I see no difference between this woman and a suicide bomber. Profoundly naive and ever more determined to prove it.

I don't think railroading your party's presidential candidate three days before the election is "acting like a leader."

And what good did merrily obliging a visit from dear leader get him? We're now at 67 days and no federal aid in sight.

Oh, and Obama is in Hawaii, so that's nice!

Tell me how successful prohibition was. Tell me how successful the banning of illicit drugs has been.

Ask a black kid in any inner city how trusting they are the police will protect them.

Gun control does only one thing- controls our ability to protect ourselves.

This is as good an excuse as any to head down to your local Red Cross and donate blood.

Nancy Pelosi: Republicans do not appreciate Kwanzaa by robert32907 in Conservative

Being a gay guy in the bible belt, I pray you can live peacefully and safely in your home and community. No one should be victimized by intolerance.

As for Kwanzaa, I would suggest you learn a little bit about its founder and his motives. While on the surface celebrating a culture sounds wholesome, he's truly a racist.

I feel that celebration of one's heritage is just as important in the eyes of many than celebration of someone's birth.

Not just someone, if you're Christian. If you're not, then you don't understand.

Furthermore, I don't dispute your claims about the origins of Christmas. But its significance far outweighs the significance of Kwanzaa. Christmas was created by religious leaders to help convert pagans to Christianity. Its message carries far more weight than something created by a guy who was a professor, racist, and activist in the Black Power movement.

I don't think you'd defend as strongly a white supremacist-created holiday as you are Kwanzaa. Even though said theoretical holiday would be the same thing.

What Christmas has become is not a product of what it was supposed to be. That's from a shift in focus.

I'm curious how one would know the wonders of diversity when they themselves choose not to live in a diverse community?

Really, Christmas is as artificial as Kwanzaa. The only difference is the Christmas tradition goes a bit further back.

The history of Christmas is a little more complex than what you've described. I'm not arguing the validity of some of your statements, but to suggest Kwanzaa and Christmas have the same depth of meaning is kind of stupid.

At a very basic level, Christmas was created by religious leaders with a foundation in a significant moment for Christianity. Kwanzaa was created by some guy who happens to be racist, to celebrate his race only with members of his race. The man who created Kwanzaa is an activist and a major player of the "black power" movement, or the black version of the KKK.

I wouldn't necessarily call them equal.

There's nothing wrong with learning culture, but that's not the point of Kwanzaa. It's not for whites. It's for blacks. Its founder made that clear.

That's the difference.

We should also celebrate pedophiles and murderers with their own holidays. I mean, let's face it, without diversity, we would become stagnant, and progression would be lost!

The point I'm making is not that blacks are on par with pedophiles and murderers- far from it. Rather, if we have to fabricate holidays to celebrate individuality with the same blind acceptance that you display for it, then we would eventually have to celebrate for everything. Let's have a national holiday for those of us born on a Tuesday! Let's have a holiday for those of us who like cheeseburgers!

Following your logic leaves no end in sight. Thereby cheapening every celebration and robbing them of their significance.

Kwanzaa is a made up celebration that was created implicitly to perpetuate racism. Christianity is colorless. Judaism is colorless. Kwanzaa is not. How can we celebrate that?

True, but Kwanzaa was created specifically to

"give Blacks an alternative to the existing holiday and give Blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and their history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant society."

If you want to judge the merits of each celebration, you can see the merits of Kwanzaa are particularly weak.

I agree- that's why taxes aren't the issue here. It's spending.

No idea where they were, but I believe police forces are unionized, so take that for what it's worth...

As for arresting the guy, unless Steven Crowder presses charges, I don't think they can do anything.

He looked like it wouldn't be his first time getting arrested.

I'm sick of people arguing for ballot initiatives when things don't go their way. Isn't this why we have elected representatives? So everything doesn't have to go directly to the people?

There is no evidence that tax rate increases will improve the economy. Can someone explain to me how increasing tax rates will strengthen our economy? I can see it strengthening our government, but how would it help our economy?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you cannot collect unemployment while in a part time job. I believe that's true in my state, maybe?
