You aren't a racist if you only are a bigot in private.

If you have friends and relatives in the Lone Star State please pass this along.

Still the funniest! The Onion.

Hey! You forgot the bigot part.

Suess homage

Hey New York Senators this is uncomfortable. Fix it please.

This is JD's kind of rally

I'm proud to join this distinguished company

We, the undersigned, are progressive bloggers from across New York State. We write, report, and opine about the politics, culture, and economies of our diverse communities.

Since the 17th Century, New York State has been a gateway to the New World for people from all over the world – of every color, nation, and creed. Openness, tolerance, and diversity are what made New York great. The movement of people, ideas, and commerce westward to America’s frontier was made possible by all New Yorkers.

The rights guaranteed to us as citizens of New York and the United States are blind to religion or race. We, the undersigned, extend our hands in friendship to Muslim New Yorkers – who, like people of any faith, share our common hopes and dreams for themselves and their children.

In 2001, violent extremists indiscriminately murdered and injured thousands of innocent New Yorkers, including hundreds of Muslims. Those extremists committed their crime in the name of Islam, perverting it into a message of hatred and fear. We remember starkly the pain of this attack, and have overwhelming compassion for its victims and survivors.

But we cannot allow a hateful act to engender new hate. American values, principles, and rights should not be jettisoned because they are claimed by, or owed to, a particular faith whose name was horribly abused. We New York State bloggers believe it is our duty to stand up for the values that make America great – that our laws and Constitution apply equally to all – Muslim and Christian; Jew and Gentile; believers and non-believers.

We, therefore, support and defend the right of Muslim New Yorkers to build a community center on privately owned land in Lower Manhattan.

How many beans are you?

Not only does the guy on the right do spots for Darrel and Sean Coffey he also does them for advocacy groups too. Jimmy Siegel is the best of the best. (Me on the left.)

Spots don't come more straightforward than this

Its been around for awhile but I just found this site. Barelypolitical.com

Networking

Here is something for political candidates to consider. The benefits are obvious.

The comments are platitudinous puff but the outfits are cute.

Don't these people have spellcheck

Is it art? trash? vandalism? worthwhile?

This is an idealized message but I buy the philosophy. I believe in building from the bottom up.
