    When exactly was the last of the Crusades?
    Speech the crusades ended around the 12th century so the muslims had been busy for seven hundred years at that time

    Ah, 2000 years ago. So it's no longer relevant I assume?
    Karma by talking about 2000 years I expect you are eluding to Jesus who predated Mudhatmad by some 600 years. Jesus is relevant today, just as relevant as he was then all we have got from the followers of Mudhatmad is war and conflict and an ideology that is not relevant today

    The results of that GOP-led inquiry? Abortion clinics are already very well-regulated, and the services they provide are extremely safe.

    Hey... if the lefties are getting money for Obamacare... us righties are entitled to our share too. SO the numbers don't get skewed.


    But everyone should get the same exemptions Owebama has granted the Unions and congressional staffs.

    Bull... everything was better before Owebama got into office...

    Nothing has gotten better... and our benefits have gotten progressively worse the entire 5 years... and they are about to get much worse...

    But then the average lefty really can't stand to see anyone with something better than they have... unless its them that have it then they want to keep everyone else from getting it.

    So with the Democrat party... its all about the race to the bottom. They want to drag everyone down to their level rather than encourage them to work to better themselves to everyone else's level like the Republicans want.

    Uh, when they aren't claiming executive privilege the administration is otherwise obstructing the investigations.

    It's come to this, Law and Order SVU is combining all your favorite racist cases into one (except of course, the infant shot in its stroller, the Duncan OK shooting, etc.).

    'Paula Deen SHOOTS Trayvon Martin' in new SVU that wraps both scandals into one controversial episode...

    The episode also plans on dealing with New York's stop-and-frisk policy for your viewing pleasure.

    Uh oh, Stride Rite is in the cross hairs for gender stereotyping.

    Quote:

    Yet another brand has angered parents by marketing to girls and boys separately and using antiquated gender stereotypes to do so. This time, ads by shoe company Stride Rite suggest girls are princesses and boys are powerful. The ad featuring a young girl is pink, purple and sparkly while the boy ad sticks to conventional "masculine" colors.

    http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1316039/th...RITE-570.jpg?5

    Margot Magowan, a mom of three girls, wrote a letter to Stride Rite explaining why she will no longer be shopping there and posted it on her site, Reel Girl. "What’s with your gender stereotyping? I don’t get it. Aren’t girls and boys feet pretty similar? Don’t all kids need shoes where they can be active? Please tell me why Stride Rite markets shoes to little kids as if girls and boys are completely different species," she began.
    I saw Margot on the news and she swore not to shop at Stride Rite as long as they keep boys shoes on one side and girls shoes on the other.

    a) What's wrong with boys and girls being different?

    b) Don't you grievance mongers have anything better to do?

    I guess unisex underwear will be their next agenda item to push for. Because heaven forbid women were lacey things and guys werar guy stuff.

    Hello again,

    Women's clothing CAN be sold without painting women's role in society as secondary to men. Using STRONG women would probably sell more shoes, anyway..

    I'll betcha this add was thought up by an OLD white guy who watches Bill O'Reilly, and laments the "loss" of our culture...

    Bwa, ha ha ha ha.

    And yet the first thing any good leftist editor does is take a decent looking feminist hero, get her out of her sneakers and put her in heels in Vogue.

    That's absolutely sending the wrong message.

    I chalk it up that excon is in the camp for unisex clothing for boys and girls.

    Sorry, but I don't consider thinking of my girl as a princess means she's secondary to men. Equality does not mean sameness.
