As Euripides once said: "Nuke 'em all. Let God sort it out." I thought he said "Puke on em all." I think the quote is from Richelieu regarding Huguenots. As I recall, he said, "Kill them all. God will know his own." I started this thread with all seriousness. Perhaps, ...

Good..let them deal with it..nobody cares..here. Just like nobody here cares that the US, Saudia Arabia and Turkey are actually the reason that ISIS exists. I have heard it said that the difference between a Conservative and a Liberal can be summed up as... A Conservative says, "It hasn't happ...

Actually, that makes a great deal of sense. When money is on the line it is ill advised to be a "homer".

And, it would appear that their projections reflect the reality of America today...at the national level the right is so screwed. Thank the Creator for THAT!

I fail to understand why you think the ACA is anything but fairly lenient regulation of the insurance industry (which needed it badly) and the mandate. I don't like mandates but, hey, when we don't do for ourselves... the ACA was never intended to nor attempted to control American lives or health ca...

The Republican Party did not need Trump to make them look like fools to the rest of the country. They do an excellent job of that themselves...every DAY! As he said...he has evolved beyond all that. Ideological purity and insane paranoia aspects of Conservative Political Correctness are graphically...

I have long been intrigued by the Fermi Paradox. It asked the fascinating question of "Where is everyone?" in a most compelling way. Now, one area of speculation here is that most sentient species are eliminated by a "Great Filter" or a series of filter events. The neighborhood i...

If there's one thing I learned from all the years I spent feeding the downtrodden, homeless, helpless, and lost it was never underestimate the ignorance of some people (and I don't mean ignorance in a negative way but rather the literal definition). You are right that many aren't sophisticated or e...

no one has nukes in the areas where nukes could be used at the moment . USA probably doesn't need nukes to take care of the 'Islamic state' or 'iran' though . Course , with this new 'iran' deal worked out by mrobama and 'kkerry' that situation of 'iran' not having nukes will probably change 'cd' . ...

All we need are Nukes and Daisy Cutters..all situations covered. All of our problems in winning wars have come from trying to pinpoint targets and avoid "collateral" damage. Wars are won by killing civilians..not people in uniforms. Where do you get these bizarre ideas about the applicati...

Lame, PPA. Women don't need anyone to arrange mammograms. All we have to do is walk into a mobile mammography bus or into a hospital and ask for a mammogram. Procedure may be different for men, I don't know. Sue, I am posting a link for you to a full objective discussion of PPA and mammograms. It i...

all I know is that the firebombing of Dresden Germany and nuking of Nagasaki and Hiroshima did a heck of a lot of good for the USA and its allies plus my Dad and remaining Uncle . I think that those 3 targets were mostly full of civilian enemies . Dresden is something of a national embarrassment no...

Not really, Jodie. Seriously, that is an extremely simple minded statement displaying a total lack of military and geopolitical awareness.

You are talking about something of which you don't know JACK! And it shows.

That is an interesting article. The General and I share many of the same concerns about the condition of the Force. I believe it is absolutely true that the US Army is just about worn out...call it broken...from over a decade of port and starboard combat tours. I am coming to believe that the level ...

Younger generations are disproportionately pro life..so it may already be started. Okay, GfB, you said you would refute my points if I would organize them more concisely for you. So, lets just do this one. Your statement above is demonstrably wrong. I don't know your source (you never mention sourc...

Check out CD's last post. He thought he was arguing with me. He's arguing with his own post. I admit that I did a poor job of editing the quotes I included. I think I fouled up the quote markers somehow. Try to focus on the highlighted comments that are responses to yours immediately above them. I ...

I don't know, Sue. It seems that I have enough credibility here to prompt insults and evasions rather than substantive responses. Most of my problem here is from a lack of Conservative Political Correctness...I say things they aren't supposed to hear, don't want to hear and don't like. On the other ...

As I noted previously, I was not much taken with this story until I did some research. I want to share couple of things with you folks. The total World population of lions is something less than 32000 with some estimates as low as 20000. The primary causes of attrition are poaching and decreasing ha...

BB...you said that he was Hispanic. You stated that flatly. I was simply pointing out that your absolute statement could be wrong and might not reflect reality. Since everyone here (well, most) seems to think all Hispanics are rapists, murderers and other sorts of foul creatures it seems as if there...

It seems to me that this effect is on display right here. Look at the response to Sue's comment. Lack of ideological purity leads to scorn (it could also lead to election but, hey). What is happening here is a display of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS of the conservative sort. And you thought it was just Le...
