ACLU Turns Blind Eye to Sharia Law being practiced in America
Daniel Mach, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's program on Freedom of Religion and Belief, and Jamil Dakwar, director of the ACLU's Human Rights program, recently co-authored an article on the Huffington Post attacking legislative efforts to prohibit the application of foreign laws inconsistent with the rights granted by the U.S. and state constitutions or state public policy. The article posits a series of disjointed, hypothetical misapplications of the legislative efforts to prevent sharia from encroaching into our legal system. Yet, the authors cite no actual examples of misapplications of laws already passed and in force, in Tennessee, Louisiana, and Arizona. The authors fail to distinguish this American Laws for American Courts (ALAC) legislation from other [...]
70 Percent say America is on the Wrong Track
A new CBS News poll has distressing news for President Obama as he begins his campaign for re-election: fully 70 percent of Americans believe the country is on the “wrong track”–a figure that’s jumped twenty percentage points since Obama took office in 2009. “There is a clear message from this poll: people are just sick of Washington and Washington politicians,” said CBS News political correspondent Jan Crawford on CBS’ Early Show Friday morning. “Americans are saying things are getting worse, not better.” Pollsters specifically asked about the president’s handling of the economy, and 57 percent said they disapproved of the way President Obama is handling the economy. “That’s his highest disapproval rating on the economy since he took office,” said [...]
GE Tax Refund gift to offset Federal Debt – Hoax.. what? you thought G.E. would help America?
You really though General Electric gave their tax refund back to the United States Government to pay their fair share and off set the national debt? Yeah and I bet you believed the hacker who said Politisite was bought by the Huffington Post for 3.4 Million dollars. Both won't be happening General Electric Co, embroiled in controversy over its low 2010 U.S. tax bill, was the target of a bogus press release claiming that it would donate billions of dollars to the federal government. The official-looking release, complete with the GE logo and slogan "imagination at work", said that GE would send its $3.2 billion tax refund from 2010 back to Washington. The Yes Men, an activist group known for issuing hoax statements claiming major attitude changes in corporate America, said it [...]
The 10 Most Segregated Cities in America are all found in the Southern United States, Right?
By Albert N. Milliron, Opinion-Editorial, Politisite.com and Iron Mill News Service (Iron Mill News Service)-- Well if you read mainstream news sources your would think the headline reflects pretty accurately what is transmitted through our airwaves each day. But when assumptions are put to real statistical data analysis, a different trend arises from the ashes. So the Segregated cities are from South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi right? I mean surely Louisiana must be on the list. If you thought of those states, you would be wrong in each case. In Fact, the top five most segregated cities in America don't even hail from the south. The cities who actually hold top billing are: Detroit, Michigan Milwaukee, Wisconsin New York, New York Newark, New [...]
Presidential Overreach – Obama’s Organizing for America Involved in Wisconsin Protests
Today the White House declined comment and directed questions to the DNC when asked about a Washington Post article that suggested the White House had a role in stoking the protests in Madison. The White house related that their only involvement was a comment on Television. The reporter alluded to the Presidents ties to Organizing for America who are deeply involved in the protests over Union collective bargaining rights in the Wisconsin capital. Politisite has pointed out here and on the web that some of the major actors in this protest still have links to Obama For America which redirects to the website Organizing for America. The link to Organizing for America in Wisconsin via Google is: Organizing for America | Introducing OFA Wisconsin Organizing for America - Wisconsin is [...]
Fidel Castro: America a Ruined Nation, Tea Party is Extreme and Leading to Fascism
Fidel sounds like Democrat leadership talking points. Well, it’s official. If this monster is threatened by it, the Tea Party can’t be all bad: Speaking to a group of students visiting Havana, former Cuban leader Fidel Castro accused the Tea Party of leading the United States towards “fascism.” In his comments, Castro chided the United States as a “ruined nation” and derided the Tea Party as “extreme right.” I mean just recently Castro was apologizing for sending gay people to labor camps, but I think we know the real threat in the Western Hemisphere is people who oppose fine state run health care systems like the one they have in Cuba where patients have to “arrive with their own syringes, towels and bed sheets.” I hope Oliver Stone drops everything and hops [...]
The Alvin Greene manifesto for a fairer America – The Guardian
Recently, the millionaires' club known as the US senate voted to cut off unemployment benefits for millions of Americans. One senator called unemployment insurance a "necessary evil". He got that half right. Do any of these fat cats know what it's like to be unemployed? To not know how you will feed your children and pay your mortgage? I'm unemployed, and, if elected, I can teach the Harvard rich kids in the White House and the senate a thing or two. I will vote for any law and propose any measure to keep jobs in my state of South Carolina. I will vote for huge tariffs, and, if necessary, vote to ban imports of foreign goods. Millionaire egghead politicians in the pocket of big business talk about "free trade" – and let all of your jobs get shipped overseas. No more free [...]
