Plan B Forum

I notice that the Donald has organized a wonderful press conference in Florida right now. Dr. Carson, the brain surgeon is gonna endorse him. This is big, it is huge. The Donald is proud to accept the approval of the man the Donald said 'is Pathological. He has some kind of disease, it's like a chil...

BB want to shoot somebody? Trump started this talk of shooting, by bragging that he could stand on a busy street in NY City, shoot somebody at random, and his supporters would still vote for him. What does that say about the Donald's respect for his supporters? It used to be a cliche in American pol...

I could be wrong, but I note that no females have posted in this thread.

Well, except for the business of the Nazi salute, this is all happening around the USA for quite a while. The 'Swatted' prank would not work if the police were not ready and willing to break doors in the middle of the night on the slightest pretext. The police apprehension for the act of 'driving wh...

Then then there are those like me, who prefer a white Bordeaux. And the white that Brits call 'Hock' ain't too bad.

Well, the official story is that the fake metal plates or magic eye glasses had little to do with it. Joe Junior put a magic rock in to a hat and stuck his face into the hat. He saw words appear in the hat and he read them out loud while another person wrote them down. As soon as the words were writ...

Note the car was still moving around under its own power. This is better than the old Timex commercials--this Lincoln can take a beating and keep on ticking.

Lord Jim, did you work your way through the whole article? It seems to me to describe fear of social change. Social change--Civil Rights of minorities, various 'equal rights' policy planks, civil marriage without religious constraints, and the kinds of change that mostly drives the growth of the aut...

One behavior pattern among authoritarians is part of this general susceptibility to fear--they require overwhelming, out-of-proportion, objective data to change an attitude.

Well Rubato, I see your observation and raise you. Women have little class unity because there is not much that unites them. It is half the human race. Lots more differences within the group than similarities. On the other hand, I am male and will never have the opportunity to have or not have an ab...

But in Texas the question about gaining Independence is not so obvious. What about the Alamo? Did not the Texans gain independence from Mexico, not Wise King George?

What ever happened with that conspiracy last summer about the feds building special concentration camps under Walmart stores? At some point even the Texas governor bought into it.

I get phone calls and letters frequently from Mr. Lapere or his reps at the NRA warning me about the horrible things Obama is gonna do to my constitutional right to walk around with an elephant gun. And he is using the awful school shootings in Connecticut as the excuse. Pres Obama DID do something....

Big change in our whole societal expectation. In my youth, every hospital in Jackson County, Missouri was operated by the government, or by a religious charity. The one exception was run by a Doctor's co-op. They were expected to operate at a loss. Now (I could be wrong) they are all a for-profit bu...

Perhaps the Apple Corp can refuse to cooperate with the FBI because it would violate the Corporation's religious scruples?

I have long been puzzled by the public prayers at NASCAR races, High School football games, other similar gatherings. The pray-ers nearly always purport to be Christian, yet when the source of that religious tradition was asked specifically about how to do prayer, Jesus responded with advise to not ...

I found Mr. Romney's speech this morning interesting for all the things it did not do. a) it offered no hope to those who support Trump now because of anger toward a party that has its major objective to be to refuse to cooperate with the president on anything and are also afraid of terrorist activi...

I love the scepter

Please Note: Trump did not win any state last nite in the Super Tuesday match. This is not a STATE contest. It is a DELEGATE contest. All selections prior to March 15 have been proportional. Each state has their own rules, but generally anybody with less than 20% gets none. So sorry Dr. Carson, but ...

Reagan's main problem was . . .

That he was a senile old man before he took the oath of office and his main adviser was his wife who took her cues from an astrologer.
He flourished via his old skills from Hollywood. He was really great at reading a script somebody handed him.
