MSA National has recently announced the results of this year’s elections. The purpose of this article is to discuss several problems in the election process that have arisen year after year. For the record, I e-mailed the Election Committee with my concerns and a month has gone by and I have still not received a […]

Here are the relevant excerpts:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is considering letting the FBI investigate Americans without any evidence of wrongdoing, relying instead on a terrorist profile that could single out Muslims, Arabs or other racial and ethnic groups.

Today, the New York Times posted an article that reveals that the Obama campaign has fairly systematically avoided associating itself with the American Muslim community. Here are some interesting tidbits of information:

Last December, the first American Muslim congressman, Representative Keith Ellison, offered to assist Obama in Iowa last year December. The Iowa caucuses are important […]

Earlier this month, Republican Presidential candidate John McCain lambasted the oil industry:
“I am very angry, frankly, at the oil companies,” said the presumptive GOP presidential nominee. “Not only because of the obscene profits they’ve made, but their failure to invest in alternative energy to help us eliminate our dependence on foreign oil.” (Source)

A few posts ago, I engaged in a comparative analysis of the Wright-Obama controversy and compared it to the lack of a Parsley-McCain controversy. [See “Rod Parsley and John McCain Expose […]

Ali Eteraz has written an excellent post (Obama Islam Smear Changes Stripes) debunking the right’s latest tactic in smearing Barack Obama.
