Poll: Americans Don’t Want To Air Strike Syria

Posted by: Caiden Posted date: 11:43 AM / comment : 0 , , , ,


According to a new poll conducted by CNN, the majority of Americans do not want to air strike Syria under any of the current circumstances. CNN reporters state that only 27% of Americans would favor U.S. air strikes in Syria if a resolution failed to receive congressional authorization. If a resolution was passed by congress, 43% of Americans would favor the decision, with 55% still in opposition.
Students at Buckhannon-Upshur High School expressed their views on the matter.
“We shouldn’t get involved in Syria. It’s not our business. If they want to fight their own people, let them do it. It could start a war and create more trouble for America. Why should we get involved in the business of another country? President Obama should not act without Congressional authorization; to do so would be a dictatorship,” said Dalton Hyre, freshman at B-UHS.
 “Yes, we should air strike Syria. If we just stand around and do nothing, it could start World War III,” stated Kat Newton, senior at B-UHS.
The congress is expected to vote on air striking Syria within the next couple of weeks.

In Spokane, Washington, on Wednesday night, according to local reports, World War II veteran and Battle of Okinawa survivor Delbert Belton was beaten by two African American teenagers described as between the ages of 16 and 19. Belton passed away Thursday morning of head injuries.

He was confronted in the parking lot of the Eagles Lodge, adjacent to the Eagles Ice-A-Rena, when the two suspects jumped him, beat him, and left him to die. One is described as heavy and wearing black clothing, and the other is described as six feet tall and 150 lbs., wearing a silk do-rag.
UPDATE: Local NBC affiliate KHQ has posted what it claims are images of two "persons of interest" in the assault:

Oscar-winning Argo director Ben Affleck will play Batman in Warner Brothers' followup to Superman flick Man of Steel, according to Variety.
Predictably, hordes of nerds and fair-weather nerds who deem superhero casting decisions sacred are outraged. 
I have but one thing to say to these Pharisees:

HOLDER SUES TEXAS OVER VOTER ID LAW, CLAIMING RACISM

Posted by: Unknown Posted date: 6:33 PM / comment : 0 ,


On Thursday, Eric Holder’s Department of Justice announced a lawsuit against Texas over the state’s voter identification law, claiming that the law violated the Voting Rights Act, the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, and the 15th Amendment to the Constitution. The Justice Department is joining another lawsuit challenging redistricting in the state. The Supreme Court decided last month that Texas no longer required pre-clearance from the federal government in order to create voting laws. Eric Holder’s DOJ won’t take no for an answer, accusing Texas of adopting the law “with the purpose, and will have the result, of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group.”

Holder said in a statement, “Today’s action marks another step forward in the Justice Department’s continuing effort to protect the voting rights of all eligible Americans. We will not allow the Supreme Court’s recent decision to be interpreted as open season for states to pursue measures that suppress voting rights.”
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) fired back, saying that the DOJ was “inserting itself into the sovereign affairs of Texas… As Texans we reject the notion that the federal government knows what’s best for us. We deserve the freedom to make our own laws and we deserve not to be insulted by a Justice Department committed to scoring cheap political points.”
Recent surveys show that in the 2012 election, black turnout in the state of Texas was 86.2 percent, substantially higher than any other major ethnic group.
