It is an issue for concern, but this particular legislation is still just baby-steps toward a total subversion of due process. The language (seemingly) does not suggest an open-ended authority to detain beyond what has already been in practice. However, it does seem that we are creeping ever...

No one is ever truly sorry for this sort of thing. It wouldn't have ever crossed his mind if he wasn't suffering from a paranoid hatred of Christians. This pernicious rabbi will never seek counseling to help him overcome his bigotry or appear in a Denver church to apologize publicly before the...

He is worried about himself. It just sounds better to appear to be worried about someone else. Usually, once the mosques all got burnt down the Christian people tended to kick the Jews out next. Aside from that he likely takes delight in seeing Christian lands contaminated with Muslims. I...

The problem with capitalism is that it is free enterprise turned into an ideology. Ideologies turn some earthly concern into The One Absolute Truth which dictates the ultimate order of society. For this reason ideologues are almost always hostile to religion because ideology is essentially a...

You cannot make them pay when they can vote, but they can make you pay.

So are you suggesting that Ron Paul will sabotage his presidential bid, by selecting Kucinich? Or that he should sabotage it by doing so? If he picks Kucinich the mainstream GOP voters will stay home feeling outraged, sold out, and feeling that they never should have trusted Ron Paul (although...

Michelle Bachmann would give the powers-that-be the very thing that would most likely instigate them to assassinate Ron Paul. Choosing any of the other GOP candidates would give the powers-that-be a more desirable VP than President.

I'll avoid making this a discussion regarding religion but I will point out that Zoroastrian Persia attacked Greece and the pagan Norse frequently plundered Europe. So much for race above all. Singling out monotheistic religions as especially cruel makes little sense historically. I can't...

It isn't really ironic. It is simply that Jews are only interested in exploiting Western nations. They feel no connection to people or soil. Western countries are nothing more than economic zones. And if the West declines, the Jews will go jump on the next big thing to make some more money...

Seems to me that supporting everyone the Jews hate causes one to lose sight of their own cause just as much as opposing everyone the Jews hate. In either case our support or opposition is directed by Jewish interests and Jewish opinion rather than a calculation of the real interests of Western...

There is a difference between thinking Muslims are scum and wanting to mass murder them. Pretty much everyone on this website opposes meddling with the Iranians in Iran, which is the goal of the propagandists. What some posters are rightly observing is that Muslims, Iranian or otherwise, are...

Agreed. Unconditional support in foreign policy is about the stupidest thing a country can do. A government is formed not for the good of all mankind, but for the good of the particular people who formed that government.

Generally, picture-posting threads only occur on message boards as an excuse to see if any members of that forum are "hot chicks." For our membership the closest I'd expect to see to a typical picture-posting thread would involve cars, guns, trophy fish, or stuff the members killed on a...

Part of the disregard for merit is the silly notion that mere diversity enriches education. Supposedly being black, gay, or female gives a person a unique and valuable perspective on stuff like Plato's Republic. Using the example of Plato, this means 75% of the class discussion will center...

Iran has not been attacked yet because events did not unfold the way the neo-cons dreamed that they would and Bush simply ran out of time. The early triumphant rhetoric regarding the two wars the U.S. government did start indicated that these desk-bound neo-cons expected quick, clean victories...

Scheffler's touchdown gyration had all the appeal of a rambling joke that drags on for a solid five minutes but lacks a punchline. Maybe it was supposed to be satire about the absurdity of Negro touchdown celebrations.

I am surprised that he is completing 60% of his passes, but equally surprising is that 60% is only good for 20th place. The only notable QBs that Newton is leading in completion percentage are Matt Ryan, Matt Stafford, and Joe Flacco. It seems like in today's NFL 60% is replacing 50% as new...

I don't think Israel will actually do any fighting: the United States will do it all on Israel's behalf as usual.

I'm hoping Dalton wins it; especially after that ridiculous pre-draft nonsense about a redhead not being capable of succeeding at the QB position.

Agreed, but it doesn't matter. Newton will win Rookie of the Year in a landslide over Andy Dalton and be in the NFL at least as long as Tavaris Jackson has been.

I guess the mass casualty drills are the only useful part of their preparation considering that you-know-who will be doing all the actual fighting.

Denver or Green Bay would be fine, but not New England. It seems that Belicheck refuses to allow any of his running-backs to emerge as a true number one. Besides, Hillis going to the Patriots would probably end up screwing over Danny Woodhead even though they are different types of running-backs.

At this point America is not a nation, but merely an economic venture. When the Stranger says: "What is the meaning of this city? Do you huddle close together because you love each other?" What will you answer? "We all dwell together To make money from each other"? or "This is a community"...

So opponents of the Democratic agenda may resort to violence? How bad does she expect the Democratic agenda to make things so that people would resort to violence?

Well, Wes Welker is just a below-average player who only looks good because of Randy Moss...oh wait. Seriously, I think we have all heard this one before.
