    • Howie Rich and Ed Crane: Their antics in South Carolina

      Posted by themelinda

      While Tim Moultrie, teacher and proponent for making quality education a reality for the children in South Carolina, worked to obtain that goal Howie Rich and Ed Crane and their friends funded the same old establishment that had made it impossible. Tim Moultrie, a real reformer, also filed a law suit to force the Republicans and Democrats in his state to follow the law they made for others. Moultrie is working for all of us.

    • The Clash of Civilizations Doesn't Exist... Yet

      Posted by Billbar from Alternet

      We're fortunate that most of the Clash of Civilizations rhetoric is obvious nonsense peddled by cynics playing to our latent xenophobia, rather than something inherently violent or nihilistic in Islam (it is violent, but no more than any other religion). "Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims" is a common refrain on the many "war-blogs" that have proliferated since 9/11. That's wrong, and purely racist -- like saying all crack-heads are African-American. In the end, the Clash of Civilizations rhetoric is, by design, a way to cut short any discussion of neo-imperialsim (the same reason we hear gibberish that foreign policy critics "hate America," that "they hate us for our freedom" or that "you're with us or against us"). The truth is that we're threatened by a number of lethal organized crime networks -- with politics rather than profits as their chief motivation -- spread out over dozens of countries. ... those reactionaries within our own society who are pushing the Clash of Civilizations are mirror-images of the terrorists that inspire their hyperbolic fear; they're just as xenophobic, just as irrational and, ultimately, are just as great a threat to our security. Both have to be challenged aggressively before they give birth to another, even bloodier generation of culture warriors.

    Breaking: Mel Gibson's Liberalism exposed!

    I can't believe someone didn't like this story. It just goes to show the duplicitous nature of the neocons. I thought it was funny.
