Familial terrorism in Pakistan (Video)
“Westerners associate terrorism in Pakistan with suicide bombers, but the real emerging terrorist threat for Pakistani women is being disfigured by acid attacks, often by their own husbands, Nicholas D. Kristof says.” – NY Times Video Opinion
Read on to see the disturbing video about thousands of women’s lifes in Pakistan. Warning: the video contains graphic images and is not suitable for young children.
Run! It’s a Leftist-Pinko-Commie Takeover!
The Wall Street Journal recently published an opinion piece outlining the “dangers” that will befall America should Obama be elected. It starts out with this stern warning:

Oh, but wait! Here’s what the WSJ has to say about the majority of Americans and their knowledge of candidates and issues. Read on for more!
