freeAK47

They provide equipment and processing to businesses for credit card transactions. The company’s mantra is “God, Guns & Guts.”

If you prefer, the voucher can also be redeemed for cash.”…

PETA To Launch Porn Site To Promote Animal Rights

peta-campaign-logo-780981

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is being accused of exploiting women for the purpose of getting its message out.

“PETA is extremely disingenuous,” said Jennifer Pozner, executive director of the New York-based advocacy group Women In Media & News. “They have consistently used active sexism as their marketing strategy to garner attention. Their use of sexism has gotten more extreme and more degrading.

“This may be in their minds the only thing left at their disposal to lower the bar,” she said.

PETA doesn’t think that’s a very liberated view.

[PETA's Lindsay] Rajt denied that PETA has been …

Whatever Happened To Sacrifice?

by Stuart Shapiro

Frank Bruni wrote an insightful column on the problem in both Europe and the United States of the privileged classes (including the political classes) becoming addicted to their comforts.

Or will they budge enough so that opportunity still exists, some sense of fairness is preserved and investments with long-term payoffs can be made?. . .

Breitbart On Conservatives Vs Liberals: “We Outnumber Them…And We Have The Guns”

Submitted by Obewon

Speaking to a right-wing audience at a Massachusetts tea party event, and punctuating his words with, “I’m not kidding,” Andrew Breitbart used incendiary rhetoric to suggest a liberal vs conservative war.

“I’m under attack all the time. They call me gay, there are death threats… There are times where I’m not thinking as clearly as I should, and in those unclear moments, I always think to myself, ‘Fire the first shot.’ Bring it on. Because I know who’s on our side. They can only win a rhetorical and propaganda war. They cannot win. We outnumber them in …

Rep. Paul Ryan Calls President Obama’s Millionaire Tax Plan “Class Warfare”

120607_ryan

Congressman Paul Ryan believes that having millionaires pay their fair share to close the deficit gap is “class warfare.”

The tax proposal, which would be introduced in 2013 and limit the deductions and credits that high earners could take once they hit the million-dollar threshold, is part of a broad plan for $2 trillion in deficit reductions that Mr. Obama is expected to unveil on Monday at the White House.

Representative Paul D. Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee and a leading proponent of cutting spending on benefit programs like Medicare, said the proposal would weigh heavily on a …

As chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, he has been at odds with President Barack Obama over his administration’s response to the soaring unemployment rate in the African-American community.

Nearing 17 percent, joblessness among blacks is at a three-decade high and almost twice the size of the overall unemployment rate. The black caucus wants the president to do more…

“If (former President) Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be …
