I don't know that much about KY, but I've lived in TN and traveled the state from Bristol to Memphis for a loooong time and have learned a good bit about the culture over the years. Personally, I haven't seen the culture of abuse that you claim exists in this part of the "Bible Belt"; maybe it's...

There are a significant number of women who tolerate abuse from spouses and partners, but it's unlikely their problems have anything to do with religion. Most have mental problems relating to lack of self esteem, or being raised in a bad family environment. In any case, the laws of Christian...

Nothing in the OP makes any sense. Blaming global warming denial on Fox News and the Koch Bros. sounds like the typical parroting of talking points from the Reid and Gore playbooks. In 1975 we were being warned by hysterical weather soothsayers that the next Ice Age was already upon us. We all...

There are some of us that are curious to see a few examples of the "modern Christian treatment of women" that are "just as damaging" to women as the treatment currently imposed upon them by the Muslim religion and Sharia law.

It doesn't take much effort to find that conditions and attitudes in a lot of these Muslim countries haven't changed much since 1867 - Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, and most any other Muslim controlled country in Africa. Of course there are others like Saudi Arabia that have used their oil-based...

I read about that, and it applies to those people who are enrolled in or assigned to Medicare. Obamacare: The Final Payment--Raiding the Assets of Low-Income and Poor Americans - PaulCraigRoberts.org

You obviously understand what's going on with this situation, while others seem to focus only on the fact that Bundy lost his court decisions (in which he represented himself, according to some news reports). This seems to justify sending in heavily armed federal forces and SWAT teams to move...

You win the prize!! And also... And last but not least - it appears somebody picked up the phone and put a stop to this nonsense. Feds retreat from Nevada ranch standoff

Radical environmentalists, the EPA and quite a few other liberal institutions have gained considerable power in "recent years" under the Obama administration. It's so convenient when some govt agency - the NSA, BLM or IRS to list only a few - does something that outrageously tramples our...

In case you haven't heard about this, the first thing that comes to mind is the raid on the Branch Davidians during the Clinton administration. In a nutshell, a govt military force has been sent onto a man's ranch to confiscate his cattle due to a dispute over a relatively moderate amount of...

We're witnessing the beginning of that process with the Obama administration's attacks against the Catholic church.

Back to the original subject matter for a moment, this article could give us an idea how the US vs Russia conflict would begin to materialize between proxies. Iran continues to have significant Russian backing and the Obama administration continues to allow them to develop nuclear weapons as...

The very same thing could be said about the New York Times, especially considering the admission of liberal bias from two of it's own editors: Arthur Brisbane and Margaret Sullivan...

Another form of so-called "discrimination" that hasn't been mentioned yet is the type claimed by the mental cases that call themselves transgender. Most people have a real problem with these people who on any given day think they're female instead of male, disregarding the reality of their...

Here's an interesting article that goes along with that train of thought. Although there may not be one identifiable homosexual gene, there may be several factors that make up the recipe.

IMHO homosexuals are born with a different genetic makeup, but there are a lot of others who disagree with that viewpoint and claim it's a chosen behavior or lifestyle; both arguments have merit. Now consider those people who claim to be bisexual? That's behavioral choice no matter how you cut...

In this day and age when traditional marriage is falling out of favor with so many young (and not so young) heterosexual couples, it seems odd that the homosexuals can't be satisfied with civil unions that provide them all the legal provisions of a married couple. But then again, they have their...

One can imagine the undignified laughter when he arrives at the Pearly Gates.:p

Actually, I was in the Army during the Viet Nam era and saw all kinds of waste, fraud and abuse. But today's all-volunteer military is supposed to be treated much better than the way it was 45 years ago. One would expect soldiers from Chad to be sleeping on airport floors, not the US Marines.
