Radical Christianity??

Rosie O'Donnell once again shows that she's safe from the threat of being accused of having any trace of the ability to think rationally.

She actually said that radical Christianity is as great of a threat as radical Islam. One would think she got her information from reading comic books but their academic qualities are too much for her to comprehend.

Does anyone have any idea where she could have come up with such nonsense? Maybe from Katie Couric?

She says weren't attacked by a nation. Does the Taliban and Afghanistan come to anyones mind? Afghanistan was, duh, ran by the Taliban. The Taliban trained al queda in the country they ran. Does anybody remember President Bush telling the Taliban to turn over the al queda members that were responsible for the crime of murdering innocent people. Does anybody remember the Taliban handing them over? Of course not.

Does anybody remember who the U.S. attacked? It was the Taliban and al queda. Anybody that was an innocent bystander and was killed can rest assured they weren't targets. Al queda targets the innocent.

Christianity doesn't murder. Islam does.

The real tragedy is that there are people that think she's right.

Living Wage May Not Be the Solution

Have you heard the news? A study issued by the Employment Policies Institute says the so-called "living wage", A.K.A. a higher minimum wage, may be more of a hindrance than a help. The study has found that prices tend to surge as unemployment rises in municipalities that require employers to pay more than the federal or state minimum wages.

NO KIDDING???

Robert Strauss, an economics professor at Carnegie-Mellon University and the guy who conducted the study for the Employment Policies Institute said, "Municipalities that adopt living wage ordinances holding various things constant, have on average ten percent lower employment after adoption."

In case you don't get it, this means that employers have to let employees go in order to pay the other employees the mandatory higher wage. This means that unemployment goes up.

Strauss admitted that he was surprised by the outcome of his study. Now if only congress can figure it out.

Chicago's Mayor Daley Defies Liberal Thinking

In what may be the first time in recent history a democrat actually did the right thing instead of following the way the wind blows.

Daley vetoed a law that would have re
quired retailers earning over $1 billion in annual sales and stores with at least 90,000 square feet of space to pay workers at least $10 an hour in wages plus $3 in benefits by mid-2010.

He
had campaigned against the measure for months because he claimed it would drive jobs and desperately needed development from some of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods and cause most retail giants to abandon the city.

Hooray for Mayor Daley.

9/11/2001 Where Were You?

Five years ago today the single worst act of terrorism committed on U.S. soil, nearly 3,000 people died when two hijacked jetliners crashed into New York's World Trade Center, causing the twin towers to fall, a commandeered jetliner smashed into the Pentagon and a fourth hijacked plane crashed in western Pennsylvania. In each case, the cause of the terror were practitioners of that "religion of peace".

I was fishing with my father in law. Where were you?
