"That is somewhat puzzling, as Christianity is, if anything, a religion of peace..." Sorry, I just can't stop laughing. History, both past and the recent present, have shown that Christians (and Muslims and Jews and any other religion with THE Commandment) aren't. It doesn't take a whole lot of...

Parents insisting, one way or the other, is one thing, but the State insisting, one way or the other, is quite another thing. A statement like, "It's the Pledge Of Allegiance, if you're gonna live here, learn it, say it and quit complaining," coming from an individual means one thing, but the...

I agree. Education back then was based on an educated mind having the basics of a classical education (languages, literature, philosophy, history art, archeology, mathematics and science). Political correctness has gotten us away from that.

You think 18th century politics was devoid of scum? BWWWAAAHHHAAA!!!! There was back-stabbing, scheming and conniving by nearly everyone in politics that puts today's lame politics to shame. Politics at the time of the Constitution and the first presidency was not determined by political...

"The whole people must take upon themselves the education of the whole people and be willing to bear the expenses of it. There should not be a district of one mile square, without a school in it, not founded by a charitable individual, but maintained at the public expense of the people...

I think you mean ensure, not insure, but nevertheless, public schools is exactly what those who had children devised as a way to ensure their children received an education.

Ah, Pamela Geller, the poster girl for unimpassioned, unbiased journalism. She's the woman who believes, with a 50,000 word copious justification, that Barack Obama is the illegitimate son of Malcom X because, you know, they kinda look alike. The statement of Adam Soltani, executive director...

Sooooo, what kind of new used boat didja get?

They can, but it depends on the type of GPS unit you have. I'm not sure why, in a vehicle, you'd want to retrace the last 5 or 10 miles, since your route is limited to established roads, but for hiking GPS units, saving your trail so it can be retraced is an important feature. It's a feature...

Actually, if you do some digging, you'll find out that what is presented above is pretty much it - no distortion of facts, no missing facts to fill in the voids, no Paul Harvey Moment at the ready. It's a pіssing contest between Tufts University and Harvard University (Boston Children's...

Because VW is labor-friendly in Germany, and they let the UAW right into the plant to campaign, virtually endorsing the union. Something like 80% of VW's board in Germany have labor ties. The 'if you don't go union we'll expand' thing never happened, and is an invention of the union, which...

No, not really, because the scientific field at large is self-correcting, because of the scientific method. If you look at small sections of the big picture (for example, human-caused climate change) you can genuinely see integrity issues, because conclusions are reached based on belief, not on...

Except scientists don't do that. Your understanding of science, what it is, how it works, and the scientific method, is grossly inaccurate.

Nope. Scientists won't believe or disbelieve. Your theory makes predictions that can be tested. They will test your theory with observation and experiment, and the results will either support or falsify your theory. To believe or disbelieve without having any evidence to support your position is...

Life? Yes. Human life? Yes. A baby? Not until it's born.

Actually, all of science, one hundred percent of it, is theory. In science (and everywhere else the word is correctly used), Theory (as well as Principle and Law) represents established, evidence-based explanations accounting for currently known facts or phenomena, or for historically...

Florida prosecutors desperately need to find somebody who's not black, guilty of killing someone who is.
