I think it's a shame that the Sikhs are mistaken for Muslims. There's is truly a "Religion of Peace" as opposed to Islam. Unless you come from a cosmopolitan area like NYC, La, Chicago etc, most Americans are ignorant of what these religions teach. And our schools don't even teach our own history let alone the World's religions.
The Sikhs, Hindus and Buddhists share very different faiths, but I welcome them with open arms to our nation. We can learn much from their wisdom. Islam, although it has many beautiful people, come from a barbaric faith that has murdered many people of the other faiths mentioned.
That Tea Party guy, S.C. Senator....is an ignorant idiot. And I'm a Tea Party guy.
South Carolina Republican Calls President And Gov Candidate 'Ragheads'

South Carolina Republican and Tea Party favorite Nikki Haley, who has been battling so-far unfounded cheating allegations, and Democratic President Barack Obama, who has been battling, uhm, everything else, now have something in common.
They're both 'ragheads.'
At least that's what South Carolina state Sen. Jake Knotts believes. On an internet live-streaming show about South Carolina politics, Pub Politics, Knotts known for his sometimes outlandish language let loose on Haley who is running for governor. Knotts is supporting another candidate.
"We got a raghead in Washington; we don’t need one in South Carolina,” Knotts said, according to CNN. “She’s a raghead that’s ashamed of her religion trying to hid it behind being Methodist for political reasons." (Pub Politics editors refused to post the video on Friday.)
Haley was raised in a Sikh family but is now a practicing Methodist. President Obama’s father is from Africa. His mother is a white woman from Kansas. He is a practicing Christian.

PUBLIC OPINION > Chris Christie Should Stay a Republican
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has been at the center of media coverage for a while now. But more recently, the buzz has been about his proclaimed political party -- and whether or not he should change it.
Enough! Both sides need to wake up! It's far too easy to defeat the Progressive Socialist Agenda on its (ahem) merits without having to resort to Hard-Leftist Alinsky-style tactics!
Hey Democrats! Republicans! and all others in between: Alinsky's Rule 5 does NOT work on thinking Americans!
Argue the validity of your ideas from points of fact... and not perceived stereotypical observations... or LOSE!
I think it has been proven by both sides though that ridicule is in fact a powerful tactic. It appears that free thinkers and skeptics are a dying breed.
I have to disagree with the statement that Democrats have carte blanche for racial comments; There were calls for Senate majority leader Harry Reid to resign over comments that were much tamer than this.
Here you go my dear, since YOU obviously don't know jack about how to engage in a a frank discussion; this is the easiest way to describe the difference between Socialism, Communism, and Captialism--and this from a Democrat! It's so easy even YOU can get it!
“Socialism is when you own two cows and have to give one to your neighbor. Communism is when the government owns both the cows and gives you a little of the milk. Capitalism is when you own two cows, sell one, and buy a bull.”
ref: Zell Miller, A National Party No More, (Atlanta, GA: Stroud & Hall Publishing. 2003), p. 30.
Alinsky does NOT work on freedom-loving citizens! Liberals can't handle the truth and since this regime has been all about liberal policies (failed liberal policies at that) you wish to deflect the damaging course set by true socialist values you seem to espouse!
"DANGERS of capitalism" indeed! I tell you what. If you really believe that diatribe you're spewing, then I suggest you dump your 401K immediately (or be considered a hypocrite), sell your car (fossil-fuel-burning), cease using all of your electricity that is generated by oil, quit your job and let the government pay for your miserable existence.... and then let me know how that works for you!
Did I ever say any OTHER economic style is perfect? No. But you silly Republicans seem to think capitalism is the best thing ever. Which it's not. It has just as many problems as any other system.
Also, I could say the same thing to you. Before you complain about socialism, stop driving your car or walk on publicly owned roads, stop using public transit, never call any emergency numbers ever nor benefit from them, create EVERYTHING on you plan to own. YOU benefit plenty from socialism my friend.
