There is nothing batshit about her post. And I thought Spin went out of business.
Hey I like her music on record and think I agree with her politically over all but that is the rambling of someone who is batshit.
In other news, austerity kills.
That is my attempt at baiting RatBastard. But yeah anyone who promotes austerity is a promoter of unnecessary death.

What is batshit about it. We do have mercenary armies. More "contractors" have been killed in Afghanistan than US soldier. We do need a third party. Actually I think it makes a lot of sense.
See? You said all that and it didn't get all rambly and nonsensical. Her on the other hand? No.
For some reason i had a Facebook friend request yesterday from Mark Pirro (former bassist in Tripping Daisy and current bassist in the Polyphonic Spree). I accepted.

Came across this photo today and it blew my mind.
you know, maybe im stupid and this will sound dumb, but it makes sense to me.
after the scandals that rocked the catholic church with lone priests doind horrible things and the religion as a whole doing nothing about it . . . the catholic church came close to be a mockery and falling into ruin. and then they cleaned it up. the rest of the church got off their asses and did something about it because they did not want their faith and their religion ruined by these individual acts.
why cant islam/muslim religion do the same thing? why cant they clean up their problems. dont they know how it effects the rest of the image of their religion. dont they know that people hate muslims because of the actions of a few. dont they know that they risk people or whole countries banning their religion. dont they know of the backlash. dont they remember when a religious group was singled out for a countrys problems. is that what they want. to be witch hunted. to be hated as a group. is fixing a problem that fucking hard.
or does this make me racist . . . because i dare ask the question.

I'm not at all convinced the church is anywhere close to redemption.
Ears were ringing pretty good after the Coliseum show last night - and I wore earplugs. My condolences to those who didn't.
Additional condolences to those who left after Red Hare and missed Coliseum. Best band of the night, by far.

He told me about doing that!
Walkies, Not sure you are asking the right questions. Read. Yeah I know I always am quick to post a Greenwald op-ed but he is pretty much always spot on in his observations.
Oh and the Catholic church is still 100 trillion kinds of fucked. And American Evangelical Christians are still funding politicians in Uganda that are calling for gay people to be executed for being gay. And there was that Neo-Nazi American (not sure if he had any religious ties?) who shot up that temple in Wisconsin. And that other Neo-Nazi dude in Norway who shot up all those kids a few years back. And that right wing Christian who killed George Tiller. And the Buddhist extremists in Burma who are slaughtering entire villages of people as I type this. And then there are all of the atrocities that the Israeli military regularly commits with the use of our tax dollars. And then there are the drone bombings that we have been conducting over countries we are supposedly not at war with. And the bombings that we have conducted over the countries that we have been at war with. You get the idea.
So yeah. Long story short, it is not just Muslims.

not just but overwhelmingly… and don't be an apologist for these people who happen to be muslims and say they do the hateful things they do because of their religion.. THEY BRING UP their muslim-ness not me..they frame it in religious terms…
muslims need to look in the mirror and stop acting like victims here..of course not all muslims… not even most are bad apples but there are quite a few… and I think all muslims should focus their effort more on not being outraged at the West for, often times, incorrectly equating muslims but focus their outrage on the muslims who are wreaking havoc..sometimes sectors of muslim society even seem to sort of justify these terrorists etc….. their fuckin' countries are largely a shithole while they concentrate on blaming "evil Israel" and thereby deflecting.. I mean come on… Bashir Assad is a fuckin' joke…. you dont' get any more repressive than the Saudis… you got the Iranian mullahs…and you can go on and on and on.. the Pakistanis hiding OBL at what was essentially their West Point… and the hypocrisy..good lord… they have no issues taking our money for their oil or our aid but good lord if we say one word..
I mean fuck is anybody going to put their hands in the fire for karzai? he is a two bit crook..a shyster…. and he is the alternative to the taliban? these countries are seriously fucked if those are the political options they can muster and it says something about their lack of development that their two options are some ass-backwards religious intolerant bigots or a two bit corrupt as all else dictator… and you know what? in a lot of the muslim world those are the options… Nawaz Sharif just got reelected in Pakistan.. REELECTED by the people! He is a proven corrupt guy who has already been PM TWICE…..
I mean look: Israel is here to stay… lets move on.

Woolwich and the Muslim Response
Muslim leaders have been scared into silence. Prevent officers visiting mosques and community leaders frighten them. They are told that if Muslims display any political opinions outside the mainstream then they are extremists, that if they do not inform on them, that their bank accounts can be frozen, mosques closed and they could face prison. Muslims are afraid. Muslim organisations and leaders are subservient to the state, scared to mention foreign policy as a radicalising factor just in case they are harangued for justifying the murder. It has got to such a state that we do not even realise that our minds have been conditioned through years of media misrepresentation and widespread Islamophobia. Questioning the reason for a murder does not mean condoning or justifying it. Condemning something that has nothing to do with you feeds into the narrative that this is a Muslim problem, that this is something that the Muslim community are responsible for, at least in part.

is it easier . . . to not care and keep your mouth shut, or to care and have people tell you to keep your mouth shut?
