Recently I learned that a school district in Missouri is affording Muslim students a designated area in the school library for prayer. While most Muslim students in this particular school pray during their lunch time, the school has afforded them a place for religious activities at school. While most may feel that it is ok to provide these accommodations, and it very well may be, we must ask if the same accommodations are being afforded to Christian students.
The separation of church and state argument has been going on for years and has even reached the point where a single person in California can impact the rights and lives of hundreds of thousands of others by protesting a "moment of silence" at the beginning of school, or the mention of God in the Pledge of Allegiance.
So, have we become such a politically correct (better termed ass-kissing) nation such that we hand cuff the majority of Americans at the demand of a few and at the same time afford minority religions freedoms that we don't even grant to the majority of Americans? Do we afford Muslims freedoms to pray in our public schools, even provide a designated location for the prayer, yet at the same time we bend over backwards to ensure Christians are not afforded the same freedoms? Have we went so far to the left that we embrace Alla but shun God? They are not the same. And if you think they are, the same argument applies.
What do you think?

How is it that.........
How is it that the Democrats have had control Congress for the last two years of the Bush Administration, the recession has been in full swing for just under two years, and President Bush gets the blame for the reckless spending of the government and the recession? How is it that the same Democrat controlled Congress that endorsed the spending under President Bush is now professing that they are the key to recovery via a ridiculous spending bill? How is the very same Congress that built the recession going to fix it with over $800 BILLION in new spending?
It doesn't add up folks. If you are one that thought we were mortgaging our children's future under the Democrat controlled Congress with President Bush in the White House, you better be really scared that we are going to be mortgaging our grand kids and great grand kids future with Democrat control of the Executive and Legislative branches of government!

Lip Service from the New Administration
As our new President sets off to "change" America the lip service given to bipartisianship during the campaign is appearing to be just that, "lip service". In a recent closed door meeting (so much for transparency as was eluded to in the Obama inaugural address) many of the invited Republicans reported to the media that Obama told them to quit listening to Rush Limbaugh if they wanted to "get along" with democrats. In other words, do what Democrats want and we will all get along. Well, I guess that is a "change", a change in the definition of bipartisianship!
There were almost 60 million Americans that did not vote for Obama in the election. I guess if they're not democrats, or don't agree with the current democats, that want to "spread the wealth" then they simply don't count.
According to news reports, the new President, when confronted by a critic in the closed door meeting about the economic stimulus package, referenced his Presidential election victory as his card that can trump all other opinions regarding the economic stimulus package. Of course, he often said throughout the campaign and after the election was over that he wanted any and all inputs and ideas no matter their source....of course, thats just more lip service. It seems as if the illusion of change and bipartisianship is the objective of the new administration.

Pelosi is an IDIOT!
The speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi-D, has
renewed her push to increase taxes on the top 2 tax brackets. She
professes this is the way to pay for the Obama-endorsed 825 billion
econ stimulus plan AND pay down the national deficit, which will
double if the 825B package is passed. So, in essence, she wants an
estimates 300B increase in gov't revenue by taxing the wealthy even
more, while she is spending 825B and doubling the deficit to approx. 2
trillion! So, Nancy, what about the remaining 1.7 trillion of deficit?
Perhaps the Speaker should give up her private jet that the tax payers
are footing the bill for! Perhaps she should push legislation that
bans "pork" from pending legislation. Perhaps she should tighten her
belt like she expects everyone else to do!
She is a disgrace to the USA and an IDIOT!

Hyphenated-America
America cannot and will not be united as one people until we, as Americans, become united as Americans, not hyphenated-Americans.
Caroline Kennedy a Front Runner for Hillary's US Senate seat????
After the media scrutinized Governor Palin's experience as a Mayor and the sitting Governor of Alaska, why is that same scrutiny not applied to Caroline Kennedy who has ZERO experience with anything remotely political other than her last name?
