How can we be sure this isn't just for show?
A lot of countries have fake opposition parties to create the image of "democracy" but in reality they are controlled by the government.
I'm not saying that no other country has shady deals, but in terms of corruption, China tops the world:

Golden Dawn is an exception to the rule, I would say. And let me state for the record I despise everything GD and the Front-Nationale stands for. Geert Wilders on the other hand actually isn't so bad as many of his policies are actually progressive (for example as far as I know, Wilders is...
I never said the Jewish people control the media. However the ties between corporate media, big business and multi-billion dollar Arab oil interests are actually very hard to deny (a Saudi prince for instance is part owner of Fox News and Arab supremacist organizations like CAIR regularly try...
I think that "Islamophobia" is largely made up by Muslims themselves. The only reason we hear so much about it is that the Arab lobby here in America exercises a great amount of control over the media so are able to insert these kinds of stories where there really aren't any.
Actually, Pat...
Israeli-Arab, female and headed for the Knesset | The Times of Israel
Arab women in the Israeli Knesset.
For the Israel haters, can you name one Jewish woman in the Parliament, legislature, or even in the local government of any Arab or Muslim nation?
I would know very little of Israeli politics, but it seems to me that it is similar to European politics in that even the "right-wing" parties would be to the left of the Democratic Party here in the United States. I could be wrong but that is my general impression.
That said I am fully...
Fox News was pretty "statist" for 8 years when Bush was in the Whitehouse, but that really is just a small drop in the bucket compared to everything they've done.
The FCC is very clear on the responsibilities of broadcasters. Specifically, firms must be run by people of "good character", who...
Even the Pledge of Allegiance is controversial since "under God" an is an unconstitutional endorsement of the xtian god in public school. I don't know how anyone can think that forcing people to plege allegiance with the words "so help me god" is a good idea.
Arizona Republicans Propose Bill That Would Not Allow Atheists To Graduate High School
Just another example of Republicans being stuck in the wrong century.
These are all excellent points. I don't know why Faux "Noise" as I like to call it is even still allowed to be on the air given that it has been exposed many times their only aim is to lie about Obama, instill fear, and even at times try to encourage violence (aka promiting the Teabaggers)...
Here's a humorous, yet informative article about reviving ancient Greek spirituality:
Can we bring the Greek Gods back, please?
Personally I think he makes quite a decent case.
Thoughts?
How can it be abuse when Hundreds of thousands of Iranians were shouting this after Ahmadinejad stole the election in 2009. Are you saying that all of those people should be silenced just because you don't agree with them? Why is their opinion any less valid than yours just because they don't...
Not to spoil the mood or anything but it's not completely that he works for the Iranian government in some capacity and is thus one of the privileged few who is permitted access to sites such as this. My guess if is he was someone willing to circumvent the local laws in Iran, his views might not...
I don't think conservatives actually respect the constitution. The Christian right in America has declared war on freedom, equality, and justice for over 50 years now, and quite frankly it sickens me.
They don't think men should ever have any responsibility; oh sure, men are allowed to rape...
