Come to America where we welcome religious freedom.

Doesn't the Jewish American community tend to vote Democrat.  And it's the Democrats that got their head buried about the threat.

Not all of them (getting back to Maher).  I am a regular Maher viewer.  He's funny.  Sure he pisses me off, sometimes- but what I like about him is that he tries to drill down to the truth (granted, it is the truth as he sees it), he tries to be sincere to how he sees and understands the world around him.  Like it or not.  I think that he's past being outrageous just to sell tickets/books/ad spots.

Any time is a good time for pie.

This article discusses how the mainstream political parties in France are pretending that Islamic radicals are not behind this terror attack.

It also suggests that the far right wing political parties have the most to gain by simply speaking the truth about who was behind it.

There's something to be said about addressing the truth as it is, rather than how one thinks it might, maybe, possibly, could be.


Very well said.

They weren't worried about round count on this op.  Wow.



Damn! You'd think some of those swat guys would take a ricochet in the knee or thigh after they all fired multiple rounds at the guy on the pavement, aiming down at a 45 deg angle, and from opposite sides! :o

And as usual not having the US President there is idiotic. Anyone know what he was doing today instead?

It wasn't about him, so he didn't show.  Because he didn't show, now everyone is talking about him.    O0

Kerry apparently downplayed the fact that neither he nor Obama (or even Biden) were there, instead saying the US Ambassador was. The entire statement came across as "well, what the hell more do you want? We have more important things to do over here."

The largest turnout in Paris since WWII and the US is a no-show.

And it's protesting terrorism.

What does that say about the US?
