A circuit judge ruled last month that New Beginnings Baptist Church is the rightful owner of the building that houses the Redneck Shop, which operates a so-called Klan museum and sells Klan robes and T-shirts emblazoned with racial slurs. The judge ordered the shop’s proprietor to pay the church’s legal bills of more than $3,300.

Game recognize game… Pay attention to what you put out in the world it’s bound to come back and when it does be prepared for it. Remember what you did and be alert when you see it.

I no longer get mad when I allow people to come in my life and they act different ways because I have allowed them to come in. However, I am very particular about who I allow to come in my life because everyone you meet doesn’t need to be in your life

Situated between the emerging superpowers of India and China, the isolated Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan, hailed by some as ‘the last Shangri-La’, has generated one of the highest numbers of refugees in the world in proportion to its population.
Since 1991 over one sixth of Bhutan’s people have sought asylum in Nepal, India and other countries around the world. The vast majority of the refugees are Lhotshampas, one of Bhutan’s three main ethnic groups, who were forced to leave Bhutan in the early 1990s. There is ample evidence, as documented by Amnesty International and other human rights organisations, that the expulsion of large numbers of Lhotshampas was planned and executed with meticulous attention to detail.
Over 105,000 Bhutanese have spent more than 15 years living in refugee camps established in Nepal by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. Thousands more are living outside the camps in Nepal and India, and some in North America, Europe and Australia. Since 2008 a resettlement process has seen many thousands of Bhutanese refugees from the camps in Nepal being re-settled primarily in the USA but also in Canada, Australia, Denmark, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Norway.
This website tells the story of the Bhutanese refugees. It explains why these people became refugees, where they ended up and how they live now.

Bhutanese Refugees - The story of a forgotten people This is an amazing website - please visit and read the story of the Bhutanese refugees! Here is what I don’t get… Bhutan supposedly is one happy kingdom…
If Bhutan is so widely acclaimed for this focus on ‘happiness’, why have they discriminated so badly against Southern Bhutanese people, forcing them to flee their country?? Whenever I hear about Bhutan, the happy kingdom, I shake my head. (via perigee-syzygy) |
Ron Paul is back in the hunt for the Presidency. Many see him as an appealing candidate, one who opposes the wars, wants drugs legalized and supports fiscal responsibility. What they don’t know, is his long history of racism and connection to white supremacists. He has dodged questions on his…
Early this morning, the last of our troops left Iraq.
As we honor and reflect on the sacrifices that millions of men and women made for this war, I wanted to make sure you heard the news.
Bringing this war to a responsible end was a cause that sparked many Americans to get involved in the political process for the first time. Today’s outcome is a reminder that we all have a stake in our country’s future, and a say in the direction we choose.
Thank you.

Our thoughts to Obama: First of all, good keeping your word on Iraq. That’s a big step. Now, here’s the real challenge: Can you get out of Afghanistan after this? Or will diplomatic roadblocks continue to prevent this?
Last year, the N.Y.P.D. recorded more than 600,000 stops; 84 percent of those stopped were blacks or Latinos. Police are far more likely to use force when stopping blacks or Latinos than whites.
