<p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">While commenting on our Western propensity towards knee-jerk reaction whenever the media reports a leftist group is upset, Mr. Hitchens states: “<em>Rage Boy keenly looks forward to anger, while we worriedly anticipate trouble, and fret about etiquette, and prepare the next retreat. If taken to its logical conclusion, this would mean living at the pleasure of Rage Boy, and that I am not prepared to do</em>.” Click <a target="_blank" href="http://www.slate.com/id/2169020/">here </a>to read the whole article.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal"><a target="_blank" href="http://beautifulrants.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/jihad_collage_cropped_small.jpg" title="Jihad_Collage"><img width="475" src="http://beautifulrants.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/jihad_collage_cropped_small.jpg" alt="Jihad_Collage" height="289" /></a><a href="http://beautifulrants.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/jihad_collage_cropped.jpg" title="Jihad_Collage"> </a></p>
<p>Brian Ledbetter, from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.snappedshot.com/">snappedshot.com </a>timelines these photos which were published by AFP &amp; Getty and carried by many in the main stream media. All the photos are of the same person taken over a period of one year at many different protests.</p>

<p>Do you feel like this guy? Go ahead, let it out.</p>
<p>Maya Angelou once said that “bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.” This site is intended to document and pay tribute to the words of those gifted souls who manage at times of great stress, to have the courage, intellect, and moral fortitude to say what we all wish we could. Together we will work to publish and provide them credit for their notable quotations.</p>
<p>This site is also intended to provide a cathartic outlet for modern day frustrations. If you have something that you’ve been dying to say, this is your forum. Think of this site as the public square and the forum is your soapbox and megaphone. Keep it creative, clean, and concise, but say what you want.</p>
<p>In time, I will add features that allow subscriber the opportunity to nominate and vote on their favorite rants. Those deemed worthy will be added to the hero’s list and forever immortalized in cyberspace.</p>
<p>Also, when you have a chance, please examine our terms of use.</p>
