As my readers know, I was quite taken with the initiative shown by
Hindu-Americans in terms of creating a Hindu-Jewish-Christian-Buddhist Coalition for Peace against Islamic terrorism. Under the leadership of Satya Dosapati of New Jersey and Arish K. Sahani, of the Indian-American Intellectuals Forum, the coalition-in-formation held conference calls, rented buses, traveled to Washington, and stood in the bright, freezing weather, holding inspiring signs. They read:

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
