There are many places including the public sphere where religion plays a major role and will continue to do so but this does not mean that we should become a fundamentalist state like in Muslim and Jewish countries where religious freedom (i.e., people can practice whatever religion they want while there is an official state religion). There are an equal number of conservatives who don't want their children taught the faith of these right wing religious psycho's who are nothing more than the American version of al-Qaeda and Muslim extremists.

You mean like they can opt out in Muslim countries where the state religion is Islam and where everyone is free to practice their religion alongside the state religion of Islam? It is one thing to say that people can opt out of something and another for them to actually be able to do it. How would you suggest that they opt out? By not coming to school jackass? Because that is the only option left to them while those who want to practice their faith can do it in almost every place. The amount of freedom that a person enjoys to practice their as they see fit is so great that they don't need to put others in a place of having to leave school, wear earplugs or simply not take part in what is by right a public education.
Red believes that Ari and Abdul don't matter and that it doesn't matter that they come to school to learn and to be treated as equals regardless of their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability or for that matter any other factor that would not affect their education. It doesn't matter that in opting out of a school activity or event that they become outcasts and are marginalized. While all the Christian children go to the Christmas party the Jewish, Buddhist, and Muslim children will simply have to find some other activity. It doesn't matter that these children shouldn't have to find something else to do when all the Christian children can attend a Christmas Party outside of school and all the Muslim children can take part in Muslim holidays outside of schools instead this ass thinks that in the U.S. Christmas should be celebrated just like conservative asses in Muslim countries feel the same way about Muslim holidays.

You need to find some way to let loose your anger
It seemed to me that would make you feel better
At least you admit you are a liberal
That is the first step on the road to recovery - to admit you have a problem
Blah, blah, blah and blah. I have lost count of how many times you have said this and to how many people you have said it to you psychotic piece of shit. You must have some serious mental issues to be on this early in the morning on a Sunday especially if you aren't planning to be to work soon which I must question considering how you post from morning to evening. I would suggest you seek some help help from a professional.
Let's see if you can go for several hours today without posting anything. In fact I suspect you couldn't go a day without getting your fix from this board you retarded piece of shit.
You haven't even made it to that step yet because you have yet to admit that you have a problem with internet addiction and with message boards. Let's see if you can go for 10 hours today without a single post. I suspect you will not be able to do so and I also suspect that you couldn't go two to three days without a post because you have serious mental issues. Now hit shutdown on your computer and get a life. As for me I need to go to work after Church and don't have time to waste with your retarded ass now.

WashPost Columnist Colbert King: Bash Imus, Don't Change the Subject to Rap, Sharpton
Posted by Tim Graham on April 14, 2007 - 22:56.
Washington Post columnist Colbert King used his usual top-of-the-op-ed-page column on Saturday to bashing Don Imus and anyone who would shift the subject to vicious rap lyrics, "as if that absolves the 66-year-old broadcaster of marking the young collegians with a despicable label." He didn't want anyone changing the subject to Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson either:
To shift the argument, as some have done, from Imus to the legitimacy of the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson criticizing Imus, given their own past insensitive remarks, is a smoke screen. The National Association of Black Journalists led the outcry against Imus. We didn't need Sharpton or Jackson to tell us how we should feel about Imus's insults or how to recognize what is morally wrong.
So the natural question is: has Colbert King ever criticized a rapper? Or Al Sharpton?
I went into the Nexis news-data retrieval system to find out. A search for the terms Colbert King and words beginning with "rap" brought six mentions of "rape" or "rapture," but not "rap." How about Colbert King and music? Six mentions, no actual King columns. Colbert King and Sharpton? Nothing. This made me suspect the worst outcome: King's weekly columns aren't in Nexis.
Sure enough, search just for Colbert King and only 85 articles appear, including, oddly enough, piles of letters praising or opposing his columns. He won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary, but the Washington Post doesn't somehow get his columns included in Nexis? Weird.

