Bragging about military victories for the sake of propaganda is a very dangerous game because, well it backfires a lot.

Banned from donating for wearing a hat
November 22nd 2008 17:35
I guess being a bigot is all well and good but for that extra touch why not turn down donations for the poor?

Everyone Should Give Up Their Beliefs and Embrace Islam
November 22nd 2008 07:31
The most vocal crowd of any ideology has the same thing to say, 'if only everyone believed what I did there would be peace'. I don't care if you're Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, Atheist, whatever, this is common to all of them.
This kind of loathing for other ideologies can be masked in any number of ways. The one I've been seeing more of is from the Atheist/secular humanist crowd where the advocation of said ideologies is done through the casual dismissal of other ideologies. This is a kind of reverse of how things work, usually it's 'my beliefs are better than yours so you should give yours up and start thinking like I do' wherein here we have 'your beliefs suck so you should give them up and start thinking like I do'.
Here's a real-world example:

Sounds dreamy, no? Lets switch secular humanists with Muslims,
Yes it works just as effectively, just because 'secular humanism' is about not accepting religion does not make it any less of an ideology and those who start with the 'secular humanism is the way to happiness!' routine they'd be no better than anyone else who decides he/she holds the one true belief that will save the world.

Secular Humanists do not wish to take over the world by force, they have no desire to control and tyrannise. They simply hope that one day, humanity at large will realise the we have the capacity to improve our world and own lives by rejecting ideologies that divide us such as nationalism and religion and embracing in their stead, our own humanity and mortality and simply "living for today".

The Sinking Ship That is Right Wing Politics
October 31st 2008 17:47
I feel sorry for the far right, they've been 'relevant' for so long that they are having a hard time adjusting now that reality has caught up with them.
There was a time they could accuse a man of being linked to Al-Qaeda with no evidence, put him in solitary confinement for 76 days, tourcher him and even Jon Stewart wouldn't question them[ Click here to read more ]

This is How Stupidly Superficial Society Is and Don't Dare Tell me I'm Wrong
October 27th 2008 16:54
There has been breaking news coming out of Chicago this morning. Police have found the 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban that they were looking for in connection to the search for Jennifer Hudson’s nephew, Julian. There was also a body of a boy found inside the vehicle. It hasn’t been confirmed that it is Jennifer’s nephew, but the boy is said to be around the same age as Julian.
All we can do is keep praying that the body isn’t Julian and that he’s still out there alive.
