I don't think it's as much a case of having religion denied or absent, as much as it's a case of not prostituting out one's religion .... Civility, and living in a civil society which cherishes freedom and individual rights - including the right for anyone and everyone to hold religious beliefs...

Patrick B. weighs in on the matter: The Religion Card Is Turned Face Up

I sorta like this fellow's approach - and I think it says something (irrespective of the particular religion mentioned): "My faith is a deeply private issue to me, and I don’t speak on it in great detail during my speeches because I want to avoid any appearance of exploiting it for political...

Understandably so - typically, very little good comes from a mob. Nevertheless, as you point out below, the list that I referred to (which may only be a single individual's idea, and not "official) is worthy of consideration. Yup. Really, it's somewhat similar to the Tea Party in that...

I'd be really leery of making the case that there is anything that approaches a monolithic "collective ideal" in something so disparate as this. As an example: PROPOSED LIST OF DEMANDS .... not quite so crazy methinks .... Please keep in mind you are watching/listening to what the MSM...

That's correct - when you willingly do it to yourself, it's called (self) delusion ... :rolleyes:

Yup. I think the protests are largely just an indication ..... that some folks have made the observation that all is not well in Amerika .... They may not even know or understand all of what's wrong .... and they may have absolutely no real clue about what to do to effectively handle the...

Yup. A long time (40 years) passed from the initial protests against acts by the Crown to the night of April 18, 1775 when Paul Revere rode, sounding the alarm, and the colonists subsequently rose up en mass and began to take back their liberty by means of outright armed rebellion.

Yup - it was a message that probably didn't get much play at the time, thoughts that "didn't fit" the state-sanctioned narrative .... I think you are right - simply because we've all had 10 years to become at least somewhat acquainted with what is being wrought in our names - even if much of it...

In the case of Pakistan, that largely has been the announcement - our drone attacks - as well things like the open murder of Pakistani civilians on the streets of Lahore by CIA murdering thug Raymond Allen Davis (who, by the way recently, in Colorado, allegedly beat up a US citizen, in front of...

Stan, the man who thought he had a plan (and a clue) ... but who clearly didn't know what to do .... when Pat Tillman died .... and he decided it would better to have lied .... and simply just be corrup' ..... finally decides to ..... man up .... ..... kinda .... some ..... a little ...

What is it with you - are you permanently residing .... in fantasy land ? The Church Commission imposed no limits - they studied the problem and made recommendations ..... Here is the final report of the Commission - please do review it and tell us specifically, exactly which portions of you...

As is often the case, things may not be what they initially seemed to be: Report: No evidence al-Awlaki was killed in Yemen

As a required first step to decode the nearly indecipherable babble above, please tell us who "they" is ? The use of an indefinite pronoun where one has not identified who or what the indefinite pronoun actually refers to makes one's communication rather vague at best .... Of course, if the...

He was a salesman, innovator (338 patents), leader, visionary .... and a genius ... Son of a Syrian Muslim immigrant, adopted and raised by others, he is, perhaps, one of the greatest examples of a successful, largely self-made American businessman - which is not to say, that no one else had a...

Originally published on Sunday, September 30, 2001 in the LAT Former CIA consultant Chalmers Johnson offered wise advice that, as things turned out, was quite prescient indeed. The truly wise are relatively few and far between ..... they merit some attention and consideration.

Sad day to be sure :(

You might want to actually read the acts - specifically the part where it says the following: While the act says what it says, it does not set aside the Constitution and the rights a citizen obtains thereunder (ie. due process) Well, I can tell you what they ARE NOT: an unqualified and...

Well ..... okey-dokey .... US Military Study: Killing of al-Awlaki won't stop Al Qaeda

Ask and ye shall receive: Politico: Obama impeachment a possibility, says Ron Paul
