5 things I learned as a leftist that are still (mostly) true

Stole These Ideas

R. Lee Ermey and the hazards of hero worship

Hero worship feeds our secret hope that “somebody” will come along to finally shift that giant ugly sofa that is “Obama’s socialism” or “creeping sharia” or “political correctness,” while we get to hover around, make encouraging noises, and “supervise.”

‘Red State’: Kevin Smith’s new film targets religious extremists. Guess which religion? Oh, sure you can!

Blogger IsraelyCool and Brian of London call it an emergency: Palestine Media Watch (PMW) translates and posts videos from the TV Channels of both the official Palestinian Authority (rulled by Fattah) and Hamas TV.
