Where Do You Put a Mosque?

by Mike at The Big Stick on August 20, 2010

I decided to weigh in on the conversation about the proposed Islamic cultural center in NYC after participating in a short discussion about the subject on Facebook this weekend. Let me state clearly right at the start that I support the building of the center and it pains me that I seem to be splitting with many of my fellow conservatives on that point.

Off-Target

by Dennis SandersAugust 17, 2010

I have not said much about the Target controversy. For those not in the know, the discount-store chain Target, decided to give $150,000 to an indpendent political committee that supports Republican Tom Emmer for Governor. Emmer tends to be not-so-friendly when it comes to gay issues. Target, which is based in Minneapolis, made the donation [...]

Islam-bashing is Cool, continued

by Dennis SandersAugust 16, 2010

Daniel Jack Williamson (aka Buckeye RINO) responds to an earlier post: I couldn’t agree with you more.
