by John Stossel
Yet those same politicians oversee a cruel system that now stages SWAT raids on people’s homes more than 100 times a day. People die in these raids — some weren’t even the intended targets of the police.
Neill Franklin once led such raids. The 33-year Maryland police veteran, now executive director of Law Enforcement Against...

“No clit in the pit” is bullshit too me. Every girl deserves to mosh, stage dive, and get mic feeds just as much as guys. It’s a stupid phrase that people started. And too be honest, it’s annoying. I know many girls who mosh and stage dive harder than any guy. Get off of your high horse and stop gender bashing because we don’t have a dick.

Here's the thing about Rick Santorum's "What a...
inothernews:
Look at the video again and you can see, hear, and feel the contempt in Santorum’s voice. He hates the president. To his core. It was unfettered, unabashed, unfiltered and utter, the utterest hatred for Obama I’ve ever heard. There was no uncomfortable laughter to mask it with, as Romney might employ; there was no soundbite of manufactured outrage, as personified by the hollow...

It would be nice if OP provided more context to the situation. While nobody likes white supremacists, you have to remember that they have the same rights as everyone else, no matter how despicable. They still have the freedom of speech, and are allowed to peacefully...
