Obama set to return Manhattan to Native Americans? →
“The conservative Web site World Net Daily thinks however that the the treaty ‘could accomplish something as radical as relinquishing some U.S. sovereignty and opening a path for the return of ancient tribal lands to American Indians, including even parts of Manhattan.’”

Checked it out on Snopes, and it’s a real picture, although the book is not about how awesome the world would be without America, nor does it have anything to do with being Muslim. But even if it were, would that really disqualify Obama from being president…?

Let’s look at the numbers and see what I mean. What is the average salary for a Wal-Mart associate (the label is such a joke in itself)? Maybe he or she earns $9.00 an hour. OK, let’s make it $10 an hour for argument sake. They work 40 hours, meaning a gross of $400 a week. Take out the approximately 7% for FICA and then federal withholding and the take home is what? About $300 a week, just for...

I see a lot of complaining on Tumblr and I see a lot of people telling others they have no right to complain simply because others have it worse. While I agree that many of our first world “problems” are trivial, we do share common struggles. Something is not judged based upon a comparison to another.

savannahglam asked: As a Liberal and a Christian, I really don't appreciate you making fun of religion. I do not see the ignorant people you post on this website as 'Christians'. I do not feel they should even be allowed to label themselves as such, because true Christians are not hateful or intolerant. It is very strange to me how you mock certain groups of people for being so 'intolerant and...
