That isn't a remotely fair or accurate characterization.
I wouldn't call them 'liberal elites', but professors Chomsky and Finkelsten continue to provide about the most substantive and accurate analysis one could hope to find, and they're both Jewish, or,...
"From Eternity to Here; the Quest For the Ultimate Theory of Time" by Sean Carroll. It's quite good, and written in a very readable, colloquial style.
I loved Greenwald in that interview. He was awesome. Unsurprisingly, Spitzer was unphased by Greenwald's logic assult. Sadly, this is a minor exception in the 24/7 propaganda campaign in the media....
The effort was very minimal, I didn't even have to look anything up, or consult any sources. however, if you're going to make public pronouncements like that, you should expect, and be prepared for a...
What basis is that? The Bush administration had a rotating cycle of excuses and distortions for the war in Iraq. The first involved WMD, which is a really stupid phrase, and some sort of threat to...
Well, in all fairness I can't be responsible for being aware of the plan. I've been elsewhere for some time and I just looked at the most recent posts and..the rest is history. I didn't think his...
Why, thank you. :D
This is part of the problem with American political discourse, and the broader ulture in general, complex ideas can't always be condensed to a sound bite, thus nothing really gets communicated and...
I'm so pissed, it looks like we're getting royally screwed. Any reform that doesn't AT LEAST include a public option, (Remember, the public option is, in itself, a compromise, the ideal is...
Those were statements made by President Ahmedinijad, which would be more significant if the Iranian political system was more like ours, but it isn't. Ahmedinijad answers to the Ayatollah, he has to...
Sanctimonious nonsense. It must be great being perfect. You’re also obviously expressing that vile religious notion that sex should be accompanied by a heavy measure of guilt, that we should be...
I already posted a very long statement on Marijuana it's effects, and US domestic policy, but in brief; you've been lied to. MarijuanA has TWO carcinogens, thats' chemicals that CAN cause cancer IN...
I certainly try...
Because the United States is a global hyperpower and has both the inclination and the means to exert it's will globally, practically unchallenged. The US likes to dictate who can and cannot acquire...
Absolutely not. As Hans Christian Stroebele, Green Party member of the German parliament, put it: "If you open the window [of torture], even just a crack, the cold air of the middle ages will fill...
Whose? Israel has plenty AND has threatened to use them, not to mention the abysmal human rights record, habit of invading neighbors, etc., but i doubt even they'd commit a first strike. You can't...
Whoops. Oh well, that's really secondary, anyhow.
Rhetoric like this damages the discourse on this issue and contributes to the ignorance of the American public on foreign policy issues. First of all, while Ahmedinijad is hardly a saint, it's ver...
An Update on Democracy Now!:"A new report by the Obama administration says global warming is "unequivocal and primarily human-induced.” The Washington Post reports the study details how climate...
I figured that out, it just seems counterproductive.
I know a little german but I had to look up a few words, that seems really counterproductive. I really don't know what you're problem is. I was multitasking while breezing through you're post before...
What wasn't addressed? I thought it should be clear I have no objection with the establishment clause, I don't think I gave any reason to believe otherwise.
Well, it depends on what you're talking about. First of all, say, evolution, the big bang, and gravity are facts, not ideas, and I claim no special ownership of them. Gravity is just as much yours or...
Some good videos expounding atheism/secular humanism.
