    Of primary concern to the SPLC is the fact that many of the Nazi white supremacists on this site are active-duty members of the U.S. military.
    Totally as a thread jack, but speaking as former active duty military and as an NCO that had to deal with situations similar, more than likely, nothing will come of this. As the article states, the matters, if raised at all with command, will be looked at case by case and there will only be disciplinary action if there was some sort of actionable conduct other than posting some rants on a website. It may follow them around, they might get a letter of reprimand., or they might not get promoted....maybe. But rarely would any of this result in discharge. I mean, you have to be seriously out there.

    However, if any of these soldiers had a facebook with an admission of homosexuality they'd be discharged with out a doubt.

    Nice priorities.

    Gibran, "I would say" is a nice illustration of what I said. There is no evidence that nearly as many catholics who are radicals as there are muslims.

    I think from what I have researched is the in some of the more "conservative" vs radical [[ i would say radical could result in terrorism)..that conservatism is struggling with modernity, and how they fit in..just like Christians prior to the period of enlightenment...or why there are Reform vs Conservative Jews...religion evolves...and what we are witnessing is the transformation of the Muslim cultures to face a modern world...but there are many more moderates in the Muslim countries than what media likes to portray..

    Muslim radicals are conservative gone further to the right..and have lost sense of their roots...

    conservatives like here on not generally bad people ..just when they radicalize their views and hate others who are different than themselves that they move into radical behavior...

    there are conservative catholics, and there are liberal ones...no big deal..it is when people cross over to violence and hate that it is radical.

    True conservatism is timeless...freedom and liberty mean the same things today as they did at the founding of this country.

    Ask an African-American if they agree.

    Or, what year did women have the right to vote or to own property?

    Paul Krugman makes the case for Goldman Sachs, and the right wing terror foisted on the American people by this crooked group of fascists. Yes, folks, terrorism comes from banks too. You can add Hank Paulson to that list as well. Using his position as treasury secretary to pull off the biggest bank heist in US history last December. And Goldman Sachs, his former employer was head of the list.

    Goldman announced it's average salary this year will top 800,000 bucks per employee. That's an average. Disgusting.

    Um.. it's not disgusting if one has a job with Goldman. besides, if we don't have rich people, who are we going to tax to pay for health care?

    Yes, it's disgusting. It's disgusting that the article is about GS's last quarter's profit under the Obama administration. It's disgusting that the Obama campaign's second largest contibutor, of $994,795, was Goldman Sachs. It's disgusting that the Democrat Party accepted $4,452,585 from Goldman Sachs in the 2008 campaign. It's disgusting that the Obama administration is as riddled with GS people as was the Bush administration. It's disgusting that Obama voted for Bush's Wall Street bailout that allowed this as you put it " the biggest bank heist in US history last December". It's disgusting, in short, that GS seems to be pulling the strings of this administration every bit as much as the last. It's disappointing that you don't seem to grasp any of this.

    Max Keiser takes offense to Goldman Sachs story [[YouTube) He thinks that GS has co-opted the Obama administration.

    The Great American Bubble Machine [[Rolling Stone, page 7)

    From tech stocks to high gas prices, Goldman Sachs has engineered every major market manipulation since the Great Depression - and they're about to do it again

    Nice article explaining what Goldman Sachs wants to accomplish with the campaign contributions and the Cap and Trade tax it supported. Bush is gone but GS has a new representative in the White House. You need to update your perspective.

    Oladub, Great article, explains a lot.

    Explains the big push for environmental issues. As someone pointed out yesterday, seems very odd the government is so concerned about climate 40 years from now when the economy is falling apart right now.

    GS' plan has one major flaw. As these carbon credits are traded and become more expensive, for the interim, utility prices will soar. I see people looking at alternative methods of developing energy and this alone will be the incentive. Thereby cutting back on demand. Or maybe that's the perfectness of their plan. Seems they have it engineered to not fail though, and of course, having the president and congress in their pocket sure helps. It would be nice if our Government was for the people and by the people as originally intended.

    You/they [[RS) have the cart before the horse. GS is not the manipulator of the government, it is the other way around. GS is acting as a second hander here, the primary evil is the collectivist statist liberal [[now) government, and to a lesser extent the liberal like spending Republicans of the previous administration.
