Fox News Poll: Arizona Was Right to Take Action on Immigration

According to a Fox News Poll released Friday, most American voters think Arizona was right to pass its own immigration law, and think the Obama administration should wait and see how the new law works rather than try to stop it.

Sixty-one percent of voters think Arizona was right to take action instead of waiting for the federal government to do something on immigration, versus 27 percent who think securing the border is a federal responsibility and Arizona should have waited for Washington to act. (Friday Night Lights)

Losing Our Liberties

If you think the "War on Drugs" is worth losing our civil liberties over, read this article and watch this video of a SWAT raid on a family.  All for a misdemeanor charge.  We are militarizing our police and letting them terrorize innocent people, simply to win an un-winnable war that we shouldn't be fighting in the first place.

ABC News: “Three days after he decried the lack of civility in American politics, President Obama is quoted in a new book about his presidency referring to the Tea Party movement using a derogatory term with sexual connotations.”

Jake Tapper:  In Jonathan Alter’s “The Promise: President Obama, Year One,”President Obama is quoted in an interview saying that the unanimous vote of House Republicans vote against the stimulus bills “set the tenor for the whole year ... That helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans.”

An archive of every known image, historical and contemporary, of Mohammed has been assembled here.

The image below is from the North Frieze of the Supreme Court building in Washington, DC, which features a bas-relief sculpture of Mohammed, among several other historical law-givers. He is in the center of this image holding a curved scimitar; on his left is Charlemagne, and on his right is Byzantine Emperor Justinian.

Slanders by Congress Against the Tea Party Movement

I was at the Tea Party protest against the Health Care Reform bill that occurred at the Capitol on March 20th.  In fact, I was in front of the Rayburn House Office Building as well.  I didn't see the members of the Black Caucus move through the crowd when they allegedly got called the n-word, but I was immediately sceptical when I heard the allegations, based on what I saw of the crowd that day.

Well, the reward for video evidence of the n-word being used against them has risen to $100K, and still nothing has come forward, despite scores of cameras in use.  Read all about it here.
