    The wave of Muslim immigration at Europe's borders is getting ugly.

    That doesn't even make sense. Who are these "a lot of people"? It's certainly not Fox News viewers, since agenda driven news is what draws them to Fox. It's not the MSNBC viewers, for the exact same reason. So who are these people, and what, exactly, is your definition of "agenda driven news?"

    According to Mark Cuban, who heard it from somebody who heard it from somebody, yeah.

    'See Something,Say Something.'

    Actually, what he said was: Cuban said that Mohamed is a “great kid,” and “this is once removed, right, so I talked to the people in Irving, Texas, that work with people at MacArthur, the school. And I said, ‘What happened? What did you hear?’ This is, again, secondhand. He said, the kid...

    How soon we forget? We didn't forget. You gotta pay closer attention, I've mentioned it twice already in this thread, here and here. My comment that "the only other factor in all this" was in the context of directly responding to the Food for Thought" article that you posted. My position in this...

    The Trump Card...

    Welp, so much for the scenario of having to figure out who's the most stoopid, the guy who asked the stoopid question or those outraged over Trump's failure to denounce him for it. The winner of that context goes to Hope Hicks, Trump's spokeswoman, who correctly clarified that Trump was not...

    The Trump Card...

    I'm sure by now you're Googled "Obama said he was a Muslim" and have seen the video, or at least where it can be viewed. It was a simple gaff but conservatives went bat crap crazy, wrongly characterizing it as 'a shocking admission on live TV that he is a Muslim, and then desperately tried to...

    The Trump Card...

    Remember when Obama "said he was a Muslim!!!" in that video where he really didn't say that? Hypocrisy and selective outrage knows no political bent.

    Quite possibly, but I'm not going to speculate on what may or may not be there, to fill in the blanks with that I want them to be. I suppose it's possible that more information might be released about all this, but it was covered pretty thoroughly in the press conference on Wednesday by Irving...

    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    Davis said last Monday that her name and title would not appear on the forms and later that same day the Governor and the State Attorney General said the forms were valid. And Judge Bunning's order releasing Kim Davis said a form altered in the same manner by the Deputy Clerk the day after the...

    And all of us in Kentucky are idiot, barefoot, homophobic, backwoods, Bible-toting bigots who when we're not sittin' in a rockin' chair on the porch with our trusty jug o' moonshine on our lap, we're out drivin' the General Lee throughthe cricks and backroads trying to get in truble. Such is...

    The Trump Card...

    Setting aside the fact that liberal audiences for political speeches are historically rude to and intolerant of conservative speakers, these are party primary elections, not general elections, so the candidates are primarily focused on winning the votes of the people who are registered voters of...

    The Trump Card...

    Honestly, would it matter even a little bit to you if any Republican candidate told you think they aren't telling us? If all of them stood there and detailed 100% of the actual extent of the giveaways to the already wealthy, would that change how you vote? :rolleyes:

    Feel-Good Intentions Never Work Out as Intended

    Iran's got nothing to do with it, as they are not a nuclear nation. WTH it is is the nuclear nations that don't want to disarm themselves of nuclear weapons. Of course the European nations are on board (well, except for France). Pretty much every non-nuclear country is on board. The "usual...

    Feel-Good Intentions Never Work Out as Intended

    "Why bother learning when ignorance is instantaneous?" Not even including the local business that provide jobs generated by the NFL and the vendors and suppliers who provide the goods for those business, the 32 NFL teams by themselves employ on average 3,739 people each, including players...

    Feel-Good Intentions Never Work Out as Intended

    The flattery and folly was hoping it would work out as they hoped, thinking that by giving someone the Peace Prize before it was earned would somehow influence the future of peace or way. Nice attempt at deflecting attention to those big bad meanies in Congress who won't let Obama do whatever he...

    'See Something,Say Something.'

    See something, say something is an effective tool, but like all other tools, it has to be used properly in order to be effective. Arresting a 14-year-old kid with a Muslim name for bringing an electronic project to school that the teachers couldn't understand, even after he demonstrated it and...

    I disagree completely. If people aren't familiar with distinguishing basics things that do or do not make up a bomb, then they couldn't even function on a day-to-day basis. If you show someone a circuit board and a brick of C4, the vast majority will be able to tell you which one is most likely...

    'See Something,Say Something.'

    For many of them it's hard. They very much want to object to Muslim kids bringing scary bomb-looking things to school, while at the same time advocate bringing guns to school. It's a thin, tricky line, that one. :D

    It isn't the size of an 'atypical sized' briefcase, either. It's the size of a typical pencil case, though, constructed in the style of a briefcase. You first saw the picture and thought, "It's in a briefcase! Looks like a briefcase bomb!" And even posted that sentiment here. You seem to be...