Here's how it went down with the Imus affair [this is a selection from the complete article that can be found here: http://online.wsj.com/public/article... main_tff_top ]
At 6:14 a.m. on Wednesday, April 4, relatively few people were tuned into the "Imus in the Morning Show" when Don Imus referred to the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed ho's."
Ryan Chiachiere was. A 26-year-old researcher in Washington, D.C., for liberal watchdog organization Media Matters for America, he was assigned to monitor Mr. Imus's program. Mr. Chiachiere clipped the video, alerted his bosses and started working on a blog post for the organization's Web site.
*********************************
On the morning of the original broadcast, there was little response to Mr. Imus's slur. Media Matters posted the video and transcript on its Web site and sent an email blast to several hundred reporters, as it does nearly every day. The post received dozens of comments, many heated, some more than 300 words long. The next day, top news outlets didn't mention the incident.
On Thursday, at about 3 p.m., NBC News President Steve Capus was conducting a routine planning meeting in his third-floor offices at Rockefeller Center when an assistant interrupted him to take an urgent phone call, according to a person at the meeting. On the other line: MSNBC General Manager Dan Abrams. Mr. Abrams said MSNBC executives were fielding complaints from viewers and employees who had seen a video clip of Mr. Imus's remark on the Media Matters site, this person says.
The group is a Web-based nonprofit organization devoted to monitoring "conservative misinformation" in print, broadcast, cable, radio and Internet media outlets. It frequently complains about Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. Although the Imus show isn't generally considered conservative, some of its guests are.
Mr. Capus called an emergency meeting with MSNBC's management team, the producers for the TV version of "Imus in the Morning" and the head of public relations for NBC News. Among other decisions, Mr. Capus asked his PR team to draft a statement apologizing on behalf of MSNBC but clearly pointing out that "Imus in the Morning" was a CBS Radio production. MSNBC and NBC are owned by General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal.

