Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
Yes, the Romans literally killed Jesus but they were merely following the wishes of the Pharisees and the mob. The Jews were responsible. Right because the Roman governor of Judea had no choice but to kill an innocent man because "the Jews" wanted him to. Sounds plausible. :roll: However,...

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
That brings up another point - how unfair is it to attribute the acts of a small mob to an entire people? Anyone with a basic sense of morality should be able to see how unethical that line of thinking is. That being said, this is partly a problem of gullible people being convinced that this account...

Re: Political Humor
I'll repeat myself. The problem isn't that she shot the dog. They shot the dog in Old Yeller, too, but nobody blames that guy. The problem is why she did it and how she talked about it afterwards - it made her look like a psychopath.

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
More unbelievable ignorance! From Matthew 27: Did you actually read what you just posted? I mean, it's right there. The Jews didn't actually do any crucifying. The Romans did. Pilate's cute little attempt to pass off the blame isn't something that would hold up in any court anywhere. He's the one w...

Re: Middle East situation
What was markedly different before 2015 was that the U.S. wasn't producing more than it consumed. From a strictly economic perspective, so long as the price wasn't fixed, an export ban didn't really matter because there was never enough local supply anyway. Once the U.S. started producing more than ...

Re: Middle East situation
Couldn't the US government ban oil/gas exports and price fix? If we truly have enough to be self-servant, why not eliminate the rest of the world from the market flux that causes cost vulnerability? Or are we not that confident in US supply/production? First, it would be totally impractical because...

Re: Middle East situation
What complications do you speak of? Allowing Iran to prosper and profit presents the greatest complications. It's just not that simple. Any aggressive action you take in Iran has ripple effects around the world. Iran has allies that could take retaliatory measures. Some OPEC countries could decide ...

Re: Middle East situation
Never said anything about appeasement or placation. Iran certainly is a spade. But going after them directly involves complications that I'm not sure most are will to entertain. Would it be worth $10 per gallon gas prices to you?

What a clown Gaetz is: “The bill says the definition of antisemitism includes ‘contemporary examples of antisemitism’ identified by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). One of those examples includes: ‘… claims of Jews killing Jesus …’,” Gaetz wrote. “The Bible is clear. There is...

Not surprised and not holding my breath for it to change in my lifetime. But I think it helps to acknowledge the truth.

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
I've written this here before on numerous occasions, but immigration, both legal and illegal, is a boon to the economy. Always has been, always will be. It's not rocket science. A declining population means a declining economy - fewer consumers, fewer workers. A growing population contributes to a g...

NPR said Obama was born in Kenya? :lol: Oh wait, they did! She also describes the stories that have been exciting, including the U.S. presidential race of Kenyan-born Sen. Barack Obama. https://web.archive.org/web/20091020224623/http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95550177 That's ki...

Oh this is too funny: Driving the news: Trump — who has long cited mail-in voting in questioning the results of the 2020 election — abruptly shifted his public messaging this month. "ABSENTEE VOTING, EARLY VOTING, AND ELECTION DAY VOTING ARE ALL GOOD OPTIONS," he posted on Truth Social. &q...

Re: Superstar chair
So what happens to all those homes down off Stage I? "Sorry, we're pulling the lift, you'll have to try to buy a hypothetical house over closer to Pico?" Is Killington contractually obligated to them in some way? Also what about the loss of the access point coming from the East? That real...

Re: Can the Democrat Party be saved?
I take your point, but with Vietnam protests, the students were actually part of the constituency whose political leaders were prosecuting the war. In this case they've got a lot less influence on the situation. I don't have a problem with student protests. I think it's healthy and great that they w...
