Are all Italians in the Mafia? Is every Arab a terrorist? Did Timothy McVeigh's politically motivated Oklahoma City Bombing represent the views of Gulf War Veterans or NASCAR loving Christians? Did Rush Limbaugh's misogynistic comments about Sandra Fluke reflect the thoughts and feelings of all Republicans?
Believe it or not, there was a time when people actually blamed rape victims because of their choice of clothing. Something is seriously wrong with Geraldo Rivera. He's never fully recovered from The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults television fiasco back in 1986. Read More...
Miami Heat tribute to Trayvon Martin posted by LeBron James.
In the view of this blogger, so-called Christian Ministers preaching that gays and Muslims are somehow second class citizens is pornographic. Senator John McCain was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years. Tea Party fanatics posting tasteless comments on news reports featuring McCain is beyond political comprehension. His service to his country defines the very word Patriot.
At the end of the day, misguided hatred only breeds more hatred. And yes, young black and Hispanic men in this country are racially profiled by a small segment of the law enforcement community.

Note to Reader: Judging this blogger's political views based on this specific POST is like reading a single page in the middle of a book. For the record, I'm an Independent.
