If the president has the authority to not enforce the marijuana laws and the immigration laws, does he have the right to not enforce civil rights laws and the firearms laws? How about tax laws?

Why are you dragging Bush into this? Bush was never universally loved by Republicans. In fact, he and McCain are responsible for Tea Parties. If McCain and Bush hadn't abandoned conservatives, the Tea Parties wouldn't have started. Conservatives would have staying in the Republican Party.

The Washington Post is being ridiculous. Some people are justifiably sensitive about certain symbols. A white sheet and a noose are simple objects with no objective value that would make them bothersome to anyone. However, in a black neighborhood in the deep south, displaying them would be insensitive.

In a Muslim context, using the word crusade is insensitive.

Schools all over the country forbid students to wear gang colors in school.

There is nothing illegal about putting up the mosque. Likewise there would be nothing illegal with people who are offended picketing it 24/7. Nor is there anything illegal about telling Muslims that they are being intentionally insensitive. The fact that they are being intentionally insensitive, means they want to be nasty. Non-Muslim Americans naturally assume that the Muslims who are putting it up want to start a fight. We are taking note.

Let them put it up. We can have a street vender outside the mosque selling cartoons of Mohammed. That would be legal also. We will see how the Muslims like that.

The Washington Post doesn't get it. Liberals get brownie points by spending money on liberal causes. By diverting money from liberal cause to liberal cause to liberal cause, they get to spend the same money 3 times. That is obviously a major tax savings. Not only can they get points for spending the same money three times but they can also get points for budget cutting twice.

What's not to like?

Will Boulder Courts postpone court appearances for people who have the wrong colored car? Boy am I glad that my tax dollars aren't being wasted on this garbage.

Is there anyone who is in favor of war? Do anyone of you know someone who doesn't think that war is a at best a second best choice?

Why do pollsters run polls asking if people want war?

Bush and Obama are following the same path in Afghanistan because it is the best for America. Obama knew, or found out when he took office, that there are, unfortunately, really no better options.

Rushed makes a good point. Eckstine is playing fast and loose with statistics. And anyone who knows anything about statistics knows that 60 is not a representative sample.

Okay, what views should we take on honor killing? What views should we take on the exclusion of Jews from Islamic countries? If an American woman is murdered by her Saudi husband for infidelity, do we let the murderer go? Do we allow Saudi companies to violate American civil rights laws by discriminating against women and Jews in the US? Or discriminating against apostate Moslems?

Federal courts have held that a numerical variation from a normal distribution is proof of discrimination. There are fewer women in academia than men? It must be discrimination. Fewer Blacks? It must be discrimination. Fewer Hispanics? It must be discrimination.

Now there are fewer conservatives. Why isn't it discrimination?

If you want anecdotal evidence of discrimination at CU, I can give it to you.
