[Read more letters about this article: Here]Do you have something to disprove that belief?
Your taxes pay for education.
As for starvation and malnutrition:
http://www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/FoodSecurity/
(hint: official documents use euphemisms other than "starving" to report on such things. makes for bad copy, see.)
One thing to keep in mind when considering American "food security" is that in blighted cities, there are frequently NO food stores within miles other than gas stations. Supermarkets will simply not build in too-impoverished areas.
Also, don't let stereotypes block the perception of the situation: some of the poorest people on Earth are dirt-farming white folks in W. Virginia.

So what are you saying, shooter?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Do you mean that the constant rightwing criticism of the Democratic party is unfounded because they have, in fact, cooperated with nearly every insane fascist plan the administration has concocted? That the only reason neocons constantly bitch, bitch, bitch about Clinton et. al. is because they need a convenient enemy to demonize?
That Rush Limbaugh has been wasting my time?!! IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE TELLING ME?!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yes, I'm sure you want to shift the subject away from embarrassing topics.
No one cares how embarassed you are, you're the one who carries on in such an undignified way.

"girlification"
[Read the article: Right-wing blogs discover massive conspiracy to hide WMDs in Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Oh, shooter, I was thinking about you today. Remember when you said the real problem at VATech was the "girlification" of the males there, or something similarly Larouche-like?
You will rest easier knowing that there are still males with nuts as heartily robust and Rambo-like as your own:

[Read more letters about this article: Here]The SANE folks (reminds me of "Honest Al's Used Cars" for some reason) had an entertaining post on the vicious Left* wing blogger Glenn Greenwald, who calls himself a "civil rights" lawyer just like all those ACLU-types, trying to make their dhimmicratimexifemigay agenda seem reasonable.
Anyone interested in theology and the history of Christian thought will find SANE's theology sections amusing; they've apparently managed to absorb some neoplatonic/Thomist thinking from the classics to crticize modernism with, but they fall flat when trying to situate their fundie beliefs in the wider world the classical authors describe. (hrm, not actually that unlike the theological/magical/anti-modern beliefs of another notorious political movement...)
Here's a hint, guys: "allah" means "the ONE." It is the same God as Christ's; although you are welcome to believe the Muslims got everything wrong about that god, it's the same god. The medieval Christian theologians you admire so much (I do too, actually) got their Greek metaphysical ideas THROUGH the Arabs. If the Arabs didn't share the basic fundamental beliefs, this dialogue would have been impossible, yet it is a matter of historical record.
*for full credit in SANE correspondence classes, "Left" must be capitalized. This makes it Scarier.

Compare and Contrast
[Read the article: Right-wing blogs discover massive conspiracy to hide WMDs in Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here][...]"In response, one must admit readily that the radical liberal Jew is a fact of the West and a destructive one. Indeed, Jews in the main have turned their backs on the belief in G-d and His commandments as a book of laws for a particular and chosen people. These Jews, the overwhelming majority, have embraced modernity in its entirety. This means that they are wholly committed to the science-democracy reciprocal and this, per Descartes-Klein, Hobbes, Hegel-Kojève, leads to only one state of affairs: World Peace in the form of a World State. (Robert J. Loewenberg’s work on this subject, soon to be published by the Institute of Advanced Strategic & Political Studies, will be the definitive account and critique of the reciprocal and the Redirection conseqent to it.)"
[...]Their goal is the goal of all “progressives”: a determined use of liberal principles to deconstruct the Western nation state in a “historical” march to the World State.
http://www.saneworks.us/JudeoChristian-category-7.htm
[...]Let's now consider the third and last aspect of Judaism. As we have said, it concerns the common, modern, Jew without any special function or action, a part of that formless, levelled, mixture of men without faith, without caste and without tradition, which comprises at least two thirds of so-called 'civil society'. Here the Jew seems to be of the same mind as the non-Jew in a common agnosticism with respect to any higher value, in a common profession of liberalistic, bourgeois, conformist, mercantilist faith ; both seem to consider as really important only profession, profit, social position, and the Jew will be prone to consider his law a dead thing just as the 'liberated' non-Jew mocks and refers to as 'medieval superstition' the dogmas, the rites and the sacraments of the Western faith.
[...]And the fact that the Jewish capitalist, more or less 'legally' and 'honestly', in the liberalistic meaning of these words, has managed to come to power and to become the master of gold cannot mean anything in this connection, nor be a valid argument against a full anti-Semitism.

I think...
[Read the article: Right-wing blogs discover massive conspiracy to hide WMDs in Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...I'm going to get "I will not submit" tattooed on my arm in English, so neocons can read it.
Actually, maybe I better do it in both English and pictograms.
