Politicians will say anything to get elected. Actually, Obama is more dangerous given that fewer people criticize him, even if they criticized Bush for the same things. No Republican wants to be associated with Bush, so they might hesitate to go to war with Iran. Obama on the other hand is...
America needs no more neo-imperial nonsense - FT.com
I know a lot of people on this forum might disagree with Patrick Buchanan, but I think he is right on foreign policy. America needs to stop being the world's police, and put its own citizens first once more.
I wonder at what point the secular-liberal fundamentalists draw the line. If they think that prohibiting those that they disagree with from owning property or starting businesses is a legitimate course of action, then are they really better than those they claim to be opposing?
Would they...

'Suu Kyi after Muslim-free Myanmar' - YouTube
More deaths, more silence, more questions asking why. Why has much of the world turn a blind eye to the killings of Muslims in Myanmar?
The Rohingyas are currently undergoing one of the most violent episodes of their...
Baha'i and Naqshbandi actually aren't related. Naqshbandi is a Sufi order within Sunnism, while Baha'i is a deviant sect of the Shi'a religion, and the Shaykhi movement (a pseudo-messianic cult) in particular.
But welcome anyhow!
Most American's politicians are within a hair's distance of one another. For all the posturing about disliking the other party, the two parties are really quite close, especially on long-term goals of foreign policy, banking, and the like.
Fortunately, most of Chick-Fil-A's restaurants are in the South. Much of their customer base are devoutly Christian, so they probably won't lose that much business. In fact, they might have lost more money by openly being pro-gay.
Actually that's not true. They recognize an entity called "Chinese Taipei," but not formally Taiwan. The international community commonly employs the term "Chinese Taipei" at the agreement of both the ROC and the People's Republic of China (PRC), commonly known as China, because it affirms...
I suppose there is no convincing some individuals who are so fanatical and extremist, that they bend over to maintain double standards.
In fact, let's switch the roles around. I consider myself oppressed by fanatical social progressives. Therefore, if I were mayor, I'd be perfectly...
Technically Taiwan is called the "Republic of China". It's not so much an issue of secession as it is succession. Both countries view themselves as the legitimate government of ALL of China, however there is a small minority in Taiwan that wants to become a separate country.
I like fish. Especially the kind you can catch yourself.
Some grilled walleye or trout is always a nice meal. If you're ever lucky enough to catch trout with the roe, keep it. You can let them soak in brine overnight and in the morning you'll have some nice caviar that you can eat with...
I think most people know this. The OP doesn't seem interested in facts, but rather smearing all Christians. It's sad that things like this are allowed to stand, but alas, in these times, people hate what is right and love what is evil.
What does this even have to do with "entertainment". If anything, it sounds like you are using the Olympics to grind an axe with the Chinese. I'll bet if the Israeli government whined about Palestinian flags, that there wouldn't even be an article.
Anyhow I'm sorry to have to say that the...
You support banning businesses that don't agree with your political views?
What if a conservative mayor wanted to ban a franchise with leftist views from the city? Do you support that as well, or do you only support discriminating against those who disagree with you?
Looking at that picture, it looks like the conversation took place within the space of less than two hours. It's quite possible that Robert. Now, facebook's Chick-Fil-A page has more than 5 million subscribers.
I think a page that active would have lit up with comments and arguments like a...
I also collect bills and coins, and have some money from the Japanese occupation of the Phillipines. I also have some not-so-vintage (but out of print) money from the Saddam Hussein era.
During college, I had a Mickey Mantle autographed baseball but my deadbeat roommate stole it and sold it...
Arabic versions of the Orthodox Bible use "Allah" for God. In Maltese, a Semitic language, God is "Alla". Most Maltese are Roman Catholic. John 3:16 is written thus:
Arabic speakers should recognize many words such as " ħabb" (loved) "id-dinja" (the world - "j" is pronounced as a...
I personally love red meat like beef, veal, and lamb. But I also like a variety of game birds, from wild turkeys to the less common grouse and pheasants.
Pure atheism in and of itself can be considered the lack of dogma, however there is no such thing as pure atheism, as to declare oneself an atheist in the first place, at least anywhere in the modern world, requires one to conceive of the concept of God first and then reject it.
New Atheism...
It occurred to me that the US is once again attempting to play both sides of the game. While they are nominally fighting Al-Qaeda elsewhere, they are secretly giving weapons to the Syrian "rebels," funneled through its various NATO allies in the region.
The US will turn on them once things...
