    How liberals argue

    If you're not hearing it, then you really aren't paying attention ... or are willfully ignoring it ... BTW, I know that you know way better than to rely on the MSM to report it ... ;) Read the NY Times article at the 3rd link below: They didn't "have" to do anything ... it was something that...

    Understanding war.

    Nowadays nations engaging in war are constrained by, and ultimately subject to, international law and world public opinion ... it really has nothing to do with so-called "political correctness" ... If you have any doubt of this, I'd suggest you pay closer attention to the Shrub's modifications...

    Rejecting The "Gatekeepers" That Seek to Limit The Discussion ...

    Hmmm ... imagine that: Swarthmore Hillel attendance spikes because of decision to invite anti-Zionists And apparently they haven't been overrun by hordes of anti-Zionists yet either ... Maybe this isn't really Munich and it's not 1938 after all ...

    Watch that freedom of speech

    Well, we'll see if you are really up to the task ... and if you relish the actual activity ... as opposed to just thinking about it ... Not in the least ... the facts are the facts. Okey-dokey ... Please elaborate - exactly what "types" of responses are these ? Can you define them ... give...

    You probably just need a little Christmas cheer - here's something from where truces apparently don't exist. It's the "Night Before Christmas, Gaza Version": 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the strip The IDF was shooting, even a gunship; The bombs were dropped by homes...

    Who's Missing ?

    There's another driver - a Canadian named Dave, lives around Kitchner or Cambridge - used to drive a Sprinter for Fedex CC, now in a cube I believe ... can't recall his screen name ... used to be a fleet maintenance manager before he started expediting ...

    Watch that freedom of speech

    Since you are back and still have provided no substantive response, I will conclude my initial evaluation was correct: you have no dispute with anything that was presented as factual in anything I linked.

    Watch that freedom of speech

    What constitutes an acceptable source is, like beauty, in the eye of the beholder. Some individuals/organizations/publications have a track record - a history - which affects their credibility in eyes of some, particularly those who might be more informed on the particular subject matter (as...

    Watch that freedom of speech

    I'll conclude from your lack of response that you have no actual disputes with any of the facts alleged in what I posted, or any of the links I provided.

    Watch that freedom of speech

    Not in the least ... I never claimed that any of them were totally unbiased and without a point of view ... but what in any of the links that is claimed as factual do you actually dispute ? I was very clear in my response to the OP about what I disputed - and provided sources to back up my...

    Watch that freedom of speech

    Assuming I am understanding your actual intent, we would be in agreement: they (Muslims generally) are no real threat to speak of ... though if we continue with our current foreign policy, we might well be able to remedy that and actually make them one ...

    Minute detail ? I would suggest that you avail yourself of a good English dictionary so that you might come to a proper understanding of what the word "minute" actually means in the context you are attempting to use it. I simply addressed the first whole thought or premise of the OP - which...

    Watch that freedom of speech

    That would appear to be a perversion of the truth ... which casts you in a fairly dubious light, in terms of making ignorant (or perhaps intentionally misleading) characterizations of actual events. From the remarks of United States Attorney William C. Killian at the very event you refer to...

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    I'm pretty sure it was your personal characterization ... I doubt very seriously that the American public, on the whole, put very much thought into the actual definition of treason, and "adherence to the US' enemies" ... most of 'em probably don't even know what that definition is, or what it...

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    That may well be the case ... it is however largely irrelevant to my point - which was that your characterization and rendering of the Crime of Treason was flawed and inaccurate, with respect mostly to what actually constitutes adhering to an enemy and giving aid and comfort. To be critical of...

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    BTW re: public considerations on Maines opinion - what they might have been considered at one point in time, may have very little bearing on what they would be considered at present. In this context the word prescient comes to mind for some odd reason ...
