Afraid Of A Little Tea?

RSS Feed — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 21:24:37 +0000

“Some of them in Congress right now with this tea party movement would love to see you and me, I’m sorry, … hanging on a tree.” By now, we’re all familiar with the insane accusation of Rep. Andre Carson last month. And while his remarks may be the most blatantly absurd, he certainly isn’t alone in his unfounded cries of a racist conspiracy. High profile liberals like Chris Matthews, Janeane Garofalo, Keith Olbermann, and Al Sharpton have all accused tea partiers of having some sort of top-secret racist agenda.

Out to Lunch

There has been a lot of talk lately about public schools banning homemade lunches. Most of the controversy surrounds a Chicago area school which has already started this practice. The principle says that this policy is “common” among the city’s schools.

Got Balls?

RSS Feed — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 23:41:09 +0000

POTTSTOWN, PA – Balls are a tradition in Pottstown. Some say that Pottstown has the biggest balls. Back in its heyday, the balls at Sunnybrook Ballroom were always bouncing and its ballroom was always full. But when balls are held for pleasure… well …those are the kind we like best. December 17 marks the date of the next big pleasure ball in Pottstown (and it’s unfortunate that those kind of balls don’t get held every day…so take advantage of it folks!).

Who’s Prejudiced?

This weekend marked the ninth anniversary of 9/11. Television specials, radio programs, and news articles focused on remembering that tragic day. There were a great many stories of bravery and heroism to be told. Tales that every American should remember. Which is why I am baffled by the media’s insistence on devoting so much time to one of the most overblown controversies I’ve ever seen. I’m talking about the non-stop coverage of the canceled Koran burning in Florida. Yes, I am aware that a few other people decided to burn Korans even after Pastor Jones’s event was called off. But even so, we are talking about a protest that involved a handful of people. If you gathered every person involved with burning a Koran on Saturday you would be hard-pressed to fill a telephone booth. And yet, from the moment Terry Jones suggested the demonstration, the event captured the attention of not only every major media outlet, but the President and his cabinet as well (And since when does President Obama address anything promptly?). Why? What makes this protest so special that we needed to start a national dialogue about religious tolerance? Sure, it was tacky and in poor taste. I’m sure it was very offensive to Muslims, but I am offended by things everyday. It’s just a part of life in the U.S.A. If we believe everyone is truly equal in this country, why do we behave as though one group of people has the right to never be offended?

Missing the Point: Ground Zero

RSS Feed — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:02:04 +0000

I have been watching the battle over the proposed Ground Zero mosque in NYC with great interest. Some have argued that opposition to the mosque is a clear-cut attack on free exercise of religion. Those opposed to its construction say that religion plays no part in their unease. It is the location of the proposed mosque and the radical imam behind it that they find frightening. It has become a source of debate nationwide with even the President weighing in. The new outlets have interviewed every lawyer, activist, imam, and politician in the country. But it seems as though the voice of the locals, who will actually have to live and work near the mosque, are being drowned out by the sea of “experts.” Sure, we see footage of protests and town-hall meetings, but is it having any influence? When the final decision is made, will the wishes of the community even be considered? And if the people of New York believe this mosque poses a threat to their physical security, why should anyone else’s opinion even matter? Every community is different. It has its own look, culture, and economic make-up. and our country was designed to encourage this uniqueness. It started with a relatively broad set of rules laid out in the Constitution. States were free to draft more specific laws as long as the stayed within the bounds of the Bill of Rights. Counties, cities, and even neighborhoods contributed further. Some places going so far as to dictate the length of your grass and color of your Christmas lights. For generations, people have had the ability to settle down in a place that was perfect for their lifestyle. Whether you are a green-living liberal vegan or an SUV driving gun-toting conservative, there is a neighborhood just for you.

This video is obviously pretty infamous. Many people have heard the lines repeated but have never actually seen Obama saying them.

So here we have the President of the United States saying that Muslims have the right to practice their religion and that they have the right to build a mosque at the ground zero site. Which means that according to Obama’s version of things, its not somehow a slap in the face to the United
