Cartoonists are Controversial and Murderers are Moderate http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/dgreenfield/cartoonists-are-controversial-and-murderers-are-moderate/ Liberals are cowards. Yehuda Levi • Some people may not remember that the leftists during the communism scare were saying, "Better red than dead." They will probably come up with a similar saying like, "Better muslim than beheaded" in this fight of ideologies - being the cowards that they are. It won't be journalists or college professors that keep our freedoms, it will be brave individuals like those who attended this event and stood tall for all of us. The organizers and attendees should be honored, not attacked. MattBracken One approach is to just call out our media for sheer craven cowardice. The same media had no problem shoving "Piss Christ" in our faces and insisting we accept it as "art." Harry_the_Horrible Hank Rearden • 4 hours ago Of course they are craven - they know that Christians will not hurt them and Tea Partiers will not riot (in fact they leave the area cleaner that it was before the rally). But Moslems will kill you if they can. .............

Oh, but it is only 57 cents/pizza. No problem. Cities like San Francisco and Seattle are in the process of implementing their new minimum wage hikes. And while the hikes are gradual, some businesses are calling it quits early. Others are trying to figure out other ways to sustain themselves and cover the extra costs. As we told you yesterday, even some proponents of the minimum wage hikes are left scratching their heads. San Franciscan business owner Brian Hibbs initially thought the minimum wage hikes were a good thing. Now, he realizes that his business would have to generate nearly $80,000 more a year to cover the costs. He’s a progressive but believes that the free market could offer a better solution. Similarly, pizza shop employee in Seattle, Devin Jeran, was excited about his guaranteed pay raise. But his bigger checks will come to an end in August. His boss is now forced to close down her shop, and that will put Jeran and his 11 co-workers out of a job. All along, he thought the minimum wage increase would benefit him and make lives better. “If that’s the truth, I don’t think that’s very apparent. People like me are finding themselves in a tougher situation than ever,” he said.
