I love Skateistan. It is like the best NGO anyone has ever conceived of.

Muslims, Christians and Jews need to get the fuck over themselves. If your religion, if your God is actually going to be injured by the words, pictures or films of a mere human being?
…Well, then your religious faith isn’t very strong and your God is weak and lame. You might want to shop for a new one losers.
Waah, wahh, wahh, listen to the French Muslim losers whine and cry. Oh woe is me, they are insulting the prophet. Well, your religion and the way it treats women is beyond insulting, all the way to Satanically unholy to me, do I tell you that you can’t practice your weak little faith? No. That would be because I have a spine and the strength of convictions. I suggest you look into acquiring both dipshits.

Clearly the entire Middle East has zero concept of freedom of speech and clearly they don’t give a shit about the right to self expression.
So fuck ’em if they can’t take a joke.
Maybe they will burn their own societies down.
Shame really, there’s a lot of interesting stuff weaved into the cultures. Vestiges of the sparks of promise that gleamed through the dark ages. Intense emphasis on family. The place has just been bombed to shit by powers that lived there and the ridiculous back and forth bullshit Western Nations engaged in during Colonial and the Cold War but there is still an amazing treasure trove of intact relics of all of humanities shared history. You pile violent religious extremists on top and the region isn’t a cesspool, it is the proverbial powder keg.
The age of the population in the Middle East is skewed unbelievably towards younger people. We haven’t even begun to see the impact of that. It is my complete belief that the wars and conflicts in the Middle East are not about West vs. Islam or anything that can be as simply explained as that. It truly is a war for hearts and minds. what kinds of people will these young people grow up to be? Will they violently oppose foreign cultures? Will they violently suppress each other?
Apart from well intentioned individual organizations that work separately from the government it would seem that the US has only stoked the fires of violence. The way out isn’t to wage demonstrations back, or to continue these ridiculous armed conflicts. We cannot win with our military might. To continue to use our military forces against people in the region we merely continue our culpability in shaping the next generation into an angry, violent and aggressive with nothing to lose fighting force, a fighting force bent on our destruction. It’s really not the smart play.
The smart play would be to build schools and hospitals and more schools and hospitals. Maybe some that serve everyone regardless of race, color or creed. Maybe some more that concentrate on different populations in a given area. …All done in a way which can be said is respectful of the separation of gender. The same facilities, in different areas and/or different times with different staffs should be the goal. This would have the added benefit of gently exposing the idea of women professionals. And finally, ALL of these facilities should be guarded by a combined local & international security force. No getting involved in local fights over power or territory, just offering secure safe places to come for institutional services and perhaps even food & shelter. Hearts and minds. To paraphrase Carville, it’s safety and security, stupid!
Sigh…

Bill Kristol: Romney Remarks ‘Arrogant And Stupid’ | TPM LiveWire
“Romney seems to have contempt not just for the Democrats who oppose him, but for tens of millions who intend to vote for him.”
I don’t always agree with Bill Kristol, but when I do, we’re both shitting on Romney.

Awesome.
The TSA is a huge fucking joke whose job has become to harass Americans and give terrorists very specific information on what will and ill not be found in a search when boarding a plane.
This guy rocks and the TSA can fucking suck it.

a description of anti-Semitism might include likening Israeli policies toward Palestinians to treatment of Jews by Nazis during the Holocaust.
How about you shove it up your fucking asses? In a lot of way, say apart from the starvation and the ovens, the Israeli government DOES treat Palestinians the way Nazis treated Jews. Instead of whining about how the truth hurts and pretending people spouting facts is the same as people calling you names, how about you all work to do something to change Israel’s government so no one can accuse it of creating its own apartheid state? No? How about at least speaking on the facts as they are instead of how you want them to be? Don’t want to do that? Then you had better live with the fucking comparisons you spoiled little brats because they are totally fucking apt.
And for the Muslims who feel they don’t fit in because of their Muslim garb? Well, if you choose to set yourself apart but you really want to blend in, your problem might just be staring at you in the mirror. If you want to be judged on something else, consider whether making a different first impression is more important than your own beliefs. Or grow a fucking spine, it’s your religious convictions that give rise to the displays of your religion that you are making. If you can’t handle the fallout from your own convictions, well, you might consider knocking it the fuck off for a bit then. Maybe your grow one later.
Both groups can go fuck themselves and they should take any and all holier-than-thou Christians who need to bring Jesus into every conversation and are always preaching about what everyone else should be doing instead of focusing on their own behavior with them to the hell-fire orgy.

From the moment he took office, on the economic issues the country cares about, Obama has governed as an old Democrat, not a new one. As former Sen. Fred Thompson said in 2008, “He’s George McGovern without the experience.”
LMAO!
Down with ineffectual old school liberal, long live the New Democrats! Vive le Big Dog!
I disagree with a basic premise of this article though.
Obama is further to the left in the economic sphere than Clinton? Bullshit!
