    Iran's Nuclear Weapons and the Conservative Media

    1. These reports are probably not worth the paper they are printed on. 2. Is it really so far-fetched to think there are people inside the NIE that don't like Bush and are attempting to outfox him by preemptively setting this report out there to attempt and handcuff him? 3. I'm not a big Bush...

    Why do the conservative talking heads hate McCain so much?

    If you want to know why conservatives hate McCain so much, you should probably ask some real conservatives. Which is hard to find on this board. Well, I AM a conservative. And I hardly "hate" John McCain. I don't however support this guy as my candidate. I think the quip above about "imagine...

    Limbaugh admits playing his listeners for chumps

    Whoa. Raising the minimum wage doesn't help anyone but the unions (who base their contract rate off federal minimum wage levels) and politicians that rely on intellectual ignorance/laziness in the electorate to gain votes. But that's a schooling that would need a whole nother thread. -------...

    It’s just as you might think: being poor can damage your brain

    Looking past whether poor folks are any lazier, stupider, or more inept than rich folks (as a pre-existing condition caused by their respective financial situations)-- Wouldn't it stand to reason that one of the biggest factors would surely be the role models you have in your life? I don't...

    Bob Woodward book details deception and uncertainty about Iraq

    Can you make it out of the lower classes with a little elbow grease?

    Of course you can become a success even starting from the very bottom. You will have more obstacles in your way, but that's life. Not everyone is going to have it easy. Life isn't about your circumstances, or what befalls you (good or bad). It's about who you are inside and how you handle...

    Surprise! Abstinence-only programs fail miserably

    Schools should be teaching about math, english, spelling, sciences, etc. Your basics. Programs like sex ed, while being intended only as "how it works", machine-like dryness, are more often slanted towards indoctrination. Whether that is the defeatist "they are going to have sex before marriage...

    Surprise! Abstinence-only programs fail miserably

    Wow. These are their children we are talking about. You mean to tell me it's okay to make excuses about why you can't teach your own children how to be proper adults? That is the reason we have the mess on our hands today of the public schools being used as surrogate parents. Too many people...

    Surprise! Abstinence-only programs fail miserably

    On a serious note, the schools should not be teaching kids about sex. It's none of the school's business. It is the role of parents to educate their children about sex and the connected moral issues regarding sex. If the parents are derelict in that responsibility, so what? It's not the...

    Surprise! Abstinence-only programs fail miserably

    And here I thought the fact that our schools fail miserably in science, math, english, and reading was the problem. Seems the real problem is the dumbsh**s the school is churning out are procreating.

    If God existed, can he be the nicest being?

    @ OP: Is god nice? What is your understanding of nice? Maybe you are confusing "nice" with "wimpy"? God has given you the greatest gift he can bestow. Freedom. He allows you your individual freedom of thought, will, and action. He does not violate your freedom. Let me explain: If you...

    Keith Oberman rips O'Reilly a new one

    When Colbert refers to Oreilly as "Papa Bear", I can't help but crack a smile. :) I don't watch Oreilly or Olbermann. The former because he's a blowhard and the latter because he's just another leftist commentator pretending he's all serious newscaster guy. I get my news from David Spade on...

    Raise Minimum Wage? Congress: No...WE need more money though

    The real problem with a gov't mandated minimum wage is that it is price fixing. And just as price fixing never helps, but rather exacerbates the problems it's supposed to fix-- so too does mandating a minimum wage. See, if your work is only of a value of lets say $2.00 per hour (remember the...

    Missing US soldiers tortured before killed

    Something like this, I see as signs of desperation by the terrorists. Frustration. It serves no real purpose. It won't win any sympathizers to their side, it doesn't help American Democrats to spin about how the U.S. military is brutalizing innocent terrorists (as witnessed by notes found on...

    People like this is what's wrong with the country today.

    Yeah, which battles did we lose in Vietnam again? That was a different time though. Big media doesn't have a stranglehold on the news today so they can't turn the American public against a war we are winning. Thank you internet and Rush Limbaugh. ---- As for the guy in that link, he's...

    Raise Minimum Wage? Congress: No...WE need more money though

    These two issues should be separated. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but what is actually happening is Congress is NOT voting to block an automatic COLA (cost of living adjustment). The COLA happens every year since 1992, when Congress passed this bill. Basically, it's a backdoor around the...
