I’m seeing quite a few articles around the web trying to answer the vexing question of how Donald Trump became popular enough to be a serious contender for the presidency. After all, he is supremely unqualified for the job and he not only lies consistently, but isn’t even consistent in his lies (often contradicting himself […]

It is fascinating to watch Dylan Ratigan explain the simple truth about Muslims, terrorists, and the American “War on Islam”. But what makes this ironic is how absolutely uncomfortable this makes the rest of the people on the Morning Joe show. Especially when he calls it “an extraordinary failure of our politicians and our media.” […]
A fire at the construction site of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro (in a town near Nashville TN) has been ruled as arson. Gasoline was poured on several pieces of construction equipment and ignited. So let me get this straight. Someone who considers themselves to be a real American was upset about terrorism, so they […]
Yes, I know I said I was going to try to ignore the whole “ground zero mosque” meme, but I can’t help myself. Especially when The Daily Show is this funny.

But Glenn Greenwald makes the point that this has grown far beyond a simple distraction, and is showcasing growing American religious […]
UPDATE: Dennis Kucinich compares the Iraq “exit” to Bush’s “mission accomplished”.

[from Jason Mustian] In fairness, we’ve been building ‘ground zeros’ near Iraqi mosques since March 2003. UPDATE: Really great rant on this issue over at The Daily Beast, titled “America has Disgraced Itself”. I would try to excerpt it, but you really need to read the whole thing. It is fairly short and to the […]
Two interesting pieces of news concerning the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay: The first is a report from the Pentagon that about one in five detainees who have been released from Gitmo have joined (or are suspected of joining) militant groups like al Qaeda. This includes two released prisoners who went on to help plan […]
Finally, a simple explanation as to how Republicans are claiming that we had no terrorist attacks during the Bush administration.
