Chances are you're probably right. Education is not this country's strong suit.

Wisconsin... Yes...I live [t]here. We are the first state to let a governor survive a recall in US history...and the governor in question was a tea-bagger. ....Yeah this state is fucked.

I think Kentucky where I live has you beat. We keep voting Mitch McConnell into office. Go figure. Talk about being fucked and fucked up!

I call partial bullshit on this. Right wing bigots still have a problem with any outsider. Sikhs don't represent the "media" threat they falsely see. It would not surprise me that the targets were mistaken for Muslims.

But asshole right wingers I seriously doubt would want a Sikh marrying into their family. Could you imagine Thanksgiving at a that mixed family? Do you really think that the asshole who did this would want a turban at.
his table?

Do you think the Chick Fil A owners would vote for a Sikh or want someone in their family marrying a Sikh?

This might be interesting as I read that the gunman in question was demoted and expelled from the armed forces ...? ...

Back to Batman........


http://apnews.excite.com/article/2012080...Q1CG2.html

Quote:COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A northeast Ohio man brought a gun, ammunition and several knives to a showing of the latest Batman movie because he wanted to protect himself in case someone tried to replicate last month's deadly Colorado theater shooting, his attorney said Tuesday.

Quote:Police searched Smith's North Ridgeville home Monday night and found more weapons, including at least six pistols and several shotguns and rifles, and thousands of rounds of ammunition. They also found more than one bulletproof vest.


I'll be waiting for the NRA and their knuckle-draggers to explain the
"sporting" value of a bulletproof vest. Are the deer shooting back?

Oh, I don't know; I think a suicide bomber would have to be pretty stupid.
