ALEC is private businesses and ​conservative legislators - hardly representative of all the citizens. And it seems highly unlikely that legislators "helped write it" when the identical legislation is passed in several states where ALEC is involved. I don't like the idea of corporations writing...

In the first link, where it said "gerrymandering is usually thought of as a bipartisan offense", then explained why the 2010 Republican plan was particularly egregious. But you shouldn't have to click the link to know it's something both sides do.

Remarks by the President at National Prayer Breakfast | The White House He didn't tell anyone "not to criticize", in fact, he called ISIL "a brutal, vicious death cult", and I'm ****ed if I can see where he criticized Christians, or minimized America's values, either. :confused:

In many ways, it does: without the huge military budget, we might be forced to get creative about resolving conflict without killing people.

Humans don't "need conflict to advance science"! Intellectual curiosity is inherent in most humans, to some degree: we want to know the answers, and that advances science.

Sorry, Pilgrim, but they most certainly mentioned that gerrymandering is done by both parties. That's something that needs to be truly bipartisan.

Buy a logbook at any truckstop, directions are printed on them for HOS. Not sure if they include the latest mandated 30 min break after 8 hrs drive time, [which needs flagged on a paper log, because they might not know why you took a 30 minute break, right?] but it should be included on the elog...

I'm going to have to read the text of Obama's speech - I don't believe he "admonished everybody to back off and give ISIS a little slack" - they are terrorists, plain & simple. No comment on the Crusades, because history is written in different ways by different sides, but as far as Jim Crow...

If the society we live in today gets its news exclusively from television, we are definitely doomed. Even online news is woefully inadequate, but tv news is a farce, strictly to produce revenue from ads. What a sad comment on our society that is!

PS: after the way Obama has been treated by the opposition for all six years so far, I can't blame him for being angry or vindictive. They made it clear that if he was for it, they were against it, no matter what "it" was. Cutting off their own noses to spite their faces is hardly a...

Christian bashing? I am aware of the recent comments reminding people that radical Muslims have no monopoly on terrorizing others, but how many other comments bashing Christians have I missed? And trashing America? By acknowledging that we aren't perfect, and don't always live up to our...

Abortion kills. As does war, and people can rationalize the death of actual, real, already born babies, plus their parents and siblings, when they are killed by bombs meant for "the enemy" - not a word of protest about all those deaths. Those deaths we can accept, but a woman who has sex must...

You can go with the prayers, but my money's on hypothermia, which causes the body to put itself in a low power state - sometimes, for much longer than seems possible. That's why it's used for heart transplant surgeries - just sayin....

I've always accepted the terms pro choice and pro life at face value. A pregnant woman doesn't always choose abortion, but if she didn't intend to get pregnant, she should have a choice - at least, until either birth control or human beings are perfect. The pro life people believe they are...

The premise is not that the "liberal media" doesn't report the issues, but that they gloss over them, without questioning their import. Things like outsourcing jobs, increasing temp workers, weakening the Glass Steagall bank restrictions, high rates of incarceration when crime is [and has been]...

In reference to the Jordanian pilot being burned alive, anyone ever heard of Jesse Washington? Sam Hose?
