The 25 Most Un-American Reactions to the 9/11 Anniversary

Please. Gag me with 3,000 spoons: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-25-most-un-american-reactions-to-the-911-anni

My main problem? The ignorance of society, and by that I mean stupid Americans. We aren't a Christian country; we are a country with a large Christian population. There's a difference.

The fact that people can take a day like September 11th and transform it into a moment of political bashing is just disgusting. Yesterday was a day of rememberance, and every American was grieving, all religions aside.

Please. Get your heads out of your asses, people.

Yup, You're right, Pat Robertson. I am a member of a culture of death and want to kill babies.

Seriously, people?: "The Muslims Next Door"

Are you kidding me? Seriously?! I am one of the most accepting people out there, and this is just disgusting to read. Victoria Jackson - a former SNL actress - has written an article that just about covers all forms of hate and fear possible.


People like her MAKE me want to be a Democrat.

Check it out, if you can stomach a healthy dose of intolerance, racism, and homophobia: The Muslims next door

"Fear, after all, is our real enemy. Fear is taking over our world. Fear is being used as a tool of manipulation in our society. Itʼs how politicians peddle policy and how Madison Avenue sells us things that we donʼt need. Think about it. Fear that weʼre going to be attacked, fear that there are communists lurking around every corner, fear that some little Caribbean country that doesnʼt believe in our way of life poses a threat to us. Fear that black culture may take over the world. Fear of Elvis Presleyʼs hips. Well, maybe that one is a real fear. Fear that our bad breath might ruin our friendships… Fear of growing old and being alone."

Home for the Holidays



Can you have culture shock in your own home town? I've been back in Virginia for 3 days and I am already baffled, startled, and confused by some of the things that I have seen and heard. Does my disagreement make me a "city slicker" or a snob? I don't think so, but I can't help but wonder if other people do.

I don't care what your politics are; I do care when you are racist and intolerant.

Read My Rights, TSA


As a frequent flyer who has now been frequently violated by TSA, I feel like I should buy these to at least give them a little run for their money. Hey, who knows, maybe I'll get a chuckle or two in the process.
