America Flying Drones Over 6 Countries

Somalia is now the sixth country over which the United States is flying attack drones. The 6th country. Now I’m not saying the situation in Somalia isn’t dire and that people don’t need help. However being involved in 6 foreign conflicts at the same time while the citizens of the United States are going through difficult economic times is irresponsible. While America is facing a possible government shut down due to budgetary issues and politicians in DC were shamed into cutting their vacation short to work it out, it’s not hard to think that these conflicts are one place where...

Police attack, beat and bully party goers last night at a Smif-N-Wessun and Peat Rock show and album release party in Brooklyn. The above video taken by the UK’s Jay Diamond shows the chaos in action. Several NYPD officers can clearly be seen beating people with nightsticks in the video. Now that the smoke has cleared the finger pointing has begun.

Preliminary 2010 census estimates show that, for the first time, more than half of the children under age 2 in the U.S. are minorities, part of a sweeping race change and a growing age divide between mostly white, older Americans and fast-growing younger ethnic populations that could reshape government policies. Maybe this will be the catalyst America needs to get rid of all the underlying racial turmoil that exist. That would be a wonderful thing. If nothing else, America will consume less suntan lotion! 🙂 Additional… Census estimates show minority babies now outnumber white babies, part of sweeping race change...

Glenn Beck Clowned In Memorial Montage

A Sampling of What Media Matters For America Will Miss Most from Glenn Beck’s Fox News Show Media Matters For America compiled a video montage of clips of Glen Beck’s craziness in a presentation they call “Requiem For A Rodeo Clown” Hopefully more of Glenn Becks colleagues will follow suit and end their shows on Fox News. Conservative or Liberal viewpoint not withstanding this guy over mass media was a detriment to America and help to create the volatile tone we have in this country today. We need both sides to relax with the rhetoric and take responsibility for the...

Mercy For Animals Investigates Iowa Select Farms Animal Abuse

This video was taken as part of a Mercy For Animals undercover investigation into the inhuman treaty animals receive at Iowa Select Farms, the nation’s largest pork producer in Kamrar, Iowa, in their journey from factory to your plate. I would be willing to bet that the majority of you who enjoy some crispy bacon slices wouldn’t have the heart to do this to animals even for a snack. It’s cruel and heartless but as consumers of pork you have a hand in this treatment. This isn’t the first video example of animal cruelty that any of us has seen...
