How I wish resignations qualified for unemployment checks right now!

Some interesting points among the findings:

The controversies over the building of mosques in New York City and other parts of the country are resonating in the Muslim American community. Most Muslim Americans(81%) have heard about the proposal to build a mosque and Islamic center near the site of the World Trade Center and a clear majority of those who are aware of the planned mosque (72%) say it should be allowed. However, 35% say either that the project should not be allowed (20%), or that it should be permitted but is a bad idea (15%).

Strikingly, Muslim Americans are far more satisfied with the way things are going in the country (56%) than is the general public (23%).Four years ago, Muslim Americans and the public rendered fairly similar judgments about the state of the nation (38% of Muslims vs. 32% of the general public were satisfied).

SNIP

Overall, just 5% of Muslim Americans express even somewhat favorable opinions of al Qaeda. Yet hostility toward al Qaeda varies -
75% of foreign-born U.S. Muslims say they have a very unfavorable opinion of al Qaeda, compared with 62% of all native-born Muslims and 56% of native-born African American Muslims. However, the proportion of African American Muslims expressing very unfavorable opinions of al Qaeda has increased from 39% four years go.

The survey also finds that compared with Muslims elsewhere, Muslim Americans are more supportive of the role of women in society. Virtually all Muslim Americans (90%) agree that women should be able to work outside of the home. Most (68%) also think that there is no difference between men and women political leaders. These are not the prevailing views of Muslims in most predominantly Muslim countries surveyed by the Pew Global Attitudes Project.

SNIP

Muslim Americans have liberal attitudes on a number of current political issues. A substantial majority (68%) says they would rather have a larger government providing more services than a smaller government providing fewer services. That compares with 42% of the general public.

Most Muslim Americans (70%) either identify as Democrats (46%) or lean toward the Democratic Party (24%); just 11% identify with the Republican Party or lean toward the GOP.

And my favorite stat:

Muslims report using online social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter at rates higher than those seen among the general public. This is partly due to the high rate of use among younger Muslims (75% among those under 30) and because the Muslim population is younger than the U.S. population as a whole (36% of Muslims are under age 30, compared with 22% among the general population).

Amanda Terkel's report on Gloria Steinem headlining a huge fundraiser for Pres. Obama's reelection is conclusive proof that today's establishment women do not take their power or purpose in politics seriously anymore. Instead of taking a page from Richard Trumka, the Democratic girls are all in, succumbing to practical politics, because if they take on Democrats and Republicans win things will only get worse, or so the lunacy goes.

Women elect presidents, but this is the best progressive and Democratic women in positions of power can do?

These ladies have gotten comfortable with their titles, power and access, so they've gotten lazy and we're all going to pay.

A Park Avenue fundraiser, oh, it's just so perfect for the current Democratic Party image, but especially for the women who wield power in it.

Never have Democrats been so far removed from the working man and woman.
