Tell that to my uncle on FB, his come back to that is “look what’s happening in britain”. You mean where there’s no sharia law? STILL? Read more

I’d also add that other orthodox religious groups have their own laws, but you won’t see protesters in front of a temple in Brooklyn. Some Jewish groups have their own version of a court system, same with some mormon sects. Read more

We were never, ever cool. And anything that accidentally presented as cool, was actually just the cool 1% of us, being backed by some toothpaste company that wants to convince you that you need their product Read more

It comes from the fact that Muslims are different, and it’s super easy to demonize a different culture that people know almost nothing about. The people who believe in “creeping Sharia” are people who have never taken the time to actually talk to the Muslims who live in the US and learn about who they are. They get… Read more

The US already HAS Sharia law... that’s the funny part.. its not associated with Islam, but it already has it. Read more

Well, considering one party is aggressively pursuing policies of bigotry and hatred.

And is constantly trying to pass numerous laws that give more money to the ultra wealthy and… Read more

Whenever I hear Americans say Sharia law being implemented is a threat or even possible I have to worry about my eyes rolling out of my skull. Read more

Do they think conservatives don’t make plumber butt jokes? Read more

Well, that was the plan too. The Right is nothing if not strategic. Chipping away in small chunks overtime and making things difficult to roll back. It doesn’t help that they refuse to compromise but, should the left dig in their heels, are the first to shout about how no one compromises.

It’s abusive, plain and simple. Poor people and dumb people are their customers and the GOP has put a lot of work into brand loyalty. They’re no worse than Planet Fitness charging 300lbs sad people $15 a month for infinity. It’s all about selling an easy fix for a better future. The Republicans have sold their base on… Read more

Regarding “self-demonization,” what lesson I think we could learn is that we all have a tendency to “Other.” You’ve shown a great example here of how the Right “others” the Left. Meanwhile, the Left has shown a willingness to caricature the South for decades and, especially after this past election, the Midwest. I… Read more

There is nothing on the left like Fox Fake News. There is no left-wing, 24 hours a day channel that sells lies as news. No, not MSNBC. They might have a left wing bias. But they don’t have a central figure at the top pushing their agenda through every program so that the “news” shows and the “editorial” shows are… Read more

But that isn’t what this article is even about. This article is about how a certain type of liberal clutches… Read more

There are three types of tut-tutters. First, you have your conservatives who like to portray themselves as moderates or who claim the Democratic Party left them behind by becoming more liberal, or focused on special interests - which is just code words for civil rights. Read more

I blame Bush I (“L-word”!) but even more, Dinesh D’Souza, who managed, somehow, through hearing the term “politically correct,” to paint everyone to the left of Attila the Hun as a Stalinist. See, e.g.,

Funny how the cancer starts - Deregulation and Reagan Era shitting on/chipping away at the various protections we had established to ensure our electorate was well educated and informed. Read more

I am a former Chicagoan, and I remember these women being arrested, in about 1971 ? They were using an appartment in my old neighborhood for procedures. I don’t know what happened after that, I think Roe made it moot. Read more
