Re: Commander-in-Chief Forum

Trump wants to keep a secret a secret and then actually listen to the Generals on the best course of action to defeat ISIS and do it - is touted by leftist as a crime of incompetence while Obama spouts his dribble? Incredible! My signature covers your link. Grow up. Anyway, what's incredible is tha...

Re: Obama nominates first Islamic federal judge

Ed, as often, you only take the immediate/short view, and assert that there will never be anything to seriously worry about, because, as you so often love to point out, that, AT THE MOMENT, it's not a big deal. Ok, fine. Lay out a plausible path by which the United States of America, a superpower w...

Re: Is Belief in God Delusional or Non-Belief?

For you though, if I talk with you, I'll respectfully using lowercase 'atheist'. I don't want to antagonise or cause you unnecessary grief. :P Either way is fine. I was just sayin'... There's no need to capitalize "atheist." We don't worship Ath. Only someone from the democrat party would...

Re: Obama nominates first Islamic federal judge

One of the problems would Possibly be that an Islamic federal judge would Possibly allow Sharia laws to be passed and practiced. Political correctness would over-rule common sense. And one of the problems with having a Christian judge is that he might base his rulings on Christian principles rather...

Re: Commander-in-Chief Forum

The Commander-in-Chief Forum . It was tonight on MSNBC. A bunch of veterans asked Clinton and Trump questions related to the armed forces and foreign policy during back to back Q&A sessions. It was held at the Intrepid Museum in NYC...? Anybody...? Bueller...? Anyway, my favorite part was when i...

Re: Obama nominates first Islamic federal judge

Good grief...

I'd prefer a devoutly religious person who took a Ginsbergesque view of Constitutional law over an atheist who took a Scaliaesque view?

I have no idea why I humor you.

Re: Is Belief in God Delusional or Non-Belief?

We're wired to be uncomfortable with uncertainty. We want answers, so we find them. Sometimes that's an adaptive trait. Sometimes it isn't. Whether or not we believe something has no bearing on reality.

BTW, which one of you clowns made me an anti-member?

Re: WP: Trump might be changing tune on illegal immigration

Fair enough. I just find it ironic that he spent a year campaigning as the get tough, no leniency, round-'em-up-'n'-ship-'em-out candidate, only to wind up taking a position that's almost exactly like the Democratic incumbent he's been criticizing. The only difference between their positions is the ...

Re: WP: Trump might be changing tune on illegal immigration

His position is basically Obama's current policy. Unfortunately for his chances, he's paired it with a bunch more extremely aggressive rhetoric that's probably going to close the door on any chance of his getting a piece of the Latino vote.

Re: WP: Trump might be changing tune on illegal immigration

Trump completely backed off his "deport 'em all" plan. Ditto on the Muslim ban. His base has been betrayed and the softening is complete.
