  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • Re: Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias

    Media bias is a perceived notion that certain press has and is pushing a viewpoint, instead of reporting news or airing programs in an objective way. That is the way I see it. Such bias often refers to media as a whole, such as a newspaper chain, or a given television or radio network, instead of individual reporters or writers of television ...

  • Obama can "Talk the Talk... but can he Walk the Walk?"

    When it comes to speeches and motivating those poor neglected ignorant Democrats... Obama is the King!! Throughout the campaing, he has change position on issues several times and more so than McCain. This new position now about off shore drilling is one of his latest flip ups and is all because the polls stated that the majority of American ...

  • Amazing that Americans Have This Discussion

    Having studied American civics in grade school and high school, and having my doubts that Bush Cheney or anyone else in our current White House similarly learned about American history, traditions, institutions and law, it continually amazes me that this Bush Cheney Presidency has run riot so egregiously. Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...

  • Re: This entire topic

    I’ve done my best to read and retain all of the tangents stated in these posts. I am a young and dare I say somewhat “bitter” American. I feel compelled based on this thread specifically, to steer clear of any association to any demographic other than the AMERICAN demographic. So please keep in mind that I consider myself equally guilty in the ...

  • The loss of Zimbabwe and South Africa to the Reds . . .

    . . . compares favorably with the loss of Afghanistan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China to the Socialist/Communist ideologues elsewhere. Of course, the Anglo-American world Realpolitik has suffered it's share of losses to Right Wing Ideologue regimes, as well. Look no further than France, Italy, and Iran among others. We could even mention America in ...

  • I've had that headache for some time now...

    I live in an extremely rural part of the US where many counties still have ridiculous blue laws that prohibit the sale of alcohol. These laws never stop my neighbors from buying beer or hard liquor, as evidenced by the trash they leave beside the road on their way home from the county next door where liquor is readily available. What these laws do ...