Yea, there is NO liberal media bias - if you are liberal
Liberal Bias For What They DONÂ’T Say, Too
Posted by Warner Todd Huston on April 15, 2007 - 03:42.
For the last few weeks I have been watching two stories that, were they about Conservatives or Republicans, would have been scandals that would have shaken the rafters of the MSM. But, since these stories are about two favored Liberals, one old and one newly minted, we have seen no faux outrage, no shocked commentary, no calls for heads on pikes to be posted at the entrance to Congress, and no calls for resignations. Oh, the stories were reported all right, but all sensationalism was eschewed with the usual extrapolation to the level of a “culture of corruption” cast aside for a straight, newsy style atypical to their normal means against Republicans.
These two stories and the lack of passionate coverage of them by the MSM shows that the MSM employs as much liberal bias in what they chose not to cover as they do in what they chose to go ahead and focus upon.
The two stories IÂ’ve been following are:
Story one: Dem Senator Resigns Post Because Husband Makes Money on US Contracts She Controls
Story Two: SenatorÂ’s Aide Brings SenatorÂ’s Gun Into Senate Offices
With the first story, Senator Diane Feinstein (D, CA) has resigned as chairwoman and ranking member of the Senate's military construction appropriations subcommittee over charges that she has a “conflict of interest” because her husband has mysteriously made a hefty sum of money as a result of military contracts awarded to firms he has investments in.
As the Patriot Post has it:
California Senator Dianne Feinstein abruptly stepped down from the Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee this week, hoping to stem the tide of questions surfacing about the role she has played in defense contracts won by her husband, Richard Blum. An investigation pursued by the liberal California press and funded by The Nation magazine's investigative fund revealed that a number of defense contracts awarded to Blum's companies have interesting links to appropriations actions made during Feinstein's term on the committee.
Now, it's good that, as the Patriot Post puts it, a "liberal California press" pushed this story. But have you heard it outside of California? I have seen this story all over the place in the right leaning Blogosphere. Michelle Malkin, Paul Mirengoff of Powerline, News Max, Judicial Watch, and of course Newsbusters. All have reported on the story. I have also seen it in the Sacramento Bee, and a small paper in California called Metro Newspapers did a very extensive story on the issue. I have also seen a few terse and short notices in other traditional MSM sources, but no sensationalized or editorialized accounts.
So, where are the Haliburton-like calls of impropriety? Where are the charges of the “culture of corruption” and the claims of the unseemly connections? Where are calls for Senator Di Fi to step down and leave the Senate over her “appearance of graft”? Where are the Network’s talking heads sternly reporting on this depredation of ethics? Where are the outraged pundits?
Curiously, they remain practically silent.
Who can doubt that, were this a Republican, the MSM would sponsor a drumbeat of attacks against the perpetrator of such an ethics violation? Who doubts that the Democrat Congress would take up the MSMs drumbeat and the news over the issue would be inescapable, showing up everywhere you turn? And wouldn’t this story be a natural one to highlight after the lie that the Democrat's handed us upon their take over of Congress? After all didn't they claim they would be bringing back an “ethical” Congress?
Story Two: SenatorÂ’s Aide Arrested Bringing Gun Into Senate Offices
In part, the AP reported this on the day of the incident:
An aide to Sen. Jim Webb was arrested Monday when he entered a Senate office building with a loaded pistol belonging to the senator.
Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said the aide was charged with carrying a pistol without a license and possessing an unregistered firearm and unregistered ammunition.
A congressional official briefed on the incident said Webb gave the gun to Thompson when the assistant drove him to an airport earlier in the day. Thompson, upon entering the Senate building, forgot he was carrying the weapon.
"To our knowledge, this incident was an oversight," Webb's office said in a statement. It said it had no other details.
An “oversight”? This is a claim that the MSM seems to have taken for granted as if this is all there is to the story. It has since been dropped like a hot potato.
Now, this story got a bit more coverage by the MSM than the first one did, but I found only one report that seemed to go beyond a straight just-the-facts report of the incident in any way. That was a piece by the Washington PostÂ’sDana Milbank who treated the story more with lighthearted amusement than condemnation.
But most of the reports were matter of fact affairs that simply reported the facts of the case.
MSNBC , Reuters , The New York Times , The Hill, and the L.A. Times all took on the story with no hint of editorializingÂ… again a far cry from what they would do if this were a story about a Republican.
The story quickly faded into the past with no more notice paid it, all denizens of the MSM giving Senator Webb a pass and deciding en masse that it was to be a non-story. This whole incident showed quite well that leftists really donÂ’t care about individual candidates -- even their own -- but only about beating the GOP. Webb, despite what he has said in the past or truly believes in, was thought able to beat the leftÂ’s enemy du jour, George Allen, back during the 2006 midterms. On that basis alone they support him and continue to do so.
After all, Webb is very high on the 2nd Amendment and is well known for his off the wall positions on race and American history. In his book “Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped America”, Webb comes to the conclusion that his white southern kinsmen should rise up and take back their country from whatever enemy he sees ruining his beloved south which would be considered a "racist" position if a Republican took it. Not to mention that Webb had been a Republican until about 5 minutes before he announced his run for the Senate as a Democrat. Also not to mention that he obviously is sort of a creep with his personal relationships and comportment -- which even this story proved by Webb’s quickly throwing his own aide under the bus.
Yet, the left was able to look away from what Webb really believes in so that they could support a candidate that could beat George Allen. The candidate did not matter as long as he could win.
Imagine what they would have made of this story if Webb were a RepublicanÂ… or should I say if Webb was still a Republican!
And that is really the nub of the point of this story. The left doesnÂ’t care about the facts and they donÂ’t really stand on any principle as an insoluble point. All matters are fungible if they can be used to defeat the foe. The anti-gun issue would have been a perfect club for the left to beat an enemy in the Senate over the head with, but Webb is one of their boys. So, that whole anti-gun thing is forgotten. Being against corruption and ethics violations is great to use as a weapon against the GOP, but Senator Feinstein is their girl, so the issue is quickly and quietly dropped.
The left is just as hypocritical with what they donÂ’t say as with what they do say and as one of the leftÂ’s most important allies the MSM provides as much cover as needed to score the win. Even if that means letting a good story go awayÂ… or two stories as the case may be.
