Michele Bachmann, Islamist Terrorist Supporter?

I’ve been trying to avoid writing about Michele Bachmann under the theory that doing so just feeds her sick need for attention, but this is just too funny. Bachmann has been getting headlines recently because of her crazy charges that the federal government has been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. It is bad enough that […]

Why are we training terrorists?

According to a story by Seymour Hersh in The New Yorker, between 2005 and 2007, US was secretly training members of a known terrorist group. So if someone (like you or me) donated some money to the group, they could be jailed for supporting terrorism, but the US government provided training in the use of […]

We’re Here to Help!

© Ruben Bolling People are outraged that the president has assumed the authority to assassinate anyone he determines to be a terrorist, without judicial review or congressional oversight, and even if the target is an American citizen.

Willing Victims

© Ed Stein Why in the world do we spend billions of dollars spying on people? How much do we spend on the CIA, or on spy satellites? All you have to do is set up a social network and people will tell complete strangers everything about their lives, including photos (who needs spy cameras?). […]

Peter Waldron spent 37 days in prison in Uganda in 2006 after he was charged with terrorism for possessing assault rifles and ammunition.

Fox News Victim Hypocrisy

Fox News plays the victim card regarding calling the Norwegian terrorist a Christian, when (not surprisingly) they have repeatedly done the same thing they are accusing others of doing. Confused? Jon Stewart explains it all: But playing the victim card by Fox News is not limited to the terrorist incident in Norway. Fox News has […]

Onward Christian Soldiers

On his show, Bill O’Reilly takes strong exception to calling Anders Behring-Breivik, the man who has admitted to mass murder in Norway, a Christian (even though Breivik calls himself a Christian). According to O’Reilly “Breivik is not a Christian. That’s impossible. No one beliving in Jesus commits mass murder.” I just have one thing to […]

Terrorist War Profiteering

Walid Shoebat travels around the US giving speeches to police departments, churches, and universities about terrorism. His qualifications?

According to the former Afghan […]
