I recently picked up a copy of "Theodore Rex", the biography of Teddy Roosevelt (limited to his presidency). I just started it, but I suspect there will be some interesting parallels to how the country is running now vs then. I am uncertain how the power balance between executive and...

And what was the body count?

Unless you were one of the 69 people gunned down in the Sharpeville Massacre in South Africa in 1960. Or one of the folks gunned down in the Soweto Uprising. Or maybe if you were one of the Black people forced to carry a passbook to travel around your home country under Apartheid. But I'm...

Which bombings, specifically, did Mandela call for and/or set up and how many innocents were killed? (I just noted that the list of bombings on the reference site appear to have taken place 20 years AFTER Mandela had been thrown in prison for his terroristic activities.) Just curious if...

How do you come to that conclusion?

Wow and the bombings they listed took place DECADES AFTER HE WAS IMPRISONED FOR BEING A TERRORIST! Impressive! I didn't realize the MK had TIME TRAVEL TECHNOLOGY! I do like that one of the things is that he was "friendly with dictators". Not unlike Reagan was friendly with the guys who...

This is a brilliant post! I love the bit about his "eternal fate". What do you think that fate is?

IN A HOUSE OF LIES!

Doesn't help make your point any more rational or meaningful. Honey.

Obama is a monster. How could he hurt that man so? Thanks! You guys on the Right are so much more accepting than my FORMER friends on the left. That isn't right! I need to embrace GOOD ideology. My only ideal now is to SAVE AMERICA. That's why I like the GOP. They never lie...

Just like MODERN DAY DEMOCRATS! Fightin' the Reds day 'n night! Man, the more things change the more they stay the same!!!!

Thank you Mach! I'm happy to be here! My eyes are open and I see the horrible fate that awaits America unless we can stop the Dems and the Progressive onslaught!

OHMYGOSH you're right! So even though as early as 1961 he was preaching against socialized medicine (HERE) and he was a long-time red baiter, he was SO COMPLETELY LIKE EVERY DEMOCRAT TODAY! It amazes me that someone could be so immersed in the kind of pinko liberal stuff up until his...

Oh, no I wholly agree with you! Obama lies and, ummm, an uncle cries (?) But no, I totally understand! Remember I USED to be a dyed in the wool liberal but now I'm like you a hard right conservative values-voter who is on the side of honesty and decency. I don't like lies...especially...

Yeah....like VINCE FOSTER!!!! (Why, oh why did the Republican party FORGET about all the EARLIER conspiracy theories???)

And that changes the conclusion HOW? This is curious. A fact is a fact is a fact no matter WHO says it. This is where you fell trap to the "ad hominem" fallacy of debating the SOURCE and not the CONTENT. A lesson well learned I should say!

If you check out my posting behavior you'll see I'm a pretty hardcore Progressive. Well, that was until THIS THREAD. I have to admit this was one bridge too far for me and Obama and by extension every value I've ever held in my adult life is obviously made of lies. I'm crushed right now...

Oh dear God in heaven! It's the total destruction of the PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT! If only those sharp folks on the Right weren't CONSTANTLY checking on Obama. THIS.IS.AN.OUTRAGE!!!! Indeed! It looks pretty bad! I assume this will be the thing that takes Obama down completely. Let's...

Yeah, the globe is still warming. The heat is going into the ocean but it's still heating none the less. Here's a figure from an article from 2012 with analyzes data up to 2008. (From Nuccitelli et al, 2012 HERE)

Show us the statistics that says the earth is "cooling" That's all I ask! You DO know what I'm talking about here, right? I need you to show me a statistically significant trend along with the F-test and p-value that makes your claim CORRECT. I'm not looking for a reference from some...
