Phillie Police Club Man Outside Resturanthttp://www.philly.com/philly/news/pennsylvania/20100913_Amid_protests__new_reports_of_police_abuse.html

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/pennsylvania/20100913_Amid_protests__new_reports_of_police_abuse.html From what I've seen on Youtube of the beating, and read, this is a clear example of undue force. Now I'm not sure if the cops side of things is true or not; but to bludgen someone like that should not be used as a first line of defense. And also police, as peace officers, should be familiar with methods of subduing, such as jujitsu. To brutally beat down on Askia Sabur like that is just overkill in my estimation. Plus, what do you suppose would happen if some ones child were injured like that, by his or her parent, and the parent were to use the excuse that the child attacked him first? And just to make it really interesting, lets say that the child were Caucasian. Do you think that such an explanation would fly? I'd certainly like to think not. But it seems to me that this is what the oppressor replies with, whenever they are charged with brutality. They'll act as if it's the fault of the victim, rather than there own personal responsibility, no matter how outlandish it might actually seem, and be. I sure hope that justice will be done in this case. And I also wish for all of the people of Philidelphia, Pennsylvania, to be able to feel safe in there own neighborhood, including namely the African-American population. And I think that those who've been reading my commentary here will know that I support community policing http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/default.asp?item=36 , and civilian firearm ownership, as long as the persons are liscenced, and the guns are registered, anyway. Whites in the country are permitted to have guns for there protection. And they need them too, as there is usually only one town constable on duty in there small towns. And the state troopers are stationed too far away to be of any real good. I have lived in PA.; so I know of which I speak. So why shouldn't law abiding, and responsible, blacks also be afforded the same liberty to protect themselves, not only from criminals, but rogue police as well? None that I can see. In fact this I feel is the reason for the second amendment, which guarentees our right to bear arms. And we do not rightly need anyone elses permission to defend ourselves, under the law, with or without armed force. Lastly the state should remember that it is supposed to be the servant of the people, not it's master. The city is not the police department's personal plantation. In fact, it rightly belongs to the people who live there, and the government only exists by the consent of the governed.

Pentecostal Pastor Plans On Publicly Burning Qurans in Bon Fire

http://home.myhughesnet.com/news/read.php?ps=1018&rip_id=%3CD9I38FCG0%40news.ap.org%3E&_LT=HOME_LARSDCCLM_UNEWS&page=1 While I'd rather he not use such an incendiary act; I recognise this man's inherent right to do this. It's not much different from people openly burning a flag; or from Marilyn Manson burning a Bible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCPSnaf3XSg But yet it is also as counterproductively futile as the bishops burning Tyndale's translation of the Bible. The money spent for books to burn will only go to print even more of them! But I am still glad to be living in a free country, where people may get away with blaspheming other's religion. Though I also remember with caution the words of Heinrich Heine, whom stated that where people burn books they will later burn people. http://www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/burning/burning.html

Right-Wing Prpogandists Defame Debunkershttp://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/s/snopes.htm

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/s/snopes.htm I just today received an e-mail from which was indirectly sent to me by someone whom I suspect is a dominionist. He obviously has his own agenda, which is to subject our country to his politicised religion. Yet he audaciticly charges that Snopes.com is not a reliable source of information; simply because it is run by a couple who supposedly both Jewish, and liberal Democrats. Well, this is a fallacious arguement called "Bulverism". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulverism Just because the Mikkelsons might wish to debunk defamatory rumours about Pres. Obama does not make them untrustworthy, just as long as they can demonstate there determination with information. I find this to be just one more case of how certain so called conservatives can be just as deceitful as Goebbels.

Opposition Rises Over Planned Islamic Community CEnter

http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/06/06/new.york.ground.zero.mosque/index.html I wonder if we should then also bar any churches from building on sites where Amerindians were slaughtered by Christian invaders. I just recently read a book, titled "The True Story of Pocahontas". http://www.fulcrum-books.com/productdetails.cfm?sku=632-5&reviews=1 It details how the English transgressed, and attacked, the Powhattan. So I think that if the planned site is not built, neither should there be any churches in Jamestown, VA. I do understand the concerns of the protesters though. But do we really want to become like the People's Republic of China; where all religious bodies must register, and be approved by the Bureau For Religious Affairs? So though I both hope, and trust that it will be checked out by concerned citizens; I support there right to construct a MUslim meeting place.

Republican Candidate for Governor of Minnesota Has Ties With Homophobic Hate Rock Group.

http://minnesotaindependent.com/59386/emmer-on-anti-gay-hard-rock-ministry-these-are-nice-people Best Buy, and Target, are in hot water after it was revealed that they made contributions to a candidate whom then gave money to an extremist supposedly Christian rock band Now Target recently apologised for this misguided action; but it just goes to show how extreme certain mainstream politicians have become. And if this were a black meatal band that had lyrics that encouraged the killing of Christians, and some Democratic candidate was discovered to have supported them, I wonder if this person would be able to get away with saying that they are simply exercising there freedom of speech. I think not. Already you have Marilyn Manson being blamed for various school shootings, rightly or not. I wonder therefore if alledged GLBT students were to be attacked after listening to the so called music of this band would the band get blamed for it's incendiary rhetoric? Oh yeah, dominionism is simply all about changing hearts; don't make me laugh. This is just further proof that radical Islamists and dominionists are kindred spirits.

Tyranical Pastor Oppressively Beats Alledged Sexual Abuse Victim. http://www.talk2action.org/story/2006/5/12/16189/4426

http://www.talk2action.org/story/2006/5/12/16189/4426 Now this is particularly outrageously oppressive. And it also illustrates the lack of due process concerning corporal punishment. It's all at the discretion of the clerical/parental authority. I think that probally Singapore has more propper procedere in administering canings than this so called church group does. And Singapore is an authoritarian, right-wing, predominantly Muslim, country. I feel that youth that are suffering under such an abusive situation should rebel. If there is ever a right to revolt; this is the time for it. Minors, and/or other people under the yoke of such religious based oppression should fight back with all due force. Trust me when I tell you this; these unjust authority figures are essentially a bunch of bullies. All it takes is for a determined group of people to stand up to them, and resist them, in order for them to back off.

Woman Attacks Her Autistic Children With Deadly Force.

http://home.myhughesnet.com/news/read.php?ps=1018&rip_id=%3CD9H3PCDO0%40news.ap.org%3E&_LT=HOME_LARSDCCLM_UNEWS This is yet another instance of intolerance of neuro-diversity. Certain ignorant people tend to think of autists as being less than human; because a number of us seem to them to be in our own world. Now I have charecteristics of Asperger syndrome; so I'm what's known as high functioning. Therefore it's not as apparant that I'm even on the autistic spectrum. I'm not really what one thinks of when they think of autism. But I feel that all indivisuals should have the right to live, and be treated with dignity, no matter there level of functioning. We all have something unique to offer the world, if given the chance. Now these two young children will never get the chance to live, love, and pursue happiness; all because of there mother's shallow selfishness. She felt that she should have the power of life and death over them; and that her life was more important than there's.
