Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 22:22 st saw this on Sam Harris’ ‘The Reason Project’ website:
THE AHA FOUNDATION:The AHA Foundation was established by Ayaan Hirsi Ali as a charitable organization to help protect and defend the rights of women in the West against militant Islam.
Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 21:36 The Southern Poverty Law Center has been warning us. “We figured for a long time that we were going to get violence out of this movement” said research director Heidi Beirich.
Sure enough. The folks from an anti-illegal immigration group down in Arizonia decided to play dress up, as Border Patrol agents. A man and a nine year old girl were shot dead.
Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 18:58 I’m trying to figure out just what it is about the current situation in Iran - particularly as it pertains to the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his sneering, sniveling sidekick, incumbent President Mahmoud Amadinejad that reminds me every time of Darth Vadar in Star Wars.
In the current unhappy situation, we see a religious leader who is in control of Iran’s Army and Revolutionary Guard. He also seems to control the Guardian Council.
Does this sound as draconian and ridiculously theatrical to you as it does to me?
All Khamenei needs is the black helmet. He’s already got the flowing robes.
Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 11:01 I just got the following message from NARALin my email this morning. I knew Ann Coulter was an outrageous demagogue and opportunist but this is over the top even for her.
Dear Cynthia
I was stunned when I saw the recent exchange between Ann Coulter and Bill O’Reilly. The one where she said, “I don’t really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester.” 1
This is the kind of rhetoric we ask you to stand against today.
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 23:01 I don’t often accord the French high marks for stepping up and taking an unpopular stance, but in this case …
The French President, in a speech given to Parliament in 136 years, at the Palace of Versailles, essentially said that the burqa is a symbol of repression and does not represent the values that France considers truly important. And let’s face it, the burqa could never be considered chic, and Sarkozy is married to a former fashion model. You’ll never see ‘Burqa by Dior.’
Bravo. Finally.
