    The Trump Card...

    Almost all the candidates are "making efforts to increase their outreach", but that's not what I asked. Every article I've read about a Republican/conservative candidate speaking to a specific group, it's usually an echo chamber. Sometimes, a mixed group, but never what you'd call 'enemy...

    'See Something,Say Something.'

    What puzzles me is that the engineering teacher allowed it to happen - did he think it was a bomb too?! I can understand the idiocy of the others, but shouldn't an engineering teacher recognize the difference between a clock and a bomb?

    Feel-Good Intentions Never Work Out as Intended

    I think it's a bit more than that. An official recognition that peace is a goal worth the effort required. As opposed to, say, winning a football game.....In the larger scheme, which will be more useful to humanity?

    The Trump Card...

    Liberty University is a bastion of conservative thought, so yes, enemy territory. It was classy of them to invite Sanders, and to listen to him - applause for that. But the question was whether any Republicans/conservatives have appeared in front of a known Democrat/liberal audience? If not...

    Feel-Good Intentions Never Work Out as Intended

    Pretty sure their statement "It didn't work out as we hoped" acknowledges their mistake. I'm not seeing flattery or folly in that, myself. A Nobel Peace Prize is a really, really, truly big deal, and it absolutely ought to have influence. The folly was in assuming that Obama could get...

    Feel-Good Intentions Never Work Out as Intended

    You think another invasion of a Middle Eastern country would have been a better approach? I don't claim to know a lot [or much at all] about it, but it seems the people he has killed [by proxy] are terrorists - or at least, give a reasonable appearance of being that. If killing must be done, I...

    The Trump Card...

    What the candidates won't tell us is the actual extent of giveaways to the already wealthy [people and corporations], because they depend upon them for the obscene amounts of money they need to run a campaign, and because they happen to be among the wealthy themselves. Bernie Sanders is not...

    'See Something,Say Something.'

    Aaaand, proving he's way smarter than the people who are supposedly educating him, Mohammed has just announced he won't return to the school that failed him. Good call, IMO.

    'See Something,Say Something.'

    John Elliot should be proud: Mark Zuckerberg paraphrased the Load One slogan for the occasion, lol: "The future belongs to people like Ahmed." :D I sure hope so.

    Feel-Good Intentions Never Work Out as Intended

    Supporting the causes we believe are important is hardly unique to liberal ideology, and that's what the Nobel Commission was doing, IMO. They believe in attempting to make peace, rather than war, whenever humanly possible. They believed that Obama represented the best chance for peace in...

    Trusting Iranians...

    Now you're going to post the question, huh? Too late, Barkley, to frame it the way you want it read.

    Voter fraud

    Please cite those instances where anyone here [or anywhere, for that matter] says voter fraud never, ever happens.:rolleyes:

    Another Officer Down: No Outrage, No Riots...

    It's largely because the good officers allowed it [and even helped cover it up] that the bad officers remain, and good officers are sometimes mistaken for them by bad actors. And even some who aren't bad - just terrified. As far as punishment, that's not up to us to determine [and that's a good...

    Trusting Iranians...

    It is not accurate and correct because it is a deliberate lie by omission. What you omitted is just as important as what you included, and you omitted it knowingly.

    Another Officer Down: No Outrage, No Riots...

    I don't believe law enforcement needs to be told how to do their jobs by civilians who don't have a clue. Police know how they are perceived, and if they don't know which of them are the problem [because it isn't all of them by a very long shot], there should be local civilians with enough...

    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    I don't need to agree with it, which is good, seeing as there'a a blue million "its" to agree with. But neither does the County Clerk - her job is solely to attest that the persons named on a marriage license have satisfied the legal requirements to be married. She does not have the right to...

    Because you have to be the POTUS to do that. Or law enforcement. :p

    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    Childish is the filling in of certificates in Kim Davis' office. Where the line for "by the authority of" should be signed by the County Clerk [or, in this case, by her Deputy], they are writing "pursuant to federal court order." That's childish. Ditto for Davis' response to a reporter's...

    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    I wrote that same sex and interracial marriage are alike because those opposed to both cite the Bible and their religious beliefs as justification for denying two people the right to marry. [Yes, you personally do not, but the other 99.99% absolutely do]. That is wrong on several levels. I did...
