Whether you like or hate President Trump is irrelevant. He is the president. He was duly elected and there is no constitutional excuse to say he wasn't. You don't have to like him. You don't have to like his policies. You don't even have to like his mouth or his twitter or anything else about him. Do you respect the office at all? People who felt Obama was anti-American, a threat to our country, and a threat to our way of life - did they go riot the minute after he was elected and start rioting? Did they continue to riot, pillage, loot, commit criminal acts throughout his presidency? No, they didn't. They gave him a chance. yes Rush Limbaugh said "I hope he fails" - that was because he, like a few of us realized he was a progressive/marxist and would driving us toward do…
The problem in America is not fake news; it’s not journalists with an agenda, it’s not secret backroom meetings of newspaper editors crafting the most critical, or the most praiseworthy, headlines about the President. We have met the enemy, and it is ourselves. The New York Times, Boston…
As people here know I'm European. Even though Switzerland is not in the EU (thankfully), and my nationality is Swiss, I define myself as an European. Why ? Because Europe is SMALL. And yes, dear Americans, I'm NOT a "Caucasian", because that mountain range is very far east where Asia meets E…
Aldous Huxley published Brave New World in 1932. The novel describes a futuristic society that boasts a world government with the motto “Community, Identity, Stability.” The year is After Ford 632, and babies are decanted rather than born. Eugenics has been refined to t…
I don’t like Trump’s attacks on Journalists; they are trying to do their jobs and not be intimidated by the current occupant in the White House who is a Bully. I cannot understand why people support a man who advocates attacking Journalists either because that mentality acts more like so…
We are now fast approaching the ability to easily insert genes into the human genome. We can cut and paste. This will mean that defective genes causing terrible hereditary diseases such as Huntingdon's Chorea and Haemophilia will be a thing of the past. We can remove all those genes wh…
What if... the jury returns with a not guilty or even no verdict? What if... the judge's shenanigans are ignored with no reversal? What if... we have to accept that there is a large enough segment of people who are unwilling or just blind to any unlawful or unethical act to anything related to Trump…
Has anyone else noted the tendency of those wrapping themselves in "liberty", the flag, and Bible are always shilling for the Orwellian agenda of the far Right and economic elites? I pulled out my old copy of "1984", just to see how far we've descended as a nation. The frightening realization…
Trump is riding on the back of Obama's coat-tails, he wants to take the credit for what Obama achieved. Trump has accomplished.... nothing at all, he is destroying America right before your very eyes.. America is going fast down the pan now a Malignant Sociopath is in office. The …
Please allow me to tell you a short story about a very special relationship. It's one of the relationships where you don't realize how special it was until many years after it ends. No relationship lasts forever. At some point, either mortally, morally, or otherwise, somebody leaves.…
There is an old saying that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King. There was also a guy a long place ago and in a time far away who reminded us daily that we knew a little bit, soon we would know “the rest of the story”. In the case of the one-eyed man in the land of the bli…
If consent of the governed means anything, we have to apply the Constitution in the way the people who ratified it understood it. Otherwise we are imposing laws nobody consented to, which is tyranny. It's easy to say that people who object to decisions like Roe v Wade and Obergfell…
Girls have a vagina and boys have a penis. It is not that hard to understand. If people can't understand these extremely simplistic things they are not qualified for any type of teaching job, same goes for people in government positions. People who have both have a certain medical condition, …
The somewhat amazing thing about election analysis is that academia deliberately keep us ignorant of how ignorant we are about how actual voting behavior works. We know that in every single election, the total number of occasional voters who didn’t vote are at least the margin of victory…
They (mainstream news outlets) are indeed on their way out, but likely only to be replaced by something just as bad. -- TexasLynn Where is your source for this skepticism? I say this not just to TexasLynn but to all who are afraid or angry while we are experiencing extraordinary c…
St Paul writes "you should desire the special abilities the Spirit gives--especially the ability to prophesy." (1 Cor 14:1) For a Christian, prophesying is speaking out what God is speaking to them. Prophesying is normative. The ability to prophesy is one of the most awesome experiences of bei…
What does Little Richard mean to me? - High energy, visceral excitement!! I first heard Little Richard when I was thirteen way back in 1962 prior to the Beatles. The charts were full of tidied up Pop-Rock in the form of Tommy Roe, Bobby Vee, Bobby Rydell, Fabian and Pat Boone - the san…
Too many women make for too many b*tches. Women are competitive, especially with other women, and it then morphs into tribalism. There is science that proves this but the simple fact is those that experience could care less about the science since it is of little comfort. I can pick apart any woman …
I consider the question of personhood to be a "gray area" debate. That is, there is a range of changes between being a cell and being a person and it is arbitrary and pointless to debate about where exactly personhood begins. To claim, as some do, that a single cell has rights that trump a mother's …
President Trump is responsible for an explosion of communication that was once found in locker rooms and bedrooms. It is a good thing because people were suppressing what they truly felt because of political correctness. As a youth, I read about those Greek and Roman half human and half animal creat…
In his "Opening Statement before the International Military Tribunal" on November 21, 1945, Robert H Jackson offered this explanation as to why, in their so-called Nuremberg Defense, Nazi war criminals sought "refuge in superior orders [and] in the doctrine that [their] crimes were acts of states": …
Americans are abandoning religion in droves, continuing a trend that has persisted over decades. Between 2007 and 2014, the number of Americans who didn’t identify with any religion jumped from 36.6 million to 55.8 million, according to . If you marry your religion to a political …
Well to start with we don't really possess a self in order to be free. Our self is a construct of our interactions so the very idea of freedom for such a construct is spurious. But having said that a lot of us like the idea of freedom. We don't like things being imposed on us. &#…
