed him in an effort to promote his book. He's seeking unspecified monetary damages, including any profits from the book's sales. According to Kyle's portrayal, the incident occurred in 2006 in a Coronado bar frequented by SEALs. Kyle was attending a wake for Mike Mansoor, who received the Medal of Honor after throwing himself on a grenade to save fellow SEALs in Iraq.

Seems like this will cause a higher representation of gl's as the likely way to lie is that they are straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
