Addendum to UnNews 2

What should we do with the non-believers?  Put them to death!  Wow... that's a pretty progressive concept.  Radical Islam has only been doing that for thousands of years.  That said, at least Muslims  have an ethos... not an unquantifiable (per NASA global mean surface temps have not moved a degree in 20 years) scientific phenomena that TV says to believe in.

UnNews2: It isn't news, but it is news.

For every 8 people working in the private sector, 5 people are not working and receiving gov't benefits.

Egypt passes Sharia law.  I discussed this with a liberal friend shortly after the 'Arab Spring' began.  I chastised Obama clapping for freedom as Egypt fell, positing that Islamists would take over and Sharia law was a foregone conclusion.  I said that he was basically clapping for the formation of a regime hostile to both Israel and America.  He basically told me that (1) it's ok because they were elected to power and (2) (paraphrasing) we can't govern by what Israel would have us do (and he then went on to impugn Israel).  Typical evasive maneuvering.  I called this specific outcome from day 1.  Why is our President so infatuated with building Islamic governments with Sharia law?!?

Justice Sotomayor upheld free morning after pills.  Meaning my wife's Lasik isn't covered by health insurance, but the morning after pill is 100% covered.  Because needing to see without contacts is elective and needing to screw without protection isn't.

UnNews1(all the news you haven't heard)

Welcome to UnNews1 (all the news you haven't heard).  In my efforts to free my Facebook page from politics, I am starting a series of posts, UnNews.  Each brief summary is followed by a link to the article it describes.  All of these links are the articles I'd typically post on FB because I don't see them receiving the publicity that I think they deserve in the 'Mainstream' media.  Enjoy!



State Department punishments over Benghazi don't actually exist.  Despite a scathing report describing multiple failures on the part of the state department, no one is actually getting punished.

US Army will be sending troops to 35 different African nations.  The troops assigned mission is to train and equip locals to fight Islamic Radicalism.  Unless they are given orders to fight.

New York newspaper publishes a map of pistol owners in Westchester and Rockland counties.  I assume this is to shame the gun/pistol owners in front of their neighbors.  In other news, that same paper, the Journal News, has published a map of homes that don't have pistols (the same map).  Who do you think is more angry?  Who do you think is in more danger?  I love it when Liberals kick their own asses.

In the season of tolerance I've read all the usual stories of neighborhoods and public buildings having to take down crosses or nativity scenes.  Funny thing, I don't see this article published anywhere.  Apparently 77% of polled Americans identify as Christians.  Fancy that.

M.E.

I am starting to change my mind on what I think we should be doing in the middle east.  I don't think we're winning any hearts or minds.  We've killed 176 children in Pakistan in drone strikes. 

I am starting to think we should pull back all American troops to within american borders.  Bring our people home, and defend our own lands.  Stop being the world police.  Stop killing kids in the name of freedom.
