How about tax laws?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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?

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.

But an establishment could quite reasonably institute a dress code that excludes anyone (male or female) whose shirt is unfastened down to below the sternum. That would exclude breast feeding women, women dressed to show off their breasts, and men dressed to show off their hairy chests. The law does not require that the woman be provided with a place to sit. Nor does it require that the environment be quiet and order free.

When a woman hits a man as a joke, it's a joke. When a man hits a woman as a joke, it's not a joke. Men are held to a different standard than women because men are different than women. Get over it.

What did anyone expect? If Congress was capable of writing a law preventing this, it would have done it years ago. But Congress can't. So we will have to deal with another set of new regulations which don't do what Congress intended and will probably make things worse..

The first thing that happened is Supreme Court ruling allowing swear words and obscenity in movies, TV and in public. The second thing that happened is when the Supreme Court decided that people right to speak superseded peoples right to not listen. The third thing that happened is that people vulgarity became artistic expression. These problems started when the press decided that freedom of expression trumped all other rights. Pitts is one of the culprits responsible for this. When free speech is championed at the expense of responsible speech, we all lose.

If that is the case, repeal the second amendment. I happen to think that freedom of the press as currently done, is obsolete. I think that the media should be held responsible for the factual accuracy of what they say and should be open to lawsuit for falsehood. I But it doesn't matter what we think. The first and second amendments are the law of the land. If you judges making things up as they go along, you will find that to be worse than enforcement of a few "obsolete" laws.

They believed in the danger then. They didn't believe in the danger before then. Many of us do not believe either in global warming as a danger or that it is possible to make any significant changes in the climate. Many do not believe that global warming is caused by man. Please don't call me names because I don't believe. Instead give me resources where I can get my questions about global warming answered. Until someone answers my questions, I will have my doubts.
