Re: "The Party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears...

Pastor Burns is one of frequent similar data points in the religious history of the American culture. He is one of many autodidacts claiming divine authority without any scholastic or ecclesiastical authority beyond his own personal charisma. I can easily believe he would have very little understand...

Re: Someone's Knocking on the Door....

I fondly remember the time the Mormon Elders came to my door and I invited them in. The conversation did not get very far when one asked me do you have a bible? and I replied, "As I count right now, there are seven bibles on the book shelf behind you, and more in another room. And by the way there a...

Together Again for the first time

The local college radio this morning was playing some new stuff. One that got my attention was a country' album with Renee Fleming, Dolly Parton and Bela Fleck. The very idea of these individual talents melding together got my attention but I did not get enough information to find it later on Amazon...

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

"War Crime" is not synonymous with "Act of War." Although I wish it were. It probably will be about he same time that the Lion begins to eat straw like the ox.

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

The CinC claims he stopped his war with Iran right at the deadline imposed by the war powers act. That ignores the mater of the naval blockade that continued. By USofA regulation and international agreements, a naval blockade IS an act of war.

Re: Was This a Hate Crime?

Why are you a racist? Only you know WHY you are anything. You reveal in your posts that you are very 'predictable', tightly bound into accepting data that only confirms your existing opinions on what is reality.

Re: Donald Explains the Dangers of Being President Mathematically....

By his statistical tests, Donald has proven that the USofA is the one country that cannot be trusted with atomic weapons. 100% of the atomic weapons used against other nations were from the USofA.

I don't know who you mean by shit head but if it is me, you are totally wrong by your guess. I think NOBODY has this coming. "Hate Crime?" What is the point of asking?.

Re: Yes Santa Claus, there is a Virginia

Now a Virginia judge says the whole proposition does not pass the smell test and the vote Tuesday should be as if it never happened. That is fine with me. These kinds of policy issues presented for popular vote are usually a logical and grammatical mess. Blatant obfuscation is the order of the day. ...

Re: Are some of the Corrupted Six growing a spine?

Not sure how much of a sinecure it is to be a federal judge. It is not that rare for such a judge to be impeached. It is rare for it to get MUCH publicity. Now the GOP senate will probably not approve an impeachment for any one for any thing. Like many processes in this Trump era, the GOP senate see...
