Open Letter to Rep. Peter King

In all of your concern regarding the radicalization of people through religion, I thik you skipped over two things.

First, you skipped Christianity and the radicals that it inspires. The Ku Klux Klan comes to mind. The two people who shot Dr. Harvey Tiller, one (Scott Roeder) succeeded in killing him, also rise to the top of that list. Since I mentioned Dr. Tiller's murderer, we may as well just throw in the entire ironically named "pro-life" movement, as they are linked to the bombings of clinics that provide a legal medical procedure. Wait a minute, is it fair for me to classify the entire "pro-life" movement as radical Christians, on the basis of the actions of a few of it's worst members? No, it isn't, but unlike you, I recognize that. Anyway, back to the radical Christians. How about the Westboro Baptist Church, you know, those fine upstanding practitioners of Christian values better known as the "God Hates Fags" people that hold demonstrations at the funeral services of fallen soldiers? I would mention the IRA, but that would be a cheap shot, giving your ties to that bomb throwing organization.

The second thing you missed was the First Amendment. Your "hearing" is an enormous waste of time and taxpayer dollars, because regardless of your "findings", there is nothing you can do about Muslims, radical or otherwise.

I don't know who is more clueless, you, Rep. King, or the Nassau County dipshits that elected you.

Why are school buses allowed on the Jackie Robinson Parkway?

Aside from the obvious twisting turns on a narrow two lane road, with few shoulders, and that kink at Queens Boulevard, which they cannot take unless they straddle both lanes, why are school buses allowed on a road that they simply do not fit on?

Couple that with the fact that the drivers of such vehicles often tailgate, change lanes without signalling, and generally are just bad drivers. For people who make a living performing an activity, shouldn't they generally be better at that particular activity than the general populous? I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a school bus driver to be a better driver than someone who just uses their car to go grocery shopping on the weekends. Shit, I am a damn good cook, but I know that I am not better than Bobby Flay or Gordon Ramsey. Why? Because they do it for a living. If I was better than them, then I'd own restaurants and have TV shows and they'd be dealing with the school bus drivers.
