My thirties have been... awkward. I feel trapped, wishing I knew 10 years ago what I finally know now. 36 years old, stable but kind of bored with my job/career, brainstorming ways to adjust career or go back to school and change entirely to what I've become more passionate about, in the...

SCOTUS just redefined marriage for everyone. Marriage was never about love and fidelity - that belief system is the reason why the divorce rates have increased so dramatically over the last 4 decades. Marriage is about furthering your genes in such a way you produce legitimate heirs to the...

There are more virgin males than virgin females. Sexual Statistics Review Session * Hooking Up Smart Short Sharp Science: Meet the real 40-year-old virgins

They also had more pro-active civil rights action plans than the Dems at that time. Both parties were alot more centrist, or their overarching political philosophies were just what would today be considered a mix of "left" and "right" policies.

I posted the 1960 Republican one in here a few months ago and also commented on how it was quite different from today's Republican platform. Now, to be fair, it's the Dems turn for scrutiny!

Here is the Democratic Party platform of 1960, the year Kennedy won the presidency: Democratic Party Platforms: Democratic Party Platform of 1960 It's ambitious, elaborate, a bit long-winded (the Republican platform of the same year is several pages shorter) and quite different in it's...

No, but I would like to vote for a fiscally responsible, economically populist and socially conservative or socially libertarian party. I'm not into social liberalism, socialism or laissez-faire capitalism.

It's their country, let them figure it out. We cannot enforce our values on other countries.

I think that for many of us, it's the pragmatic stance. I am pro-life because I believe that life begins at conception. That said, I don't believe a rape is "God's Will". Rape is rape and I don't think any woman should have to endure a pregnancy because of what some disgusting guy did to her...

The sociological trends speak for themselves. :)

I heard it in this forum and I heard it on NPR today: more liberal, socially and fiscally. America has changed, it's become more liberal and it will never become more conservative because people who value industry, honesty, marriage and religiosity are shrinking in numbers by the day. I think...

You fail to realize that the world was, well, a completely different world 50 years ago. If you didn't notice, there was this little thing called the "cultural revolution". 50 years ago, we didn't have internet inappropriate contentography, violence and all sorts of sexual images in movies, magazines and other...

France and England have already banned people from wearing religious symbols (rosary, crescent, star of david, etc) at work/school. In another 10 years, this law will be coming to America via Democratic lawmakers.

Food for thought: Obamacare is killing the medical device company I work for and has already killed several others. The introduction of Obamacare in 2010 caused a 12 year low in hospital capital purchases and slowed their new construction activity. We also saw a significant increase in our...

Nah!! Obama is an atheist/agnostic who used religion to give himself 'street cred' with the black community and get him into the presidency. He'll come out of the closet on this in his memoirs someday.

Umm, fail again.

Popular vote = political capital.

He is very anti-business. I work as a mechanical engineer for a medical device manufacturer and his health care bill is putting an excise tax on our company (mind you we're already in a horrible economic recession). Several other small medical/biotech start-ups have downsized or gone out of...

Mathematics has never been a strong-suit of the liberal brain, has it? Reagan carried 49 states and won by 18% in the PV in his re-election. Obama won roughly an even 50%, 2-3% better than Romney--about the same margin Bush Jr won over John Kerry.
