Racist Nation??

It's so annoying when people whine about the US being racist. Nothing could be farther from the truth.  Look at the comparison of assets...Median assets of white families - $97,000...Median assets of black families - $4900...Median assets of Hispanic families - $1300.

Wait, that doesn't sound right...well, maybe people of color are lazy and don't work hard.  That's what my father always said.

OK, forget the numbers.  Just listen to what the politicians tell us and you'll see that this country has equal opportunities for all. Maybe there's a mistake and some zeros got dropped off the numbers for the "colored".

Liberal Bias

I've just heard the news that reality has a liberal bias.

Now we all know that liberalism is synonymous with evil and ungodliness.  So the solution to this problem is clear...

We must pass laws banning any mention of reality...also any blogs based on the real world or publications that mention it.  Reality is no longer acceptable in America.  It's our patriotic duty to separate ourselves completely from reality.

Just doing my part to clean up this country...I hope you're all with me on this. I know the Congress is already on board...they want nothing to do with reality.

Islamic State

We are dealing with the threat from the Islamic State aka ISIS aka ISIL in the wrong way in the media. The group is falling into the category of a political/religious/insurgent group in discussions and news articles.  Islamic State, as they currently call themselves, is not any of these things.

It's an enormous, highly dangerous criminal conspiracy.  They are not political, they're organized crime on a vast scale.  The recent UN report on the group details their activities...child abuse, mass murder, ethnic cleansing, sex slavery, abuse of the elderly and infirm, systematic use of armed robbery...on and on it goes.  They seem to have no ethics or morality whatsoever.

Ordinarily I take a relatively pacifist approach to politics.  But this has nothing to do with politics. These people are simply criminals, and this is a law enforcement problem on a vast scale.  The UN report shows that they're guilty of many crimes against humanity.

If the world doesn't stand up to them, they'll just keep on growing like a cancer.
