#1  Things aren't going well for the terrorists freedom fighters in Syria in spite of Saudi Arabia's efforts at regime change there.

Kings have prime ministers defense ministers so that there is somebody to take the blame when their decisions result in failure.

Home Front: Culture Wars
End The War on Racism
Excerpt: "It's not about tolerance; it's about a wave of political terror."

#1  Maybe a better excerpt would have been the closing paragraph:

"Peace in the War on Racism begins with letting go of anger. It ends when we stop giving power to those who divide us with their pursuit of racial warfare in the name of grievance, outrage, anger, power and profit. Racism will only end when the War on Racism does."

#2  That's a good read. The terror indeed.

I listened to an interview with Sterling. The segment which stuck, and it was incredibly inarticulate, was that hey I'm an ass but that's me, but who is Magic Johnson to go about finger pointing about morality? He was a good ball player, but he continues to be relevant because he has/had AIDS from being totally promiscuous. That is your morality police?

I think he has a point in there. Johnson was one of the first to line up for the gauntlet and he is kinda a jerk too. And so long as we are talking about people who hate and own property, what about Bill Mahar's war on women and owning part of the Mets? He gets a pass? Its this picking and choosing, this mob mentality, it makes for a lot of energy spent on smashing things like a 2 year old, like drunken fraggles on a doozer village.

#3  End The War on Racism

Bullshit, end the phony Racim that saturates th media, REAL racism is not tolerated, but screaming "RACISM" has become the next OH LOOK SQUIRREL.

If a black says it, It's jutas racist as if a white says it, but it's ignored.

#4  Does that mean we can now jump on Spike Lee for calling whites "devils" and Louis Farrakhan for calling for a race war? Or are they still given a pass because they are an approved minority?
