  • Gay Marriage and the Race Analogy

    The racism analogy isn't perfect or exact and probably should not be the only one used. However, until a better analogy can be made, and I don't see the writer of this article offering any suggestions, it's going to stick! A complicating factor will be the many bigots of all races and creeds who refuse to accept the growing body of evidence that ...

  • How many Libs Can U Fit In

    A CLOSET NONE THEY ARE ALL FAT CATS LIVING OFF THE GOV. The closet is filled with hope and dismay. How can you get even a dozen to agree when they are dispelled to europe kneejerk solutions.

  • Re: If Obama were White and Wright were in the Klan...

    I think your premise is fatally flawed. Try to think of it this way: If Bush and McCain were white (obviously they are), and their ''spiritual advisors'' made hateful comments about other groups, what would happen? Answer: Nothing. Please see this article by Glenn ...

  • Re: Race and IQ

    Transboy, I agree there will be Asian, world-class geniuses, in the future. Just not as many per capita, as Europe produces. I think a lot of the reason is biological, but not all. Part of it is definitely cultural. European culture, as Einstein once put it, ''is at the start, based on individualism''. Chinese culture is based on the group. I ...
