Sorry to promote Peter King by mentioning his name - but it sure seems like he's the new McCarthy. Now that we don't see communists under the beds and in dark corners - and the prospects of them "taking over our country" we need a new "cause". Ta-da - here comes Kingism: Muslims are lurking in every corner - itching to take over the country or annihilate us.
A perfect example of what's wrong with education in this country today: a big chunk of society that doesn't know how to think, evaluate or understand the stuff in print online or TV. Truth? Does that matter when you're promoting a cause? And when a newscaster is caught in a flagrant lie - oops - is the answer. Until the next batch of lies.
Oh yes - can't resist a comment about the moral high-ground ethos of Mr. Gingrich. In his oh-so contrite voice about his past marital shenanigans we're supposed to say "boys will be boys"? Goes along with other macho red-neck happenings disguised as "family values". And this guy wants to be president? OY!
