    You didn't read the article, did you?

    Evangelicals support Giuliani for President

    Ron Paul? We can only hope a decent Republican makes the ballot. And so far, well, he's pretty much the best shot.

    Major Swift Boat Donor To Kerry: "You're A Hero"

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-geiger/major-swift-boat-donor-to_b_42279.html Sometimes, every now and then, justice occurs in our political system. I guess one of Bush's cronies isn't getting a nice appointment for that $50,000.

    Dr. ALGORE's big oil connection and carbon-neutral lifestyle.

    Remember, if you can't attack the findings, attack the underlying science. If you can't attack the underlying science, attack the findings. And if you're absolutely incapable of either, throw mud. The media wouldn't know real science if it hit them in the face anyway.

    Is America ready for a woman or minority President?

    Call me a cynic, but I don't see it. The day that Obama is judged on how good he would be as president, without race popping up constantly, is the day he could be elected. Colin Powell might have done it, because people were so used to his race, and his intelligence and raw ability were so...

    Are the Right People Becoming Teachers? The Implications of Teacher Surveys

    'On par with?' Not sure what that means. Most professionals follow the course you outlined: K-12, College, Work. The fact that their work is teaching K-12 doesn't mean that they're not professionals. But, since you're against debasement of language, dissect the Wiki definition, and tell me...

    Is America ready for a woman or minority President?

    The fact that its a question tells you the answer.

    Victim jailed after warrant discovered

    #1 - Rape investigation shouldn't end. She should go to prison, but her rapist should also be found. Even if you are under the bizarre belief that criminals are subhumans undeserving of justice (which much of America seems to hold to be true) the rapist can, and most likely will, strike again...

    Bush's will

    My scale has always been quite simple - a person needs government help when there is no way any individual could have, themselves, had a significant influence on the disaster. If your home burns down there's many things you could have done to avert the disaster. If you build your home in an...

    What they know that isn't so

    Undeniable. No is most certainly an answer. Do I care to play '20 questions, no discussion?' Asked and answered. Now, thread hijacking over. Anyone have any comments on the OP?

    Are the Right People Becoming Teachers? The Implications of Teacher Surveys

    Lets go through point by point: 1&2: Irrelevant due to the nature of the profession. When the profession is to educate a person and raise their knowledge level, there is a good likelyhood that the people will, well, be educated in what the professional knows. Certainly the professional can't...

    What they know that isn't so

    That's odd. I missed where that discussion was in the thread. I saw one person mention it. So in the interests of avoiding an obviously accidental thread hijacking, which are considered detrimental to forum operations, why don't we try to keep this thread on track by combining the discussion...

    Giving radical Islam its start (Jimmy Carter)

    I dunno. The Soviets were wrong about a lot of things. They were wrong about how best to run a country. This seems pretty indisputable. Certainly, you are not disputing it (from what I've seen). Since the Soviets were wrong about how to run their country, it seems unlikely that they were...

    Court Reinstates Key Padilla Charge

    Well nice to know that he was charged with at least a few of the things he was arrested for. The entire dirty bomb plot seems missing, but oh well, whatever. The government can arrest you than take however long it needs to find something you're guilty of.

    What they know that isn't so

    So, care to cite, with examples, how the failure of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was caused by different problems than the American invasion of Vietnam, and show that it is therefore plausable that the press is responsible for both our failures in Vietnam and Iraq? Or is your opinion on...

    U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Obama

    Heck, I don't even need to post my own opinion on this one. This speaks for itself. Hey, did you hear about Vince Foster? Bill Clinton had his hitmen kill him in the park. And George W Bush went AWOL from national guard duty while Kerry was getting Purple Hearts for cutting himself shaving...

    Yes Mach, you've proved you can beg for information. Even though I promised myself I was done feeding that particular black hole, here's some more food: http://www.slate.com/id/2102243/ Here's a few more stories: http://www.chss.montclair.edu/english/furr/pol/wtc/oblnus091401.html So, care...

    Kennedy Offered to Help Soviets Thwart U.S. Policies, KGB Papers Show

    Similarly Bahr was a man of some stature in the international field, and an expert on arms control - a person friendly to US interests. He was trying to work to control the proliferation of nuclear weapons - he was not a KGB agent. The KGB kept track of who might be friends or enemies of...
