    And yet we have people, usually the more religious ones, who are adamantly against abortion, but just as adamantly in favor of the death penalty. Oxymoron or hypocrisy, take yer pick.

    More bad news.

    I'm confused. You talk of FMCSA rules, while at the same time note that the vehicle you drive isn't subject to those rules. And you want Congress to change these rules... that don't apply to you?

    Gowdy takes MSM to the woodshed

    It is also entirely possible, quite likely, in fact, that I didn't note the possibility of an empty room because it was a conclusion drawn or because I believe that is the case . It a brought up to illustrate not only how facts can be twisted and misrepresented, but also to illustrate just how...

    Modern Life In Appalachia

    Yes, really. The shooter clearly had mental problems, but so does anyone who takes their own life, whatever the reason. As for gay people not projecting so others can suffer for their pain, off the top of my head I'd have to go with Bradley Manning, who stated specifically that he wanted...

    Modern Life In Appalachia

    We just recently had a young man go on a shooting rampage, and then kill himself, all because of his fantasies and the fact that he couldn't control the words of girls who wouldn't go to bed with him.

    Gowdy takes MSM to the woodshed

    I'm wondering how we went from talking about actual issues to that of "a fan of," "fawning worshipers," and whether they have an ability or an inability to perceive stuff. . Oh, wait. Yep. Poster not post. Thaaat's how it happened.

    The US Department of Agriculture, the same people that gave us the Food Pyramid that made America fat. Pork Producers Quarterly I will say that bacon makes me smile, which is a good thing, so maybe it is good for you. :D

    Gowdy takes MSM to the woodshed

    But it has everything to do with reporting the truth versus reporting fantasy and calling it the truth. If it is the latter then the credibility of everything you see in the video becomes suspect, including the questions themselves, especially since some of those questions were already answered...

    True, but when a jury screws up a verdict, it is nearly always on the side of leniency, especially in those cases where the prosecution has presented its flawless case and the jury surprised the prosecution with a wild hair verdict. The only times a jury screws up a verdict in favor of the...

    Gowdy takes MSM to the woodshed

    That's because the stage was set in that manner by the "reporter" at Western Journalism. As Pilgrim noted, it's unlikely that this video will get much airtime on the MSM, because none of them were there to film it in the first place. The headline of "It Took Just 3 Minutes for Trey Gowdy To...

    Gowdy takes MSM to the woodshed

    Note that there are zero reporters seen or heard in that video. It's entirely possible that Gowdy and the people you see in the video frame are the only people in that room, other than the producers of the video, the conservative advocacy group The Western Center for Journalism.

    Electric chair to return

    And it's why, I think, if the accountability fell back onto the prosecution, we'd see a lot less manipulating of the evidence and crafting their case for the purposes of winning the case, and they'd be far more interested in the truth. They'd have to be really, really confident of their case if...

    Most people, actually. Not many people relish the thought of needless suffering, except those who want revenge, or revenge by proxy.

    The burden of proof falls on the accused now? Wow. Wow. Two Wow Moments in one thread! Pigeon, meet Hole. You both already know False and Dichotomy, right? In order to get someone to commit to a YES or NO answer to the question of, "Do you support the death penalty?" you must first define...

    Well, the jury isn't the same as the prosecution. The jury can only reach a decision based on the evidence presented to them.

    That's about the 5th or 6th time over the years that I can recall where you've used the umbilical analogy. It doesn't get any less lame. In fact, just the opposite.

    Electric chair to return

    Of course there are. But then again, there have been a lot of instances where it was 100% that the accused did it, was executed, only to later be exonerated of the crime. Whoops. That's why people are snickering, some really out loud, at the comment of, "If he wasn't 100 percent guilty then he...

    "Yes, yes, yes! They are brilliant geniuses, because they think exactly like me!" The reality is, both are engaging in political grandstanding, and neither one have the juice to get to the bottom of this.
