Hopelessly Naive Hayes: End War On Terror, Declare Ourselves 'At Peace

Suppose our enemies declared war on us—and we didn't show up? In a variation on the pacifist line from the 60s, that's essentially what Chris Hayes has proposed as American policy. On his MSNBC show this morning, the hopelessly naive Hayes suggested that rather than debating "big war"—boots on ground—versus "small war"—targeted strikes—we go for a third option "no war."  In Hayes's fantasy-…

Earth to WashPost: Romney, GOP Did Not Get a 'Shellacking' from Obama

Reporters at the Washington Post need a refresher already on the November elections.

The paper's religion section editors ran these two items side-by-side: a Religion News Service (RNS) article that was thoroughly positive about Muslim women who want to design and/or model fashionable yet modest clothing, and…
