That’s bullshit and you know it. Atheists have been pummeled for millennia and are finally reacting. Okay, so they occasionally go over the top, but at the end of the day, neither Dawkins nor Maher would ever try to force you to believe anything or kill you if you didn’t. Religious fundamentalists would try at least…

Is she the first and only black woman you have seen congratulated by her peers? If so, that's sad.

You have got to be kidding me. A black woman winning an Oscar makes you cry? You must be a bucket of tears about every other week then. This has to be one of the most insignificant “honors” a black woman has received. Calm down.

What? She was getting a standing ovation as she exited, that’s par for the course in these awards shows. Were they supposed to be wildly cheering, screaming, and otherwise interrupting her moment?

Assad is the last vanguard of secularism in the Middle East and yet again the U.S. is serving as the water boy for the Gulf States to topple him. Should that happen, nothing will stop extremists from unleashing a wave of ignorance, treachery, bloodshed, murder and all other things that we fear.

The hypocrisy really gets to me.US invades 2 sovereign states,1 of which was against international law,actively destabilized another,funds terrorists across the middle east with a total death toll in the millions.All in the past 14 years.Russia seized its own territory (don’t forget it was gifted it Ukraine, it was…

They’re probably doing the US a favor by keeping Assad in power seeing how successful removing Saddam and Gaddafi worked out.

Finally someone with an ounce of brain.

USA is trying to get rid of Assad by any means possible, even using false excuses, just like it did with Saddam a decade ago in Iraq. The White House is now worried because somebody with a pair of balls is actually opposing their lunatic idea this time. I can’t believe the USA is so hypocritical that even after its…

Yea quite frankly, I don’t care. Havent we learned already that keeping these dictators in power is an effective way of keeping the countries stable? So the Russians want to keep Assad in power, put boots on the ground and kick the shit out of ISIS. I say Godspeed to them.

You’ve got a north american finance minister in Ukraine (Nathalie Jaresko, an official of the State Department for 20 years whose nomination was “suggested” to Poroshenko by Joe Biden) and the son of Joe Biden at the head of the biggest gas company in the country, and the russians are taking over ? Man, that’s…

Why is the US more concerned about Russia than Isis? Why is Kerry more concerned about removing Asad than Isis? The US needs to get the hell out.

Russia didn’t want any nation in the Middle East de-stabilized, they didn’t want the war in Libya or this war in Syria. Russia has no ambitions in the Middle East other than maintaining their 45 year old alliance with the Assad dynasty.

nobody is dumb enough to take over fuckin’ syria.

I have the feeling we’ve elected a lot of atheists, just most of them won’t admit it.

Can we elect an atheist already? Then we can discriminate against all religions equally!

As a European I’m thankful for Russia’s involvement, Putin gets stuff done he is a strong decisive leader. Look at the farce that is the UN, a glorified talking shop of career suits.They will come to some sort of action when it is too late.

These people get paid for writing? I really can’t believe it.

“whitey”...seriously? You call yourself a writer?

I prefer no apology over the “sorry you were offended” apology. If you think you’ve done nothing wrong, don’t “apologize.” Everybody loses with that kind of response.
